I wanted to see anyone opinion on vertical Jamma 60 in 1. I have seen a few of them was wondering which was the best one, and whats the best place to order one from?

Thanks

While not exactly a "60 in 1," nor the least expensive option by any stretch, I'd recommend the ArcadeSD.  I absolutely love mine.

60-1, had a few with various board changes - same shit.

if you can spare the extra, go for a 412 in 1 blue elf or something.

Depends on what games you care about as the games vary in quality (especially around sound quality).

I've heard people recommend the ArcadeSD board (for higher quality experience).

For a cheaper alternative, I know some people like the 412-in-1 vertical board as well (I'm using this board just to run Qbert in my gutted Qbert cabinet until the Jrok multi-qbert board comes out).

I prefer to use the original hardware, but this is cost prohibitive for me as my Qbert cabinet was completely gutted and was converted to a Mania Challenge game when I bought it.

I would go with what is sold at JammaBoards.com

Groovy arcade is a good alternative paired with a JPac  I have this setup in a non destructive cocktail conversion. All hooked to a vertical G07 it's pretty amazing and I have every vertical 4way game with two buttons or less.. Over 100 games  not counting speed hacks and clones.

Kind of a poor mans arcade SD but in some ways it's better. The emulation is spot on and they all run at exact speed.

One other thing I'll say about ArcadeSD.  And if any other JAMMA cards do this, please chime in.  It allows for certain horizontal games to be played with a vertical monitor orientation.

This is not done through scaling, which would suck.  Instead, with games that could be made to fit without affecting play, excess space has been removed (slight cropping); score and lives-remaining displays have been moved; and/or other random screen elements have been moved.  The result is you get to play games like Missile Command, Zoo Keeper, and others on your vertical monitor.

Williams classics?  Wizard of Wor?  Nah, horizontal monitor only.  But Clay did what he could to fit whatever he could make work.

Check out the current list of vertical games and see for yourself.  Again, nothing was achieved through shrinking a game down and letterboxing.

I have the standard iCade 60in1 for a long time and still enjoy it. Its not 100% perfect, but honestly you don't even notice it for the most part. Its good enough to get my Galaxian fix!
