Ok, I didn't quite get all of that
I think the biggest difference I notice is the
difference b/t my MAME on a standard TV vs
my cocktail's arcade monitor. Literally, night and day.
Here's the comparison video... watch at the end for
the footage of the rapid-fire/continuous fire thing,
see how it compares to your memories or mame hacks.
(or fast trigger fingers!). It's like playing a whole new
Galaga, like a hot knife through butter.
First up is my MAME cab, then the Galaga cocktail.
No flames on how poor I just played, it was one-handed..
