I've been dipping back into MAME recently and starting to put together some libraries of different systems for an eventual cabinet. But there seems to be a big gap in emulation, whereas console emulators are relatively recent (competently emulating the Wii, PS2 and original Xbox and starting to move on to the next gen) the arcade emulators seem to be stuck firmly in the 2D late 90s.

For example I couldn't find nearly any of this list emulated and most of them are over 10 years old (2D schmup excluded): http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/09/best-arcade-video-games_722481/

What are people's opinions on more modern arcade emulation. Is it just not possible? Is someone else working on it instead of MAME? Is there some kind of PC port for some (although I find that doubtful for things like Mario Kart)?

EDIT: just to add I'm not expecting games from last 5 or so years but it just seems MAME (the only arcade emulator I know of) doesn't seem to be progressing in regards to 3D and post 2000 games or if it's even a mission aim and there are a few quality games I'd love to have in a cabinet at some point.

The Taito Type X is an arcade system board released by Taito Corporation in 2004.

Based on commodity PC hardware architecture, Type X is not a specification for a single set of hardware, but rather a modular platform supporting multiple hardware configurations with different levels of graphical capability. This flexibility allows game developers limited choice in selecting a configuration to fit the game's specific requirements, and allows the platform as a whole to more efficiently support gaming titles with vastly different computing needs. For example, the Type X+ and Type X2 models have upgrade graphics processing power, which could be put toward better game visuals, or outputting to higher-resolution (HDTV) displays. The Type X7 board is used primarily for pachinko machines in Japan. Rawiya co-owned the company that produced this system board.^{[citation needed]}

Taito Type X and X7 use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional as the recommended development platform.

The Taito NESiCAxLive add-on allows arcade owners to use a digital distribution system to download games.
