--- Quote ---A lot of roms work at full speed including great games like Shinobi, Megaman, Pang, R-Type, DoDonPachi, Bubble Bobble and many others. This was accomplished by a combination of overcooking, Advance Mame compilation and optimization options, sound settings, optimal screen resolutions, and a lot of configuration tweaks.

Out of the box, the Pi will run a few games at good speed but a majority of them will run at an unplayable speed. Boosting the Pi to ~900 is where the biggest bang for the buck is achieved. The issue with this primarily is that you effectively shrink the lifespan of your Pi by doing this. Just something to consider.
Another guy and I both posted threads on this before as far as how applicable the Pi is to arcade gaming.

Has anyone found the extent of what games will run on the PI?

Let's put it this way. Most people can't play street fighter II on a pi without overclocking and still have slowdown issues. Essentially you can kiss most of your 90's era gameplay goodbye.

Perhaps a future Raspberry Pi II?

Or just stick a dumpster PC in the bottom of the cabinet, save money by not buying the pi or the additional hardware they needed to buy in order to use the pi and have way better functionality and no framerate problems and maybe the games might actually fill up the whole screen then too.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean it makes any sense to do it.

I thought this same thing when I saw your Joust.
