Wow is it that time of the week already? I'm sure the last thread just ended. Maybe driverman will stop by to clarify.

I dont think I'll be missing any games because I have an upright MAME cab with trackball, spinner, U360's etc.  I just wanted a more authentic feel for a few games, mostly DK, Ms Pac Man and Galaga.  4 way joystick, 1 button, nothing more.  If I go with MAME the gamelist would likely have 15-20 games.  These games are emulated perfect as far as I can tell in MAME right now.  If the 60 in 1 was as good as my MAME is I'll be happy.  I didn't realize the 60 in 1 was taking tech from MAME and selling it.  I'll take that into consideration also.

The 60-in-1 is _old_ MAME tech, the emulation of the majority of the things it runs has improved significantly since then.  That's how it's able to run on such a low-spec board, it's effectively a port of the versions that were done for handheld devices with an arcade frontend and pre-booted states tacked on.  The sound especially on them is *terrible*

I'd prefer to see an outright ban on their discussion here, they're becoming too much of a problem.

Is that like not talking about racial prejudice or sexual preference because it is a problem?  A discussion
of the pros and cons of these boards and real facts about them is a better choice than banning their discussion.

I was considering one for a project, after hearing those facts I will steer well clear, thanks!
