I've located a 60 in 1 machine and it seems reasonably priced. Original cabinet and controls. What do you all think of these 60 in 1 boards? I don't have much to compare it to.
, but I will of course try it out before buying.

I have a full home arcade and really like the 60-1 machine I have. The video is really good, game play is awesome and you can manipulate the virtual dip switch settings. The down side is the sound for these boards always sounds a a little scratchy.

If you are looking to play something very close to the real games the 60-1s are ok. If you are looking for that feeling you had playing Donkey Kong in an arcade all those years ago you will be very disappointed.

100% agree. I got a 60-1 mainly to play DK but liked having the other classics as an option. After a few months of play, I decided I needed a dedicated DK. The 60-1 still gets plenty of play...just not for DK.
Of the games I regularly play, I only notice sound problems in Bombjack and Gyruss. The 19XX games and Gunsmoke also seem to have audio issues but they rarely get played.

I'm getting it to practice Dk...so it needs to be very close to the original.

What's wrong with DK on the 60 in 1's?
-
Do these 60-in-1 thingies not have 8-way joysticks in them?
(Thus making it pretty much impossible to play DK, any of the Pac games, D*g D*g, or indeed most of the classic titles on them)

That makes sense but that's down to the joystick, not the board itself. It sounded like there was a problem with the emulation or game code.

It is believed that 60-1 are nothing more then mame version 36. point something. as for joystick what talking about ? i can say i figured out how there doing there coin management. what ever games that are pick in setting`s will lunch. then (they have work the out boot time of each game to be in credit mode)
One by one each game loaded`s in to mame and then is put in to pause mode.
the game select front end comes up (with abonoteichus music) you pick the game it un-pause`s and appears on screen. All other mame`s are still running in back ground game`s pause to save system resources witch believed to be 200 cpu. When your game end`s I think the front end program looks for screen shot of game in mode that only in demo mode. 60-in-1 i find the DK easier then the pcb or newer version of mame. :)

What talking about is, the OP said:

I just pointed out the controls will be fucked for DK is all.
Obviously I know bugger-all about what's inside the thing.
-
i have the 60-1 in a Ms Pacman cab , the ms pacman stick works ok :)
-
I have a 60-in-1 and I'm OK with it. As someone else mentioned, the sound can be "scratchy" at times especially in Scramble and it's really bad in LadyBug.
-
I have a wico leaf joystick in mine. Works fine.
-
I think Spaceman is simply referring to the fact that the sticks are 8 way, rather than 4 way, which may make it more difficult to play 4-way games. It's doable, but you may sometimes have trouble moving if you are slightly into the diagonal rather than straight up/down/side. Same issue can happen with x arcade set ups or other. You can probably get used to it, or maybe add a restrictor plate if it's still an issue.
-
I thought 8-ways give more of an advantage with DK hence the TG/DKF restrictor plate requirement...and various discussion threads such as this https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=576.0 (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=576.0)

I have one, and with some adapters, I got it going in my DK. I'm working on creating a PC-based HyperSpin setup in there with a custom built CP (Robotron is calling to me) and I'll be retiring this sucka once and for all.
The emulation is bad, the game selection is questionable (a third of these "classics" are junk that would be at home in a Crap tourney), and the menus/music are pretty wretched. It more or less gets the job done though if you want all of your Pacs and Kongs and Dos in one place.
The thing that amazes me about these boards is that such a weak product has such a deathgrip on the market. How can it be that, in the years since these have been released and been so successful, nobody, across that big length of time, <Walter> has ever made a superior product at around the same price, when the bar set by these boards is so low? Something with more/better games, a snazzier, more HyperSpin-like menu, and a core based on a MAME version that isn't a decade and a half old. I guess everyone stateside is afraid of being sued, but c'mon China, go for it.

MAME has now gone fully Free and Open Source, it'll only be a matter of time before new *legal* MAME-based products start entering the market.

True, MAME is now open source, but the games themselves are still anything but. Kappa

Wow! That's more like it.
Crazy Kong, Gorf, Sinistar, Karate Champ, Satan's Hollow, now we're talking! 8) Anteater hype.

The quality control is all over the place on these bootleg boad,s and i've personally played 60 in ones that have had horrible lag. I can only vouch for the arcadeshop boards (that use MENUSYS) as i've played them on location and they are flawless. not sure if you can still get them, though.
-
I have a cabinet with a 412 in 1 in it. The main classics to me play fine dk, pacs, galaga, burger time, and such. The later games with better graphics are the ones with sound and lag problems. Out of 412 i would say 200 of them are acceptable emulations. I have no problems with dk on it imo. The menu music is completely nauseating but you can turn it off.
-
I recently upgraded to 412-in-1. I was pumped to be able to play Krull, but when I got to the second screen the fire button didn't work. Anyone else confirm? All other games I played worked fine although I haven't played all 412 games.

Krull has a dual joystick control panel: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8358 (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8358)
A single fire button won't cut it. :(

OK thanks.

Yes you will need 2 joysticks to play krull also you need 2 for karate champ i believe as well.

I can confirm Karate Champ.
I played Krull at Funspot a few years ago but no I don't recall it having two joysticks. The game got played on Starcade a lot but they never really did closeups of the control panel. But here's visual evidence:
