Best jamma xxx in 1

[ZuPoint]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't search for xxx? ( wife checks my history

When I locate a jamma to mvs adaptor I'm going to get a xxx in 1 pcb.
I'm after the normal games, bubble bobble, golden axe, final fight.tmnt etc.

What have you got ?
Any pitfalls?

I've seen a 512 and 412 in 1 in the for sale section, any good? In more better?
Cheers
Carl

I remember doing a good sized thread on this over the road, price wise your best bang for your buck will be the two you listed to be honest. Don't expect 512 perfect games though as some run like a bag of shyte

Cheers for that, just looked at the other side.

400 in 1 sounds good.

What's the xxx in 1 with sd cards?

( are the games roms on the cards?)
So the pcb is just a OS with mame-ish?

The best is a PC with a 15khz vid card, the bigger Xxxin1's are just Pentium 4 pc's normally running Chinese windows that take an aeon to boot up! and will cost you several times the value of doing a P4 PC yourself.

I know the mame PC is the way to go, but for £100 ( board and adaptor ) plug and play in same cab ( wife will only let me have one cab in house)
I'm not going for 1000's in 1, keeping it simple.

Everyone that buys these inevitably ends up asking how they can be modified and upon finding they can't, selling.

The best multi game board by far is theClayCowgill ArcadeSD board, but by the sounds of the games you are looking for, that won't be suitable. The others, well they arent perfect, I seem to be amassing a collection as each one annoys me enough to want to try another. I have just ordered the 512 in 1 Horizontal Game Elf board, so I will see how that one plays when it arrives, hopefully today.

the 512 board plays well, no the games are not exactly like the real thing but for 512 games on one board its not bad, the only bogey I think is the volume control is tiny and very hard to turn up,
and its so touchy, you've only got to turn it up a midge and it goes very loud, but putting a pot inline with the speaker and putting it somewhere convenient is a good way of getting round it

I have a 412-in-1 Game Elf board in a bartop. I love the form factor of the unit, but the volume control is very fiddly as mentioned above, and a lot of the games, especially the vertical shooters, are very jerky to play. Some of the games play really well (Time Pilot, Commando, Donkey Kong, Jumping Jack) but I'd say 90% of them suffer in comparison to my mid-spec laptop running MAME. It's excellent value for what it is, and the novelty of having all those games in such a cool, compact unit never wears off, but I too am looking to 'upgrade' in the future.

One final note: I recognised about 150 of the games on the board when I got it; the rest are obscure games / bootlegs / hacks.
