Exactly my point from the very beginning.
That thing is a monster:
- 5x 16 MHz DSP (400 MIPS)
- 16 MHz Nec V60
- 36 MHz rasterizer
- 12 MHz 68000 (Audio)
- 3x 4 MHz Z80
For whatever inexplicable reason, people don't make these outrageous claims when comparing games between classic home systems.
But when it comes to Arcades, somehow, people keep ignoring the inherently brutal - asphalt tearing - specs of those machines.
I had a 1.79 MHz Atari 800 in 1992, when this board was released
Even 2 years later, I only had a 40 MHz 386DX, which is still ridiculous compared to the monster above.
But 68030 ?
It's like asking if you can tweak injectors in Skoda Fabia 1.9 SDI (47 kW) so it could come REAL close to Lamborghini 640LP
