I heard that JAMMA reliability is better than MAME, is that true?
Ginsu Victim:
JAMMA is just a connection. In this case, it's connected to a crappy computer running MAME.
DeLuSioNal29:
I believe the board you mentioned only works with arcade monitors: "Supported Video Modes; CGA Standard (15kHz), PAL (15kHz), Medium (24kHz), and VGA (31kHz) "
A normal computer monitor runs at 60KHz. So you'd have to obtain an Arcade monitor for it to work. Something you may want to consider.
I think those boards are made for people who already have an empty jamma cabinet with controls and arcade monitor and don't want to be bothered with buying the necessary hardware to MAME it. (Also avoiding the software headaches with a front end and MAME).
I had been looking at this vertical 465 in 1, but then decided against it. <link removed - sorry about that!>
I may have done it if the price was cheaper, but for now it's too expensive. I had wanted to build a dedicated Vertical Cab that was capable of not only the classics, but shmups as well.
To sum things up, I love the concept of these boards, but the price points doesn't make them worth it... at least for BYOC'ers, who know better.
