> P.S.: Is that really true? "Street Fighter" from 1987 has two sound channels? "Final > Fight" and "Street Fighter II" have only one, but "Street Fighter I" is in stereo???
The same game can often be both: the JAMMA standard specifies mono and games can be set to mono to work with that for conversions, but in dedicated cabinets they usually had stereo (especially Capcom QSound games, plus most Sega and Taito games).
In this case, SF1 predates the wide adoption of JAMMA and so anything went.
I gather you're hoping that we'll talk you into cheaping out on the sound for a cabinet build - it's not worth it, and it'll be even less worth it when MAME gains 5.1 output.
