Have you seen this? 300 in 1 Jamma PCB?!

<< < (2/5) > >>

Harry Potter:
Sounds dodgy.

Is it actual 300 games or just 30 games with 10 clones each?

Thenasty:
I don't feel to confident about Items not described corredtly. They should explain what software its using. For all I know, its running MAME and they made thier own AVGA card, or maybe they burned MAME into a chip (FGPA maybe) along with FREEDOS etc...
If this is the case, I already have it :).

fredster:
Here's a message from the people that sell it:

Thank you for the email, we had raised up the prices of multi game boards
from December 1,
the new pricing as follows:

  4 in 1  - USD230 each
  9 in 1  - USD330 each
 39 in 1 - USD530 each
300 in1 - USD380 each

Now here's a message I got from my man that sells the 4 in 1's and such:

I heard that they are junky.  Just a PC motherboard with JAMMA interface and running MAME.  It takes 30 seconds or more to load each game.  Cheesy.
 
So yep, they are making a PC that has a hard drive and a Jamma interface.  True PC to Jamma at almost the limit of perfection.

ArcadeOS and Mame will run fine without an AVGA card.  I'd bet that it's just a micro-atx motherboard with onboard ATI or Trident video. The red board you see here probably acts just like a J-Pac (takes the video, sound, keybaord controls, power, and routes it all into a Jamma connector).

fredster:
I don't think it's a hack. These guys just redesigned all of the components probably by reverse engineering. Sneekly.

These games have been around for a few months apparently. That's why we've seen them at arcade auctions.

I've bought several of these 4 in 1 boards, and a 9 in 1 board in the US and converted games over, stupid games like Birdie King or Caterpillar. All you need is a joystick and one button (I put two, one on each side of the joy) and sold them.

This one would require the entire Jamma harness.  But see the instructions? You have to select the game with a "select" button, then you have to wait till it boots.  The other 4 in 1's just go to the game, they got lazy with this one. The just did what JoyMonkey describes.

Apparently Mexico and Taiwan are ahead of the curve in hacking mame.

Anybody want to sue them?  :police:
