Why buy jamma game PCB's when you can have mame??
clanggedin:
I built a MAME cab first, then I caught the bug and have 13 cabs now. The crazy thing is I originally wanted to buy a pinball machine, but then I found MAME and went that direction. I still don't even have any pins yet.
SirPoonga:
In my case, with the astroids, you can not emulate that and get the full experience (unless you use lasermame I suppose). A vector monitor is alot brighter than a raster monitor. You will have after images of asteroids after you play the real thing :)
And part of it is because it is fun. There's nothing like the original. My mame cabinet uses microswitches, so it will feel slightly different than games that were originally leafs, like my double dragon 2 cabinet :)
BTW, you've been throwing the term jamma around alot lately. It doesn't have to be jamma. Two games I own are not jamma. Asteroids and 1942. Or course, I still need my 1942 sent to me...

It's just neat to have the real thing around too. I think it just one of those things where if you have to have it explained to you, you probably won't get it.

There are also a lot of games in MAME that are near perfect.. but not perfect.
