MAME vs 48-in-1 benefit analysis....
<< < (4/7) > >>
Lutus:
I think Frizzle has mentioned that he disabled the trackball games and such since he didn't have a trackball.

As far as commercially illegal I believe I have seen a board like this used in a commercial setting, has any one else witnessed this?

Repeating whammoed , how accurate is the emulation on those 48-1 boards?  If it's anywhere near as bad as the Ultracade cabinet's emulation (sounds were off), I would definitely go with MAME.

If an old pc don't have AGP, then it most definitely does not have PCIe.

As to emulation, the 48-1 is comparable to MAME. The only quirk I have seen is that sometimes when you start Ms. Pacman the 1st screen is blue. If you die or advance, it goes back to normal. Other than that everything works perfect.

Actually, the blue screen in Ms. Pacman isn't a quirk.  If you put a coin in before blinky appears you will start out with a blue maze instead of pink.  It was in the original and in MAME as well.

It is done and it is illegal (no license for the games in question).

To add to that, the 48-1 is running an older version of MAME and is violating the MAME license.

Is it ?

There was a thread in which I specifically asked the MAMEDevs which boards were MAME-based. I don't think I got a solid answer for the 48-in-1s. For the Babystar 465-in-1, and other triple-digit-in-1s, the answer is pretty clearly yes, but I don't recall a definitive answer for the 48-in-1s.

I asked the question originally because at least one MAMEDev had suggested that Clay's multiboards (sold by ArcadeShop) were MAME-based, but another refuted that (as does Clay himself).
