They have custom boards?
I thought they emulated nowadays
Yeah. You're both right.
The board is a usually a cheap single board computer (usually running Android, and an emulator or two).
The board is custom to the extent that the operating system has been optimized to know that it's running inside an arcade cabinet.
I guess what I meant a bit more specifically are things like buttons, the screen, cables, any daughter boards needed for like special lights, speakers etc. stuff beyond, as you mentioned.
