TurboC--:

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?

is the cab wired for JAMMA?

TurboC--:

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?

Malenko:

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.

TurboC--:

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?
