[[File:1676971-ms_pac_man_arcade_machine.jpg|thumb|156px|Example of a Ms. Pac-Man arcade cabinet.]]Arcades are not a single console, but rather hundreds of separate arcade system boards. Most arcade emulators focus on emulating many systems in one program, with some focusing on a few systems, and others attempting to emulate every system.

* [[MAME]] is very extensive, with the majority of arcade system boards from the 70's, 80's and early 90's supported. Do not expect support for more recent boards, such as atomiswave. MAME focuses on [[accuracy]] and archiving arcade games, which means it does not always focus on usability for the end user. Only the most up to date romdumps will work in the latest MAME. There are many MAME front-ends available.

* Supermodel emulates Sega's Model 3 arcade platform focusing in accuracy. Presently, Supermodel is in a very early "alpha" stage of development, meaning it lacks many planned features. It does not yet have a user-friendly graphical interface, game compatibility remains low, and all CPUs are emulated using straightforward (and slow) interpretation rather than fast just-in-time translation.
