turning a working NBA JAM cabinet into MAME
<< < (3/5) > >>
Ginsu Victim:
Basic rule number one:
If it's a working cabinet, keep it that way. If it's close to it, make it work. If there's nothing really left of the original, go ahead and MAME it.

An NBA Jam is a great cabinet for modding, but that's actually a fairly old game now. We have to preserve these games of the past, or else MAME will be the only existence of them.

Thanks for the tips.  I think I may pass on this and look for something a little more thrashed.

I was just thinking about keeping a budget and if i can get a cab with a working monitor for 350 that seems reasonable.


Ginsu Victim:
Do what you want. Just don't mention that it's working ;)

Search Ebay for used monitors; I got a great 19" CRT for only $20!  8)

The whole point of this thread was mainly to ask if the monitor (since it is working and has no burn in) could be used in a MAME system.  

The main point with me buying it with a working monitor was to be able to play it and enjoy it as an NBA JAM cabinet until I save up a little more dough and get through "Project Arcade" to finish the project.  This was just something that would drop me right into actually doing this versus putting it off.

I didn't mean to start a war or anything like that.
