    Mame is about accuracy though, computational accuracy. Compared to another emulator who can implement little hacks, tricks, & code to get something running right, Mame is limited. It's not normally an issue though, you see it on modern era stuff only.

    Think I've decided to build a little emulation 'jukebox', using a Pi3. I Have it all set up on the bartop, and that's fine for arcade stuff, for console though it's just better with a controller on the tv (that said, console stuff an a proper arcade monitor is a different thing altogether, it's glorious!)

    Exactly :D

    I'm actually considering moving it on, & replacing it another one based on a Pi3 just for Arcade stuff.

    My FC30 pro broke 3 days in new record, who ever said the build quality was good was on crack....

    The big right r1 trigger died, should be able to work round one less button but, 3 days and a trigger goes...

    Opened it to see what was up, there was a light sticker on it with part of an old stick still there under it, so I'm thinking they sent me a donkey, the button on the board was bent back and was falling off, no solder so, since I know for a fact that the sell sold me an opened one that was a crap refurbish I just super glued it. And that fail, as the button fell off....not happy was a bday gift...stupid Amazon....

    If its bad build quality and its broken with no solder its their fault.
    Worth a try, i wouldnt have opened it if it was new.

    Yah, well I got it new off Amazon, thought that a spring was loose, so I went for it.

    Was the wrong call but awell.
