Author Topic: New Programable Multicade boards (Read 67424 times)

The only board with decent gamse is the 39-in-1 or the Multi-cade boards, anyways. The boards boasting hundreds of games have mostly crappy filler games that you're virtually guaranteed never to play.

I have one of these boards and I think they rock! You turn it on and the menu is right there and the games are perfect. Its the best of both worlds...the programmability of a mame machine with the loading and operation like a classic. Since I prefer classic games prior to 1984 with just 1 button and 1 joystick, it is the perfect solution.

There are a lot of cool MAME machines out there and I run it on my PC. I just prefer having a simple jamma pcb in my cabinets. Let's remember, its about playing the games we grew up with, not the platform. Enjoy the game!

Who knows, I might do a MAME machine in the future...

Howdy--

Looks like there's some stuff that needs to be set straight here.

hi clay

can you advise on plans to support other games?

i am interested in your jamma goard but the number of supported games is just too small at the moment (when compared to what mame pc + jpac could provide)

i would like to see support for the likes of

commando
timepilot
Galaxians
Pacman
1942

suppose there will be no namco games

paigeoliver · « **Reply #44 on:** August 18, 2005, 10:34:22 am »

Commando is a newer generation of hardware, so that MIGHT not be possible on those boards (basing that guess not on any knowledge of the boards, but simply on the existing games it already supports).

ARCADE5280 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 18, 2005, 09:49:03 pm »

Thanks for the info Clay! It is a great board and an awesome menu. Good work!

I know you'll get a lot of requests...and I would like to add my 2

Karman · « **Reply #46 on:** August 19, 2005, 09:14:00 am »

rchadd - Galaxian and Pac Man are already supported by the board (along with Galaga, Ms. Pac, Super Pac, etc.). You just have to know how to recompile the meny.sys file to make it happen. Search around on RGVAC and KLOV and you'll find information on it.

I was playing Millepede and finally noticed that my high scores are not saving. I keep playing it thinking "haven't I already overtaken the high score board?"

It save the score in all the other games from what I have noticed. I have the reset high scores set to "no" in the menu. Anyone else notice this or is there something wrong with my ROM or settings? Thanks for checking it out for me.

swdarcade · « **Reply #48 on:** September 07, 2005, 07:52:09 pm »

I checked and all of my games hold the high scores.

ARCADE5280 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 09, 2005, 08:31:38 pm »

A bit off topic...Any idea how to tell if I have the correct Millepede ROM? by the default top scores? How can you be sure that you do not have an altered ROM if you are relying on others rather than taking the ROMs directly off your original boards???

davidrfoley · « **Reply #50 on:** September 21, 2005, 04:43:14 pm »

These boards by themselves are not illegal, but loading ROMs onto them is unless you have the legal ROMs from a service such as StarROMs, however, as has been pointed out numerous times, at this point, Namco and Nintendo ROMs are not licensed, so the only legal way to get these games would be to purchase the machines and actually transfer the data from the ROMs to this board, and that doesn't mean by a PCB and toss it in the closet and then download the ROMs from a pirate site.

In answer to the origins of UltraCade.....Our first emulation was of the 6502 and was completed in 1985 running on a Nec V20 CPU. In 1994 we built our first emulated arcade game, Joust. It was followed by Robotron in 1995. As a multi-game platform, UltraCade started out with 8 titles, licensed from Capcom. It is 100% legal and always has been. It's been in production since 1998 and we continue to expand the licensed properites that are shipped on the platform. We have licenses from many manufacturers and have purchased the rights to some games outright.

***OFF TOPIC***

You realize that your statement is one MASSIVE run-on sentence, right? If it takes balls for you to be on these forums and taking your licks/firing back, it take "talent" to come up with a sentence with that much rambling.

Back to your regularly scheduled topic now. Just had to comment.

They are illegal / unlicensed machines.

Exclusive means we are the only LEGAL company to offer them, people like this are stealing them and selling illegal bootleg products. We go after companies such as this and shut them down.

our rights are world wide, and we prosecute internationally. We are incorporated in more countries than just the US.

Yes, if someone were stealing from me, I would try to put a stop to it.

Well if someone broke into my house to steal something I'd certainly try to stop them. But many people (including myself) think that IP laws are totally out of control and exist mainly to serve the interests of giant corporations instead of society at large. But I guess that's a debate for another thread. So whilst I can accept on an intellectual level that using someone else's intellectual property without permission is stealing (at least under our current retarded laws) I just can't accept it's stealing on an emotional level.

Incidentally Stingray that (very funny) image is of a blind British politician called David Blunkett. Hence the guide dog.

ChadTower · « **Reply #79 on:** September 29, 2005, 01:59:31 pm »

We've had discussions here on how opinions of IP law are often easily trackable by the age of the opinion holder.

Your opinion falls pretty squarely into one of the categories. I am curious to see if it falls in the predicted age bracket.
