planning Donkey Kong bartop... need yer halp
stuckpixel:
The 60-in-1s use a VGA connector, so you really don't have a JAMMA compatable cab - unless the jamma board you are using happens to do video via VGA header as well (most don't).
Given the cost of the 60-in-1s, why wouldn't you just buy an mini-itx board and a hard drive? It'd be cheaper - and you'd have a significantly more flexible machine. I got my motherboard with an atom processor for less than 50 bucks, and HDs are dirt cheap these days.

A long time ago I got into the habit of highlighting and copying long posts, emails, etc...before clicking that send/post button. This way if you lose it you could just paste it back. It's pure habit for me now and I'm a lazy sob, if I type in just a few words I will copy it just in case.
highlight text> ctrl+c (copy) .... position cursur> ctrl+v (paste)
Good luck on the bartop machine!

Hmmmm, now you've got me thinking... if I can't even connect them to a cheap TV, what's the point... cheers for pointing that out to me.
