Title: Using a Arcade PCB for a bartop
Post by: jmike on April 26, 2011, 08:17:42 am

Hi there,
      I recently purchased a Run and Gun 2 motherboard from another member and I'd love to build a bartop around it. My problem is I'm not really sure how to make it work. I've been searching/reading as much as I can and the only thing I was able to figure out was that I need a video converter if I want to use a LCD montor (found on Paradise arcade shop).
Can someone tell me what kind of power supply I need to make this run? I know I should have thought about this before the purchase but I used to love Run and Gun 2 growing up, and well since it's not working in Mame yet, this is the next best thing. Also need to figure how to hook up controls to it as well. :dizzy:

I saw the manual of Run and Gun 2 on Ebay but since I'm not using a arcade monitor, I'm not sure it would help much.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 :cheers:

Is that a JAMMA board?  You could buy a JAMMA harness on eBay or elsewhere and use that to connect your controls, video converter, and power supply.

You can buy a switching power supply (like one in a regular arcade cab) or you could probably use just a regular PC power supply.

Thanks HarumaN,
       I believe it is a Jamma board. Glad to know I could use a regular PC power supply, I think I can find everything at Paradise site. But i might be better to get the manual, I think I saw it on Ebay or something.

You don't need the manual.  Most likely you can find the manual in PDF format somewhere on the net.

 :hissy:  Too late. Bought it on Ebay yesterday. Luckily it was only $9 shipped. Also ordered the rest of the hardware from Paradise Arcade.
