Anyone seen one of these in action?

Sounds interesting but I want to know more about how it works; including the use of the extra sound files MAME requires for some of these games (Invaders, DK Jr. etc.).  I emailed them and got a terse reply that all the information I needed was on the website.  Hmm... I'm having a hard time believing that a 5"x5" PCB could do the job of all these different boards and have acurate results.  It would make for a simple game cab for friends who aren't computer inclined.

sinistar, in joystick format.  blasphemy!

Is it me or does how a trackball get handled seem odd.

I wish they'd show screenshots of the menu.  There isn't that much info on the site.

My buddy just received the Multi-Williams board yesterday. Boy that board is small----only 4-1/2" square! Haven't tried it yet, but later today he's picking up a Williams cabinet.

Noticed that most of the chips on the board have all markings actually ground/sanded off so they can't be identified.
maxstang:
Very interesting.  Protecting their investment.  Seems to me they're skating pretty close to the edge legally by setting it up for specific roms.  Anyone know if the Williams board is a licensed product?
Ken Layton:
There are no markings on the Multi-Williams board except for the word JAMMA by the edge connector. All of the components (including chips) on this board are the latest surface mount.
