AAE is a primarily vector based arcade system emulator/simulator written using C and OpenGL. It strives to recreate the experience of playing the games as they were in the arcade, and requires the original game ROMS in order to run. In some cases copies of the original sound files and artwork are required to complete the emulation experience. It provides for simulation options that are not available in MAME ™, and offers several features that are not available in MAME ™ due to their arcade preservation charter, such as advanced hardware based drawing and motion blur. AAE is a work in progress emulator, and no games are guaranteed to run correctly or even at all. Some games run (in my opinion) quite well, and provide an excellent representation of the arcade experience.

The beauty of this hack is that there is no need to hard-mod your Wii in order to run the exploit and all you need to do is copy over over a Zelda file, load it and the code should run. However, the hack is very much in its infancy and the team has only so far managed to run 4 lines of code after a day’s work.
