PiPlay is based on a version of MAME from early 2001, with some later drivers backported. Basically, you're missing 14 years of MAMEdev's knowledge and experience making the games run, look, and sound as perfectly as possible with it. (Plus all the great save state support we've gained in the last ~6 releases or so).

For a lot of people, they don't care, the fact that the Pi is super-cheap overrides their brain in a similar fashion to slow-motion videos of Kate Upton jogging. For everyone else, you'll get the closest possible representation of the original game (coming in 2015: vectorized artwork) on a modern Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.
