You can emulate most of these games released before 2002 with [http://mamedev.org/ MAME] (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). Some games (Capcom, SNK) run better on [https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tmaul/fbneo-kbhgd/build/artifacts FinalBurn Neo], Playstation/Namco-based hardware runs better on [http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/zinc.html ZiNc]. NAOMI and NAOMI 2 games can be emulated in [http://demul.emulation64.com/ Demul] and/or [http://builds.reicast.com/ reicast], with varying compatibility. [http://nebula.emulatronia.com/ Nebula] also has additional optimization for SNK, Capcom, Konami and PolyGameMaster systems, as well as the Sega Model 2 Emulator, but they haven't been updated in years. For Model 3 games, [https://www.supermodel3.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1206 Supermodel 3] is the only that can do it (for now). For most PC-based arcade games, use [https://teknoparrot.com Teknoparrot].

You can emulate most of these games released before 2002 with MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). Some games (Capcom, SNK) run better on FinalBurn Neo, Playstation/Namco-based hardware runs better on ZiNc. NAOMI and NAOMI 2 games can be emulated in Demul and/or reicast, with varying compatibility. Nebula also has additional optimization for SNK, Capcom, Konami and PolyGameMaster systems, as well as the Sega Model 2 Emulator, but they haven't been updated in years. For Model 3 games, Supermodel 3 is the only that can do it (for now). For most PC-based arcade games, use Teknoparrot.

Protip: full MAME sets can be found at Pleasuredome and RetroROMS.
