wiring multiple pcbs in one cab questions

[Thraxster]

I was wondering if I'm able to wire to my cp, monitor, speakers, an ipac 4 along with possibly a soul calibur 2 and maybe another pcb or two. I would guess id need to wire it into a kdm. I plan on getting an old crt or and lcd or led lcd tv for a monitor. I haven't gotten any of the electronic components yet so I won't have things I cant use.

Either I do that or I will eventually need help getting soul calibur 2 working on mame.

Thanks for any and all shots at helping me out

If you're gonna mix mame and Jamma boards, you would need to check out a jpac from Ultimarc and use a multi jamma board adapter like they sell at jammaboards.com

I don't own one myself but have been waffling on getting a jamma switcher (prob. 2 way), and I do know that sometimes different boards need monitor adjustments when you switch from one to another (brightness, width, whatever), just something to keep in mind. In my case both boards are from the same manufacturer, so it would probably be alright. Just trying to justify the cost to not have to reach inside my cab to switch.

I'd be convinced that saving on the wear and tear of swapping boards would be the best reason. Let the switch be the switch instead of wearing your boards down.

Mind you I've done zero jamma research but when I see images of them for sale here and there I think about wearing my old NES carts down to nothing. It could be different IDK yet. I'm inspired to look into jamma more.

I'd really just like to have, when all is said and done, a MAME cab with honest to god Soul Calibur 2 and Area 51 Site 4, maybe gauntlet legends shoved in there and if I'm lucky on a switch to choose before turning the cabinet on. Choosing which power supply gets turned on i guess. That said I'll look into jamma stuff finally see what I can do. I could handle running 3 sets of wires. I've thought about making a CP for each and put all the hardware i could inside of that then swapping CPs around. That's just no good, too slow to change things too much work, someone else wouldn't be able to do it. which might be a plus in itself, hmm.

Looked into jamma. looks like it would be good to have as backup or alternative or just anyway.

Jamma is just the wiring standard used on most game boards from mid 80s to now. So you can take one board and pop it in another cabinets harness.
The switcher allows you to have multiple boards with one power supply and using a remote, it will switch from game to game
