I'm new to this forum and am just getting into collecting various arcade boards(I will build a cocktail cabinet once I get a board), and I figured I'd start with something simple and go for a 60-in-1 board because I can easily use a PC power supply to power the board and hook up a VGA monitor without the hassle of finding/building and using a 15KHz RGB to VGA converter(I've got a brand new ViewSonic 17" CRT monitor just begging to be used somewhere) on top of being readily available(there's an arcade shop in my area selling various arcade parts, cabinets and boards). Now, I've been doing a lot of research on this board and have noticed just how nasty some games can sound on this board and have discovered several sound inaccuracies(some slight flaws in Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian is missing the shot sound and the sound pitch is considerably lower, 1942's "music" has the square waves dragging on for a little too long) and a graphical error in Arkanoid(no shadows on the Vaus and ball). I've also found several different board revisions of the 60-in-1 and today, I've come across the new reduced-size revision. My question is: has the heavily distorted sound of older 60-in-1 boards been fixed? Would it be worth it to go for the newer board or would I be fine with the older board as well?
The games I'm most interested in are 1942, 1943, 1943 Kai, Time Pilot, Gyruss(distortion seems to vary from board to board from what I've seen, and can sometimes be tolerable or ear-shattering) and Arkanoid. If it's at all possible, provide an audio recording taken from the 3.5mm audio plug.
Just in case your wondering, I'm gonna go for a 2-player setup with 3 buttons per player(I'll be purchasing some arcade boards which require 3 buttons later on) and a trackball for games with trackball support on the 60-in-1.
