aw poopy, i forgot to add pinball to the poll -.-
but yeah, emulating simple machines like CPS1-CPS3, MVS, etc. is doable on almost any device that's average. But when it comes to more recent machines like Naomi and the Type X series, you need a strong computer at best. IIRC, Type X machines actually run on Windows XP, so to emulate one of their games, you need a super fucking powerful virtual machine on a super fucking powerful PC. (this is like...windows only, no exceptions)
there's nothing better than going to actual arcades though. i never really had the luxury of having one nearby until i moved to the west coast last summer and now there's like a retro-themed barcade right around the corner in like every town/city. i dunno how to describe the experience exactly, but there's just something about it that's unique from any other way to play a game.
