Basically hdd arcade games are PCs or similar (occasionally customized console hardware) with HDDs attached.
Pretty much anything made post 2002 is that. It started a few years earlier tho.
Before that: custom roms (or at least some custom Roms on standard arcade platform hardware for that company)
- jandrese 3y agoFamously games like Dragon's Lair from the 90s require a CHD for all of the full motion video.
- TheMogMiner 3y agoWhile MAME does support some Laserdisc-based games - Firefox, Us vs. Them, Mach 3, Cube Quest, and Time Traveler, along with a couple of others - Dragon's Lair is not among them. It's complicated.
- photonerd 3y agoYeah, they’re originally laserdiscs so a bit of a special case, but same basic idea. However it famously doesn’t support Dragons Lair! Not properly (it can play the video but that’s about it). Tho work has been ongoing. Daphne is the only emulator of Dragons Lair I know of
