Could the Arcade 1up thing have been succesful if handled differently?

reposted it in the wave 2 thread.
yes, there are plenty of people that want the iconic game,
because its cheaper, and easier than finding an original one.

I was gonna say that too. If you asked me to say what an Chinese knock-off of our fav arcades would be like, the 1UP is pretty much it. Poor build quality with careless low quality emulation just like all the knock-off ten million in one "PCBs".

Well they had plenty of experience with those x-1 boards, which was running Mame and they didn't get into any legal hot water. My guess 1Up took that as a cheaper option, as they had a legal right to use the emulator. It hasn't caused them any legal waffles. I kind of hoped it would so we can see if Mame had any legitimate legal weight. It is clear they don't. So lets hope they use mame over blue or whatever it is called in the future. Same goes for any other company that sells retro arcade products.

Is the underlying hardware pc based? If so, mame makes sense as the most complete and accurate arcade emulator but various consoles also have emulators they could have "borrowed". The ones I saw didn't look like they were running on any recent mame version I have seen. There was no HLSL etc.
If they ever made a Daytona or Sega Ralley cab, I would hope it would be based on the PS3 emulator. The PS3 versions of those games are the most accurate and least buggy I have seen. Far better than my pc model 2 emulator.
