How is DOS a bloated OS?
Can you hide dos? NO
Can you run an arcade vga with dos? not sure enlighten me
How many video cards can you use with a CGA monitor?
How many Frontends can you use with dos & CGA monitor? 2
How safe is it to run said said frontends with a CGA monitor? one little pc hiccup or power failure and your monitor is fried
Dos is not very efficient on modern pc hardware and no where as efficient on old pc hardware running emulation software as an embedded system would be
Again a PC is still just a PC
A multi-board may be emulation but it is still a dedicated Arcade board no matter how you look at it. You plug it in turn the machine on and your playing a game, that's what most people are looking for just take a look at every thread in the software section of people asking how to hide the OS and nobody as fully accomplished this feat yet wether it be as small as a cursor flashing for a short period of time to as much as the frontend losing focus for no reason what so ever
All I did post my opinion on the subject not force it on anyone and it seems like its turned into a pissing match, not what i want it to turn into
I have always wanted my own arcade machine since I was a kid and when I found mame it brought those feelings back "MAME is GREAT" But its still a pc playing games in a cabinet.
Multi-board may be emulation but it is still a gameboard not a pc and when I can afford one it will be in my next vertical cab
No need to rebut I'm dun defending my opinion
