| Why bother with a ??? in one board?? |

In that case, the multiboards require no software setup, and are a complete plug'n'play solution to a jamma cabinet. They are essentially a stripped down computer mounted on a board and it is suspected that some of them run MAME, if memory serves me correctly. |

Sorry If I opened up a can of worms...I just found that the arcadeVGA and a j-pac sounds like a much better Idea...even just with an old pc....at least you can play around with it more...price would be much the same.... |

Lots of people might like the simplicity of just pluging in a multiboard and poof having lots more games available. Mame is not for the weak willed. ;D I've seen two different types. The crazy ones that boast hundreds or a thousand games are really just a specialized mame pc. These always seem kinda shady to me. Then I've seen some that are more like a traditional pcb. Some of these appear more legit but I've never realy looked into it. |

I like the idea of a quick-to-configure option. Having said that, I have never bought a multi-board, but am currently considering using one for a Multi-Williams (one where you have to load the ROM images yourself). Cheers. |
