Is MAME in mono?

(1/4) > >>

javeryh:
If I install one speaker (and the subwoofer) in my cab will I be missing out on anything?  This cab is MAME only and really just games from around 1980-1984 (vertical 4-way classics).

Ummon:
Depends on the game. Look in the history.dat to see for the games you're running.

CheffoJeffo:
Very little stereo in that date range that I can think of (MCR-2 games come to mind, but the speakers there were only inches apart) ... be sure you go back further than 1980 ... Space Invaders and Asteroids are awesome with a subwoofer.

TOK:
I don't think you'll be missing much, particularly since you're including the sub. That does way more for games than a second standard speaker. I know it's not arcade accurate anymore, but once you hear Robotron through a boomy sub, it sounds like somethings missing without it. It adds so much.

javeryh:
Thanks guys.  I'll be mainly playing DK, Pac-man, etc.  I'm going to hook it up with one and if I can't tell the difference it will be good enough for me.
