| How differently do Jamma boards run than MAME Emulations? |

I havent been to an arcade in a long time, but theres never been an instance (besides some games just running poorly/lagging...NFL Blitz comes to mind) that I remember running differently or just don't seem to be accurate to the original. So whats the purpose of a Jamma board? |
| PL1:
JAMMA is just a wiring connector/pinout standard that allows you to easily swap one game PCB for another. Just to be sure we're all talking about the same thing -- when you say "JAMMA board", which do you mean? 1. Original arcade manufacturer (Sega, Atari, Nintendo, etc.) PCB that uses the JAMMA wiring standard. or 2. An x-in-1 board (running an old bootleg version of MAME) that uses the JAMMA wiring standard.

Hey, yes PCB board.. That is like the original game correct? Like the hardware that would be found in an original machine? I am a little behind on my definitions :) Do PCB boards run better than MAME emulations or am I asking a question that makes no sense? Lol |

Lol --- End quote --- Yes, the ACTUAL PCBs will probably run better than MAME Emulations. They may not be more reliable, but they are as the game designers intended. |

Are there any "good examples" of a PCB that just outright beats it's emulated counterpart? |
