| 48-1 & 60-1 Jamma Board Swap |
| (1/1) |
| kansastj:
I'm new to arcade machines, but I have good carpentry and electrical skills. I just purchased a Sunset Riders, Jamma machine w/ a 16" horizontally mounted monitor. Everything works but cabinet is worn and rough. After opening up the machine and inspecting its internals, quite simple. I really want a galaga machine, but due to popularity, very expensive. I noticed both the 48-1 & 60-1 boards have galaga. I have found plans for the original galaga cabinet on the net. Questions? 1. Will the board simply plug into my Jamma harness w/ no modifications? 2. Can simply keep all wiring hooked up the way it currently is and transplant the monitor, wiring, controls, ect., into a new (galage style cabinet) and mount the monitor vertical w/ out any color issues? I know when you rotate a TV or Computer monitor, colors change. 3. Can I set these boards to load galaga only on every start up and avoid having to choose a game on every start up / or every credit? Thanks for your responce. I know if would be simpler to buy a vertical monitor Jamma cabinet, but I live in a rural area, could be a long time looking for one. Pros? Cons? Suggestions? Sorry for nub question. |

Welcome. 1: Yes. But be sure to add a Test and Service button to your loom. 2: Yes. 3: No. You can disable all the others so Galaga only shows and set it to Free Play. Pros: 60 games without stuffing around. Plug and Play. VGA support so you could even ditch that old tube/monitor chassis and install an LCD or PC CRT. Cons: Sound faults on a handful of games. Good luck |

Oh, and don't forget to add a trackball if you choose the 60-1. |

You are probably right on that one Frizzle. |
