There's nothing like the real thing baby! MAME is just a way to get there quickly, albeit with mostly subpar controls simply due to the vast range the cabinets themselves represented. With the MiSTerCade, these classics should hold up quite some time, well unless FPGA core development suddenly tanks. I think it's awesome to see these collections being maintained, and boy does it take me back. There was no feeling like the one you got being in the arcade!
