MAME has information screens upon launching a game. Download the latest official version, upgrade your romsets, and it can answer all of your questions if you let it.
Games are playable now, but lag makes it difficult.
> Firebeat
No change.
> Viper
No change.
> PC based arcade games like Hydro Thunder
The PC-based Megatouch XL games work now. Hydro Thunder definitely does not.
> LaserDisc stuff
No change.
A few things we do have now: a DRC for Dreamcast/Naomi/Atomiswave, many more 3D Midway/Atari and Incredible Technologies games playable (GT Fore!, Big Buck Hunter, War: Final Assault, The Grid), a bunch of emulated protection via decap in Taito and Gaelco games, Sega Model 2 finally becoming playable (including LAN play), and much, much more.

If you don't feel like reading 4 years worth of whatsnew.txt files, this guy here has been doing a decent job capturing MAME's progress on video for the last two years.

Select share on the video, then embed. Copy the HTML code it gives you (starts with < iframe), then paste it directly in your post. The forum software will take it from there.
BTW, I've never played that game, Blood. I think I've heard of it though.
Before I forget again I should also mention Haze's blog has large and illustrated write ups for every year back to 2006. Worth a visit when you have time.
interesting reads actually. Very interesting to see the LCD games progress. Made me remember playing a lot of Tiger's The Lion King which took about 3 days for me to figure out how to play it properly!
