MMr for me.
1) it’s new!
2) the higher resolution dmd/lcd is way better than the colorDMD version on the original
3) they play identical
4) MMr has an integrated shaker which I personally love
5) out of the box the speakers do suck on MMr, but that’s an easy fix
Unless your an operator with a bunch of spare parts and want to keep it the same board set as your other games, go with new.
Quoted from vid1900:That's funny.
Have you seen how many issues the MMr home users have had already?
In 5 years where will you get a new MPU board if CGC goes under?
Would no replacement boards being available be considered an issue?
-
I mean, I hope the CGC stays in business forever, but much larger, better capitalized companies have gone bankrupt or live on in name only .
MontgomeryWards, Compaq, Wang, Kodak, Schwinn, CircuitCity, Bridgeport, Craftsman....
Pinheads are a smart bunch. In the case we need replacement boards at some point, someone will come up with them (and before you bring it up, p2k is a different beast with it’s own issues).
Quoted from srmonte:The hobby is resourceful enough that if cgc went under we would still get boards.
Beat me to it.
Quoted from vid1900:How are you going to crack those chips?
The days of simple EPROMs are long gone.
Chips for the last few decades are fused, once the data is written, the fuse is **burnt** and now the data can not be read back.
If you could simply get the data off those PIC chips (and PIC chips are really low end devices), then every servo motor controller would be compromised.
If anyone was able to hack a modern day PIC, then no one would pay $418 to upgrade their MMr display, they would just copy the chip and pass it on to everyone.
Obviously, that can't be done......
The chip is a different question. How many of these or similar chips have ever gone bad? Any? The Capcom problem was just simply they didn’t have the chips to begin with to make the BBBr...that’s why the production was limited to what it was. These chips are pretty solid and not worth worrying about in our lifetime. Are the BBBr (or any Capcom game owners) worries out their PIC chips? Nope.
The results of this thread: get either model and you’ll be really happy! It’s one of the best games ever made (new or old)!
Quoted from Budman:I currently own an AFMLE and thinking about buying an MMr this year. However after playing MM for the first time today, I was really underwhemed. I need to play the remake before rendering a final verdict.
It’s the same game...if you didn’t like it you won’t like an MMr (unless the example you played was in poor shape).
