This is the first 'Fair' rating that I have ever given. I had high hopes when I saw this component become available. I have many MAME ROMs and was really looking forward to setting up an 'old school' arcade to go with my flash arcade. Unfortunately, this component didn't live up to expectations. Not only did it not work with the mame games I had, it didn't work with other CottAGE emulated games that I tried. I'm not sure if it is a problem with Joolma 1.5 compatibility or not but I couldn't make it work.

The real issue was the support, however. There was none. The site has almost no documentation and what is there is really no help at all. Also, when I posted a question on the forum it was met with "games can be found on the internet".

To be fair, the game on the demo seemed to work fine, but it wasn't included in the install so I could verify it. It doesn't look like the developer is too interested in supporting the component.

What a shame.
