Blue Elf jamma arcade review

Weighing the pros and cons of this little 309-in-1 jamma arcade board.
Overall, the board is just not that great. The entire time you play it, you'll just wish you were playing the real games. Save your money and buy a better system.

I was originally going to mod an XBOX with arcade roms and run a tv in it, but had trouble hotwiring the simple XBOX controllers. So then, I ordered this and a RGB to TV converter. Bad move. The board will not convert to TV signal. Which then meant that I had to buy a 25" arcade monitor for this board to work. Then, once I had the monitor in, I realized the board just basically fell short. This cab turned into the money pit, and was eventually sold off at cost on Craigslist.

I would suggest the Gamebox 450-in-1 or just run MAME for this many titles. The hardware on this board was just not strong enough to handle the job.

also you miught be able to add 1 credit just to reset that annying fng timer which i have on my pcb. i also press 1ply and the credit button together while in a gme to get back to the menu, might be the same for yours, im sure these come from a small group of devs in china. it would be nice if someone who works on these can chime in with any info and hopefuylly upgrade the pcb/carts in the future

I have the happy fish 2 (pcb) which seems a lot better then the blueelf series imo although it does have sound issues on some games, it's a case of you get what you pay for i guess.
