The DECO cabs ran cassette tapes, like you mentioned, and I do think it was as simple as swapping out the cassette, tho I could certainly be wrong.
Obviously, marquees and stuff, but those wouldn't affect playability.
Is a system I'd actually like to know more about-due to the nature of the controls on different games, I'd assume there were different control panel configurations/types available, but again, I really don't know.
Right as I got into this whole mess, I saw a DECO cab for sale somewhere on the net, talked with the guy, had a multicassette system of some kind, I think he wanted less than a grand for it, but it was a good distance from me.
Have looked relatively recently, but couldn't find the old ad anywhere.

... but my point is if using a pirate methodology to play a game is good for one arcade system, it should be good for any (just like it is generally accepted for computers & consoles).
You verbalized this much more effectively than I did, again me professing relative ignorance, that is almost certainly where my opinion was borne.Quote:

also do these others even heve a big enough Market that flash cards even exist for them ?
cause as much as I love every relevant detail no matter how small I’m not sure if this helps figure out the right decision or if it’s a tangent
I just want to make sure that any progress forward is not artificially hampered (looking for ways to avoid repeating this circumstance).Quote:

But this is an Arcade track, where a NEO GEO - MULTI MVS was used, which is considered bootleg (as it's not the real Shocktroopers MVS cartridge) that's why I think it's not a valid Arcade performance.
It's a little hard to explain, as English is not my first language.
