Sorry ... we can talk about  the boards, can't can't point you to where to buy them as they are not legal.

I don't think they would tell you how to flash custom image or add new games anyway, but just the other day I saw something about it on KLOV forum, probably better to ask there about this kind of stuff. 

So you want to put Elevator Action and Marble Madness on 60-in-1, even though the rest of the games are vertical? Sounds like something you would need to compile your own build, but I wouldn't try it as the hardware seem too weak for those games. It's XScale PXA270 and today's entry level phones are better than that, so it could actually be simpler if you build the whole thing from scratch yourself, maybe with something like this:

But then, why not just use some old PC like everyone else?

I still believe it is double standards being on a MAME forum and say the 60-in-1’s are illegal (but your MAME PC’s are not).
Yes, I do know that the (Chinese?) vendor is breaking all kind of MAME policies/licenses etc., but still it is just a MAME PC with integrated JAMMA hardware that someone built and took some money for building. What is that different from having a DELL PC with an J-PAC interface really?

I have more than 20 cabinets now, some are dedicated, one is a MAME PC and some use different x-in-1 boards.
My personal opinion is that I’m paying for the convenience of getting all hardware in place, not the MAME licenses. And I have no second thoughts about buying them. Of course I prefer the original cabinets and pcb’s, but in my part of the world it is an utopia to get all the games I want.
And trying to have a life besides my arcade basement I can’t spend months messing around with a MAME PC and the additional hardware for some casual gaming.
The x-in-1 boards is a compromise (quality/price/time) but if time is more important than having the perfect emulation, they are convenient. Just connect and power on. In the best of worlds somebody realizes that I just want the hardware (with JAMMA) that I can configure myself. And if there is no MAME preloaded maybe people here would ease down a bit?

But once again, this is my personal opinion and I do know that there are others here with an opposite opinion :)
