jamma xx in 1 boards
gazz292:
oh i will be doing a proper mame set up, but cant afford the pc bits for a while, so thought whilst i make the cp's i'd stick a multi game jamma board in there to use the cab, but the games on the jamma boards i want to play the most are vertical.
with they did a square monitor that could then display horizontal and vertical easily with borders to fill in the edges.
Turnarcades:
Considering you can pick up a perfect MAME PC now for well under a ton and you are interested in vertical games that don't need much processing power, it's not going to be cheaper for a multi-game JAMMA board.

You could also do a multi-williams or one of those blue elf boards for horizontal games.
gazz292:
well, not totaly interested in vertical games, i like horizontal ones too, just that i wanted to get a pretty decent pc in it, so would by bits and pieces, one week the mobo, few weeks later cpu and so on,
just want to be able to use the cab before i mame it totally.
been offered a loan of a 48 in 1 jamma board tho, so i am hopefully sorted,
need to see if you can get square monitors now or i'll be making a rotating monitor cab, annoying as i dumped a square screened 25 inch TV a couple of years ago that would have been perfect, used to play mame on it in me bedroom, but got rid when i got a lcd wide screen, bloomin progress.
