I downloaded an emulator a good few years ago. Manic MIner, with sprites that coloured each other as they overlapped 8-)
Loved Manic Miner

There was a piece of software that provided the framework to attach simulators as people write them, so you basically had a virtual machine of every popular home computer with all the games associated with them. Can't remember what it was called.

Mine is run from raspberry pi, when I open the joypad all that in it is the Raspberry circuit board (which is no bigger than a smart phone) with some HDMI and USB connection ports

MAME wasn't it?

Always interested in it, but never had the time to set it up.

I know the arcade games on mine are all MAME but not sure how the rest are loaded/run

Had anybody use the MAME platform recently? I'm sort of thinking of this as a winter project.

Not for at least 5-6 years. I must have another look

Yes I saw it on Battle.net and some marketing posts. I never played D1 or 2 but am absolutely hooked on S24 D3 and the ethereals atm in what little spare time I get. I know a lot of Diablo fans are going nuts about D2R and I must admit the video I watched was intriguing - similar but different.
