The problem is the controls. I didn’t realize how much of a problem this is until I started playing some multicades.

To do it right you need a machine with a four way stick, an 8 way stick, a track ball, and a spinner, and of course a bunch of buttons. And it’ll still never work right for some of the best games (spy hunter, pole position, Star Wars, etc.)

They are kinda neat but in my experience just don’t do a great job of their intended purpose.

Quoted from Malenko:

When you start getting into the thousands of games on 1 machine you are 100% right. There's also the issue of horizontal and vertical games; games get squished or stretched or have black bars on the sides. My Multi NeoGeo only plays neogeo games, so the controls are perfect for it. Same for the MultiCPS2. I thought about building a dedicated 1 player cab with a 4 way stick and a spinner that would play only vertical 4 way games and Arkanoid. I know Im weird, I really like arkanoid.

Even with your average 60-1 it’s a huge problem.

I tried my best to play 1942, xevious and gunsmoke with a track ball but it just didn’t work.
