Multi-Williams from scratch?

<< < (2/2)

I have the Jamma one (which is better than the one one real hardware actually), in a Defender cabinet and it is awesome. I spent about $400 total on it (bought the JAMMA WM board, repro bezel, new panel, and original marquee used for $300, spent $50 ish on the Jamma harness and power supply, and the cab was free and I am valuing the monitor at $50, since I can't remember where it came from).

DaveStall:
Thanks for the replies.  The JAMMA kit is something that I hadn't really put much thought into honestly, but I will certainly consider that as an option.  The only reason I hadn't wanted to go with a emulated solution is because I have seen how MAME emulates Robotron, and it simply isn't the same.  Although I wouldn't be playing Robotron on this machine, I do want the "real thing" when it comes to the other games.  With the JAMMA kit, how does one go about loading the ROM images to the board?  I think with the Clay Cowgill kit you need to burn the ROM images yourself (or in my case pay someone to burn the images that I would supply as I don't own an EEPROM burner).

Thanks,

Dave

The Jamma kit is a plug and play board, you don't have to load anything, it is already preloaded.

I made mine from scratch. Total cost was about $750-$800
