Yeah, I figured as much. It doesn't seem like anyone is interested in producing anything new from these. Just the same thing re-hashed every year with a couple of different games.

I spotted that  Gameboxes 450 in 1 are all upgraded to 700 in 1 in the 2012 version , not sure if it had an hardware upgrade or just more games dumped on them .

Shocking, I don't really understand how such a shoddy product can be put out. You can run most of this stuff with a p4 and a 20 quid graphics card!

It's a pain. Games like 1944, punisher and warriors of fate run really well and It is hard to tell the difference. Final fight runs 95% sound, speed etc. I really don't think 99% of people would know but when you have access to 100+ jamma pcbs and mame, you can tell. I will make a video at some point and then remove the shite and keep 15-20 games that are near perfect.

You can plug the board into your computer and access the roms folder. I have tried to add roms but it didn't recognise any of them. I have spoke to some suppliers and you can only add there roms (because they probably alter them).

The no 'Free Play' is a pain in the stones

Definately something fishy about that one
