If you try to understand emulation then a whole new world of video games awaits you, friend. Check the wiki in the sticky for more information on what type of emulators to use.

Also there's a PSN release for it on the PS3.

>>4527650
It’s delisted now

>>4527661
Emulation's your only option then. Check the wiki in the sticky, it's really not that hard and once you do understand it you can enjoy a lot more games than just the simpsons arcade.

Get the PCB and play it on a cabinet.

>>4527650
man, I had so much fun on this for 360 playing with people online. why wont they release this on newer marketplaces?

OP here. Thank you all
I have a hacked Wii with homebrew channel and all that stuff. Is it possible to run Simpsons arcade game with it?

>>4527647
where do you live? Most barcades I've been to have a copy.

Galloping Ghost had one in Chicago. two of the barcades in Dallas Tx had it. One or two of the ones in NYC.

>>4527647
IIRC there's a DOS port that's decent

>>4527674
This.

>>4527738
My friends and I could get through an entire run with all four characters for about 3 bucks each. There was nothing more fun than showing people how to do the two-character combos.

In fresno at the nickel arcade on blackstone they have a Simpsons arcade machinr set on free play. But bart's stick dosent register left inputs and marge cant attack. So you can only play lisa a homer.

>>4527647
Only options are various forms of emulation on a few different platforms, buying the whole cabinet, or buying a PCB of the game and playing it with a supergun.

OP here
I just found a SDLMame version for the Wii that comes with a fowarder. Looks playable

>>4527719
Yep, that's how I played through it several years ago with MAME Wii. You'll have to get the rom for the 2 players world version though, with the 4 player you'll have to change settings every time you want to play as a character other than Marge

>>4527647
Go back from whence you came.

>>4527647
MAME is not that hard to figure out. Also, try to play with just one credit to appreciate the game.

>>4527647
I still play this on my loyal X360

>>4527759
DOSBox is emulation.
but yeah it's a decent port. one of the best beltscrollers in DOS, though that isn't saying much considering the lack of those.

>>4528451
Yes, but it's no longer available for purchase. If you didn't buy it when it was available, you'll never be able to get it.

>License popular classic arcade game for official release on consoles
>Allow license to expire and neither release disc version nor license for next gen consoles or Steam or GOG
>Wonder why people use MAME
Probably publishers don't even really care if you emulate it

>>4527719

It's possible, though FinalBurnAlpha runs it better than MAME as I recall.

>>4528613

>you'll never be able to get it

There's this thing called hacking anon, the .pkg file is still floating around and PS3s are very easy to hack now.

>>4528613
The beauty of digital distribution.

>>4529005
none of em emulate the soundtrack at the right speed tempo even after all these years.

>>4529005

Indeed. I run the 2 player rom on FBA all the time. Fun beat-em-up.

Do not post in "belt scroller" threads.
Do not reply to "belt scroller" posters.
Do not spout the "belt scroller" meme.

>>4527647
it's so easy dude

download the game. right click to compress the folder. run the compressed file in mame

easy as pie

>>4527647
Luckily I bought it on Xbox Live Arcade, but I don't think it's available there anymore. So try running it on MAME.

>>4529010
I cant find it except on 3rd world site which want me to register.

>>4528580

Because no one buys it on a drm market place.

>>4528580
The arcade game itself only used a 6809 CPU at 3Mhz, it wasn't like the thing had twin 68000s.

>>4529721
Why do you get triggered by this distinction from other beat'em ups where you can't move in 8 directions, such as Splatterhouse?

>>4528961
It sucks when licenses expire. I'm lucky I bought the two Ninja Turtles games on Xbox Live Arcade before their license expired(probably due to Nickelodeon owning Ninja Turtles).

>>4530780
Splatterhouse is a platformer.

>>4530889
lol

>>4530889
so this is the iq of anti-beltscrollerfags

>>4529010
Wait. even without Custom firmware and all that shit??

>>4529010
If you have a PS3 that hasn't been updated since 2007, sure.

>>4532249
About as high as the average enemy in Splatterhouse

>>4532709
There was a hack released for any firmware up to 4.84 which means any ps3 fat and some slims could be exploited

>>4532975
Isn't 4.82 the most recent version?
