I will not alter the playability of Golden Tee.  I'm hoping to use a jamma switcher and have a push button to switch between golden tee and mame computer.  I think I may even build a separate control panel so I don't alter the Golden Tee cab at all.  It will take a lot of experimenting I'm sure, but I definitely won't alter the Golden Tee.

As far as having two cabs.....maybe you can convince my wife, but I sure as hell can't.


The d9200 should be good to go with an arcadevga video card, right?  I would just have to figure out how to mux between golden tee board and arcadevga output.

The link above is a mame control panel that someone made without altering the original arcade.  I'm not sure if this is completely relevant to what you are doing, because I don't think he has it set-up to switch back to the original on a button, but might be worth looking into.

LOL, I get you. Sounds like a neat project. I think you are planing to use dedicated controls for each Mame and golden tee and not sharing these controls? So the only thing you need to do is to have a switch to toggle inputs to the monitor? I know they make such a thing for computer monitors, maybe you could get that to work for you some how.

The only problem I can see is that the d9200 has a different video connector moved for changing from VGA to cga/ega. This is not the video input from the game board, but the connector from the small video/sync interface bd to the large deflection board. Since you don't want to run GT at low res, and switching from ega to VGA you move connectors. I would say to run Mame in ega, the same res as golden tee. Arcade VGA v.2 says it can run in ega. Look here in the FAQ:

These are just thoughts of mine, hopfully someone else will read this and see if I am on the right track. I have both golden tee complete and a Mame among others, but I have no wife yet
