Openjamma almost certainly won't come to fruition. It has sailed over a month past the date that the dev units were supposed to be released, without even a word as to why, when or where. All their facebook page ever shows is stickers and drawings of new logos.

It is reinventing a wheel that already exists and is doing so on a terrible platform. Why do all the standard 60 in 1 and 138 in 1 etc boards suck? Because they are running on an underpowered ARM platform. What is openjamma? Another underpowered arm platform.

They already make something way better than that and they have made them for years. All those 1xxx in 1 boards and 2xxx in one boards are intel PC based systems that connect directly to the jamma harness and have way more horsepower than a 1 ghz arm system. I have no idea why they are reinventing the wheel when they could just order those things without hard drives on them.

FYI the arm boards used in many of these xx in 1 boards are light years below the modern ARM architecture. Even comparing the arm processor in a 5 year old phone to the chipets in these xx in 1 units is like comparing an pre-pentium era cpu to a pentium4.

But everyone has their own ideas about what works for them and why they use them. Some people like embedded platforms, some would prefer a pc. All in the eye of the beholder.

The 2010 in 1 I put in the Hung Donkey was a Core2Duo and ran everything pretty well, even some of the 3D games like Tekken 3 and what not.

JPac + Soft15Khz  FTW!

Stumbled across Uzebox Jamma today in my searching/reading up of alternatives. Sounds like a good option. What I'm curious about with it however, it loads ROMs in the file format/extension of ".hex", I would be curious if either the board could be programmed to load .bin ROM files or MAME ROM conversion somehow.

uzebox (jamma) is an 8 bit computing platform. it cannot run mame, it does not load roms either.

It's basically a homebrew platform.
