How many use mame to make replica cabs??
Q*Bert_OP:
My Pac Man runs just pac man games(pac man, Ms.pac,jr. Pac, Super pac)
RayB:
I was thinking about this the other day, and really, a used PCB is usually the same or cheaper than the equivalent PC + JPAC setup.
The advantage is playing more than one game.

Diskettes have a limited number of read/writes before they go byebye, but optical discs can last indefinitely if they're taken care of.

That is assuming that the computer/BIOS/OS you use will actually BOOT from a CD though.
I've run into alot of older PC's that won't.

I don't remember the last time I used a PC with an ATX motherboard that couldn't do it.

By the time you factor in the cost of building the replica cabinet, it would probably be cheaper to buy a dedicated machine. All the little bits add up.
