Way back I purchased a 6-in-1 Jamma switcher for a good price.
One of the 6 slots was defective, but I knew that when I bought it.
I picked up a few various jamma boards that I could add to my Final Fight cabinet.
All used only two buttons and would be a great addition.
Honestly I could never get this thing to work. Some slots would work, some would not.
Some would play blind, others nothing. I tried a second power supply to power the jamma switcher alone, but that did not help.
In the end I decided to simply scrap the idea. So now I have a few extra boards and the hoarder in me wants to use them (even though I can play the games on my MAME cabinet).
I went onto eBay and I ordered two 2-in-1 jamma switchers. I got them for a really good price, perhaps too good as they never showed up and I got my money back.
So now I'm trying to think about what I should do. The 2-in-1 jamma switchers are quite costly, and I've given up on the 6-in-1. I thought about adding a second board to each of my jamma cabinets. Then the odd time I can simply reach in, move the harness over and play a different game. Easy enough, and no harm in doing so. I'm just wondering if I'll never ever switch em.
Does anyone do this ?
For what it's worth I want to add my 138-in-1 to my Popeye cabinet that already has a Pandora's Box 3. I think that will be cool. Then I thought about adding my WWF Wrestlefest to my Final Fight cabinet. Lastly toss my P.O.W board into my Bad Dudes. This way I'll make use of all my boards, which makes me happy....but again, I just wonder if I'll ever make the switch.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas ?
