Can anyone help with the other questions? Especially what hardware is needed to run a cabinet with a PCB instead of a MAME PC? I would need a transformer to power it, is that all? |

It only has the MAME PC+circuit boards and wiring going with those. There's no original wiring harness, jamma harness, etc. From what I gather, I will need to get a wiring harness, a PCB which is compatible with that harness, and something to power them? I looked on ebay, there's a Ms.Pac harness for $75, a Pac & Ms.Pac normal and fast mode PCB for $300, at those prices it would cost like $450 for everything I'd need. That seems a bit crazy since I see working (although beat up) Ms.Pac cabinets for that or less. Is Jamma legal to run for profit? What's my best option here, assuming I wanted legal/licensed Pac + Ms.Pac at the mininum? |

JAMMA is just a wiring standard. If you want a 100% legal to run arcade game to make a profit that has Pacman and Ms.Pacman you would have to get a reunion PCB ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/200949663933 ) and a jamma wire loom. The reunion PCB doesn't have VGA out so you'd also have to run the video to an actual arcade monitor, or use some sort of video converter ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/261488206674 ) . You'd also neeed a switching power supply and a 4 way stick. It sounds like a ton of work to modify the cab you sold him, I'd advocate him just buying another cab. |

It is an actual arcade monitor, it's a Happ controls model. I forget the model, but I could check if needed. I think it should take the outputs from a genuine PCB. Would this PCB be profit-legal? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Midway-PAC-MAN-MS-PAC-MAN-Board-PCB-TESTED-WORKING-4-in-1-Board-/181423007196?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a3da765dc |
