Isn't Deathsmiles already dumped and playable?

Yup, and megablack label too.

Maybe not in MAME 0.189
If I understood correctly, they redump the roms for each version. If you update the MAME, you may have to update your roms that were based the older source. Dont know if that would be the case, though

Only if they made changes to the drivers.

And yes, Deathsmiles is dumped and playable in MAME, though you're better off playing one of the ports. I've heard that SDOJ was dumped but the rom has yet to be released. I imagine the same would hold true for Akai Katana but haven't heard anything on that.

MAME is the very best ( arcade emulator) that no one ever was!

I hope Saidaioujou is next to be dumped(same with Akai Katana and Deathsmiles I guess.)

Deathmiles is dumped and playable in MAME.

I think there's a NesicaxLive emulator out there that plays Akai Katana?

Its not an emulator but a loader so the dumps can be played and configured on a regular pc. Akai Katana in particular has so much input lag though that its not worth playing over the 360 port.

Edit:Found that on Emuparadise.. I say the next CAVE STG game to be dumped on MAME is Dodonpachi Saidaioujou and Akai Katana.

I believe it is similar to a Taito Type X Loader since NesicaXLive is a Taito Hardware similar to Other Type X Hardware.

Nesicaxlive is a game distribution service that can be used with various Taito boards, it isn't a piece of hardware in its own right.

Did not know about that. I wish DDPSDOJ and Akai Katana are next to be dumped for MAME.

Soon enough I hope

I think MAME said something like not before at least 2020 or something.
Also we need a proper SDOJ port by M2 on the current consoles; I can dream but that would be 10x better than another broken Steam port or MAME emulation.

Maybe for SDOJ but Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black label and Akai Katana both were released in 2010. DDPDFBL is emulated.

I think it doesn't have to do with how long it's been, SDOJ and AK dumps and emulation are mild taboo topics it seems, some people must have thought that if they stopped dumping and adding more games to MAME (although the list was almost completed), more would be released on Steam.
But that won't happen IMHO as I've had a feeling Cave's association with Degica would be limited to IP's already known to the foreign markets in the past (if I'm right the next Steam port will be ESPgaluda II and that'll be all folks)
Also the prices of Cave pcb's are skyrocketing like mad, not that it's necessarily influencing MAME's decisions, but owning a SDOJ or AK kit today is like holding trending stock, so the idea of seeing the value potentially decrease because of emulation must give nightmares to some of them owners (although emulation influencing pcb prices is mostly a legend, but heh)

Xbox 360 versions are pretty decent so I don't think emulation worries them ... an original will always be an original.
