412-in-1 Game Elf review

<< < (2/7) > >>

redfireplace:
Thank you again. One last question. Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to the arcade game scene. Did you connect the speakers directly to the board via the JAMMA connector? I heard game boards have built in amplifiers.

Also, could someone point me toward a resource for learning how to build arcade games?

Uhhhhhh.... you're AT one?  :dizzy:

The board has a built-in amp, which is what I used.

It also has a headphone jack, which would be a non-powered (pre-amp) audio signal.

Hello,

I have built a mame in the past and really enjoy it but I had to sold it.
Now, I was looking for review on the 412-1 and you have done a great job. thanks

Questions:
1- could you add game with this board? Or I saw similar board with an SD slot......is it to add game via the SD card?
2- one of my favorite game is karate champ which is include in this board. is there an option to select the 2 joystick (like in a mame game were you select the player 1 joystick for left joystick and player 2 joystick for right joystick?

I will be waiting for your reply.

thanks !!!

1: The board does have an SD slot on it. Its covered with a plastic door. I have not removed it to see if there is a card in there or not. The manual makes no mention of the card slot. I assume the games are stored on the card, and the card is what determines how many games you have.

2: Karate Champs is on the games list. This game defaults to using 2 joysticks (just as the original did) but I can't confirm if it requires a 2nd joystick for each player, or if it uses player 2 joystick as the 2nd joystick.

I can tell you that quite a few of the games do not work due to controls configuration. For example, Q-Bert is unplayable becuase the joystick needs to be mounted at a 45° angle in the control. The tank game (name escapes me at the moment) require 2 joysticks (the same as Karate Champs), and all of the trackball/spinner games are unplayable.

Take all of the unplayable games out, and you're left with about 300-in-1.
