Title: MAME vs 60 in 1 Post by: scatman on April 20, 2016, 04:12:40 pm HI all,
I know nothing compares to the actual real arcade game. Needless to say, I don't have room, nor can I afford 200 machines. So considering building a multi-machine to accomodate this. I have never played on a 60 in 1 type machine, however I do use MAME which has its advantage of more game choices. So now my question; Which would you consider better at getting closest to the real thing in terms of emulating? Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Title: Re: MAME vs 60 in 1 Post by: John's Arcade on April 20, 2016, 06:11:01 pm MAME is gonna be better. The 60 in 1 is a flavor of old MAME. The 60 in 1 is great because it's stupid easy if you have a JAMMA harness to plug into.

Thanks for the heads-up... Title: Re: MAME vs 60 in 1 Post by: smonroe on April 21, 2016, 05:15:40 pm If you're talking a 60 in 1, get an ArcadeSD card. Moat accurate multiJAMMA card out there.

I was going to say Arcade SD. Plays more games and won't break like that cheap Chinese junk that is most 60-1 boardsSent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Title: Re: MAME vs 60 in 1 Post by: Furniture_Nerd on May 05, 2016, 11:34:35 pm I've had a 60-in-1 in my space invaders homage cabinet for a couple of years, and the only thing it won't do is save high scores. Other than that it's actually been quite reliable and fun. I have been fairly impressed with the Pandora's Box 3 that I have, but it's better for the more modern games like Metal Slug and the Capcom fighting games. It's not so great with the emulation of the classics. I think the 60-in-1 is better for the classics.
To each his own though. I also have a mame cabinet running on a Mac mini and setup for 4 players. The front end isn't the best for macs though, so maybe that's why I don't like it as well as the multigame jamma pcb's.

I'm always tweeking it, adding games and customizing the front end.
I'd recommend a MAME cabinet but don't think it's going to be ready in a weekend.

Mame is more complex ever evolving and overall a great way to try out thousands of games you have never heard of. it just depends on what you are trying to play. :)
