Quoted from jkleinnd:I have a repurposed Zaxxon cab with a rotatable CRT monitor and various swappable control panels (one devoted to Defender alone) to match my favorite JAMMA and non-JAMMA boards. The only games I'm missing out on are the Vectors. This is as close to original as I get without leasing a warehouse.
You mentioned defender. Defender is a great example of the problems with emulation. Defender plays terribly on any of the multi game boards. The 19-1 or 512 in 1 are horribly inaccurate. The only jamma board that plays defender accurately is Jroks multi Williams. Jrok is not emulation but actual hardware running the proper code.
