| GameOver:
I'm trying to understand the whole JAMMA thing. I get the concept, but sounds like you can only run one game at a time? Is this correct? Each time you want to play another game, you need to switch 'PCB's & start over? What's the draw? Are these the legit arcade boards that are being used in these cabs or something? I don't get it... |
| Knievel:
JAMMA = Japanese Arcade Machine Manufacturers Association Yes the draw is that these are the actual boards originally used in a lot of popular arcade machines...the games are the real deal. |
| D_Zoot:
Yup, |
| tommy:
Jamma cabs and switching pcbs are for people who dont want to mame or dont know how to mame i guess you could even say there for beginners in arcading , i have pcbs and switch as i go , ive heard people on hear say preserve original cabs and art , but it seems nobody thinks of preserving or saving the real game boards |
