Exactly. Rumble is kinda critical to the experience, at least for me. It's just how I played back in the day - plus there are certain games that require or rely heavily upon it to work properly such as Metal Gear Solid. I know not everyone feels this way, but games without rumble are really missing a dimension. I'm using Mednafen and not MAME primarily for this reason.
