Title: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 13, 2014, 02:01:46 pm I've heard and read a lot about the sounds being distorted on the 60 in 1 boards. I found a video that I think describes exactly what I've been told. You can hear distortion on almost all games, most just a little though, but some like Gyruss, 1942... it's really pronounced.

The video was posted in 2011, maybe the sound issues have been fixed? idunno.

The sounds are way better: http://www.hollandcomputers.com/store/pc/Jamma-412-IN-1-PCB-Classic-Vertical-Arcade-Multigame-Game-Board-p8310.htm Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: lesoleil70 on March 13, 2014, 02:40:05 pm I had a new 60 in 1 one and moved it on after I got pacman and donkey kong out of my system. It's a good entry, but didn't keep my attention, i found I was not playing the machine.
Gyruss was very bad for sound, but playable. I now have that 412 in 1 Vertical (blue elf) as described by John, the only game listed that sucks on the board is Gorf. There may be others, but this was one I went straight to, and it's just all wrong. It's the same as the 138 in 1, you just swap the SD card. Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: STEVESPEEZE on March 13, 2014, 03:11:36 pm verify what the sounds sound like..
Ok some games work perfectly fine... like donkey kong and donkey jr.. you can just shut off the games that you don't like in the settings so they show up in the list. then some of the games like gyruss sound like a real low quality washed up version of the game sound .. like if its playing through a blown speaker. I have the 138 in 1... it has the same issues, plus a lot of bullshit bootleg games .. the 9 in 1 which they only put the games that work decent . and a 19 in 1 same thing .. Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 13, 2014, 03:22:52 pm Interesting...
I am worried that I'll get sick of it that's why I don't wanna be destructive with it's installation into my Ms Pacman Cab. I was hoping to use the Ms Pac Jamma adapter and use stock controls. I know many of the games won't be playable but all the ones that I want to play will so good enough. If in time I really like it the thought was to get a different control panel with a trackball and all the buttons. The game elf 412 states that it can use the standard cab power or an atx molex. As I want to plug this into my Ms Pacman cab without messing with anything, will a Ms Pacman Jamma adapter work you think with this? Not sure if those adapters have the power connections removed due to requirement of the ATX supply for the iCade 60 in 1's. Gotta say though the 412 has what appears to be a lot of bloat, also the adult games won't be any good with the kids in the house. The 60 in 1 had pretty much all that I wanted, but don't wanna waste money on bad sound.

Agree with what you say about the GYRUSS, even though I'm playing the shit out if it. Best sound I've heard on emulation is coinops. Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: UnwoundS3GA on March 13, 2014, 05:20:19 pm The sounds do get annoying sometimes... It almost completely ruins Gyruss on the 60 in 1.. :(
Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 13, 2014, 05:22:18 pm Ya, I'm sure compared to the loud stereo speakers of the Gyruss Upright they super suck.
Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: arcadefan1985 on March 13, 2014, 07:25:18 pm For the money the 60-1 is great.
Did I read it right? The 412-1 sometimes doesn't match game sounds to the right games and doesn't save high scores? If so that sucks!

I'm waiting for a 412 in 1 to arrive (mostly for Qbert), but hoping Gyruss and Time Pilot sound better.
Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 14, 2014, 10:46:17 am Please keep me in the loop on how your 412 in 1 sounds. I'd love to find a decent, working option. I read the high scores don't save on the 412, that's too bad. I guess cause there's too many games. The most highest score saves on the 60 in 1 correct?
Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: lesoleil70 on March 14, 2014, 04:01:05 pm for the money it's worth it - some games are flakey, but you get to discover new gems.
I discovered a sega game called Tac/Scan. Don't remember it in the UK arcades, but it's this and Juno First that keep me coming back to this unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCgCdu55YI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCgCdu55YI) Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 14, 2014, 09:23:58 pm Hey that is a cool looking game. Gonna have to mame that one.
Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 15, 2014, 11:47:41 am Tac/Scan is super fun wow, thanks for the heads up on that one. I have a feeling the 412 in 1 will be well worth the money as you said.
EDIT: Check that, Juno First has just beat out Tac Scan. It's got some Gyruss sounds and feel being Konami from the same time frame, love it! Title: Re: 60 in 1 Sounds Post by: jasonsmith on March 15, 2014, 12:02:40 pm Can you select favorites and have them move to the top of the menu or do you need to scroll through all the pages to get a specific game each time?
