==Vantage==

−
Vantage is an acronym for Vertical ANTiquated Arcade Game Emulator.
 
−
 
 
−
VAntAGE is designed purely as a replacement for your 'classic' arcade board collection.
 
−
 
 
−
It was written to be as small and fast as possible (to keep the cost of the host PC to a minimum) and to run the arcade games 'as intended'.
 
−
 
 
−
With this in mind, it supports:
 
−
*rotation (i.e. correctly oriented video)
 
−
*screen flipping
 
−
*cocktail modes (for all games)
 
−
*screen video mode tweaking (see Video Mode Tweaking on home page)
 
−
*arcade monitor output
 
−
*various options to run 'tall' vertical games on a horizontal arcade monitor

==ZiNC==
 
−
ZiNc is an emulator for arcade video games based on Sony PlayStation hardware. This includes systems from Capcom, Taito, Konami, Tecmo, and Namco, among others. These games are also supported in MAME, but ZiNc can frequently run them faster and with graphics and sound enhancements (therefore not a full emulator, see also [[simulators and remakes|simulators]]).

R.Belmont, one of the authors of ZiNc, says:
 
−
:"ZiNC is intended for people too cheap to buy a machine that runs MAME well. If you own a cabinet, you have that kind of money." [http://www.bannister.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=001803;p=1#000015]
