Hello, again.
I'm now in the process of adapting my Android MAME build "Crazy Tilt Arcade Challenge" for use in arcade cabinets. As always, I'm looking for experienced arcade gamers to provide their valuable feedback. Anyone willing to do more and invest say a few hours per day to help me test can get their name in the splash screen credits, next to mine and that of MAME developers, if you'd like that.
Download on Google Play (Android Market):

I made first tests myself with Samsung Galaxy S and its analog video-out via '3.5mm jack to RCA' connection, YouTube video:

I will also test it with two tablets via their HDMI video-out ports, but they came without the cable so that has to wait until the next time. And for the next time I will also make it complete, that is connect this to CRT and actual arcade controls inside one of my cabinets.
In the meantime, I'd like to hear what you think. I am doing this to replace 60-in-1 PCB that runs in that small arcade cabinet next to my LCD-TV you can see in the video. I also think there are many reasons why anyone here would consider to do the same, so if you have nothing better to do, let's talk about it...
PROS:
- more games, better sound, you can take it out of the cabinet and play it while sitting on toilet or wherever on the go, it has on-line world wide scoreboard for all, it is (soon will be) as simple to use as 60-in-1.
CONS:
- no analog RGB video as android devices use only composite RCA (via 3.5 audio jack) or digital HDMI, however this is also advantage from another point of view - considering you can find normal CRT-TVs much cheaper and easier than arcade monitor, or if you already switched to LCD in which case HDMI is perfect fit for you.
What do you think, any other pros or cons?
