What are the dimensions of the bigger JAMMA boards? I am thinking of building a "table top", (don't have a bar) JAMMA cab and was wondering how much space I need to leave for the board. I wanted to go as small as possible. I was thinking one joystick, 3 buttons, and a 13-15" LCD. Would 12" x 20" be big enough? |

im 99% sure jamma only coverd input/output controls and voltage. i do not believe it had any provisions for board dimensions. |

I was just wondering what the biggest boards are that you know of. The only one I have is Raiden and it's about 11.5x15. How does that compare to other JAMMA boards? What would be the size of an MK board for instance? |

Some JAMMA games were larger (up to about 12x16") but some also used additional harnesses and 'daughter boards' ie. Street Fighter had a kick harness and some CPS systems were encased in their own 'shell', whilst Midway boards like the MK and NBA Jam series' had secondary daughter boards and games like Killer Instinct had a hard drive too. Also worth mentioning - many of these xxx-in-1 boards are custom PC boards with JAMMA edge connectors, sometimes with an identical-sized secondary board attached via PCB riser feet. There were also some clone boards (I had a clone Golden Axe for example) that used twin boards like this so the bootleggers could replicate the game using a simpler track pattern and generic programmable chips. |
