Hello, i have found a nice q sound marvel vs capcom cabinet. only thing is it has an 18-1 CPS 2 board in it,. Whats the deal with this board is it good, terrible. Should i j ust get a dedicated board for one game. i was always uneasy about these multi boards.
Thanks alot
 
I'd probably go for it. There's a lot of "mame on a chip" multis out there which are not the best functioning things in the world, the CPS2 multi is actually running on cps2 hardware and everything I've heard about them has been good. Hopefully Nixs or one of the other folks who sells them can chime in, take a look at the multi board for sale threads, there should be some feedback on them.
 
I have one of those 18 in 1 boards and it I love it. If you'd rather get a dedicated CPS2 boardset you can always sell the 18 in 1. Most of the CPS2 games cost less than the 18 in 1 anyway.

No I would not buy one of those as quality varies from hack to hack. I collect and repair arcade hardware and especially cps2. My buddies who are impressed with my cps2 collection but didn't want to go the route i did and buy the individual board went the multi 18 in 1 hack route and have all had nothing but constant electrical and software problems. They constantly will dropped these board at my place when they flake out due to no fault of their for me to fix the hardware as there is nothing I can do about the software which randomly crashes doing game play.

For the last time stop saying it is running on the real hardware. Yes its using the real A and B board but they are hacked to do something they were not designed to do. These things are not built to freakin bank switch hacked software, its a cps2 board not a neo geo multi slot

if you want to buy boots just buy a jamma mame pc which is more reliable
