Why JAMMA?

Pages: (1/10) > >>

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
