With the rise of various emulation platforms and hardware options, can ARpiCADE truly claim to be the best choice for those seeking an authentic arcade experience? What unique features or advantages does it offer over its competitors that would make it a must-have for serious gamers?

Sorry for the slow reply, we've all moved over to arpicade.net - come join us there.

As to your question... as far as I'm aware there's not really a more customisable JAMMA board available and it keeps getting better as I've provided free updates for 11 years so far. RaspberryJAMMA + ARpiCADE was the first (and is probably still the best) solution intended for you to make whatever you wanted out of a JAMMA board. Over 11 years I've supported every major Pi release with software designed to be used in an arcade cab, from the original models with 26pin GPIO to the current RPi5 range.

Here's a review from 2018 (a bit out of date now but you should get some idea): https://idahogaragecade.com/2018/01/25/ ... made-easy/
