This is like probobly 7 year old news for most but I found this MAME thing Multiple Arcade Machine emulator,
It emulates all the old arcade machine and you download the roms for any old arcade game, the sound the video the colors the whole things is EXACTLY like playing it on the old arcade machine, I got Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles and it's spot on like the arcade as it is the binary image off the old PCB's. Mame just makes it things it talking level 2 code to the acutal arcade hardware where it's really talking to the emulator pretending to exist at that level, even does the rom ram and screen tests as if it was the old hardware.
The ROMS are illegal as they are licensed but just search for mame roms at rom world. I found a site that has every single one that I wanted prehistoric isle, 1943, Wardner, Superman, POW all the good ones
