A fair statement ... I have used both 48-in-1 and 60-in-1 to replace vertical MAME cabs. If there was a reasonably-reliable XXX-in-1 with games I want, I would drop it into my MultiJAMMA.

I would love to drop MAMEDevs some bucks for each board I use, but that isn't an option.

Hm… I really don’t think it is more or less honest to have a MAME PC compared to a 60-in-1 PCB in my cabinets.
Yes, there was some Chinese dudes breaking some MAME rules when putting it on a PCB and sell it. But from my point of view I am paying them for the trouble of building a tailored computer for arcade usage, rather than paying them for profiting on the MAME devs hard work.
In a perfect world somebody would build a PC motherboard with a JAMMA connector, that you install and configure everything yourself. Maybe there is a business case in doing that…

You mean like a JPAC?

Not really, but you are right from one point of view. But it isn't the same as a board with everything integrated.
A 2012 version of this with more RAM, better CPU and a good gfx chipset (same as ArcadeVGA?) would be more convenient.
With a stripped down OS and a SSD it would probably boot faster than the 60-in-1 boards.
