Title: Who uses a 2-way Jamma Switcher? Thoughts on your experience?
Post by: Well Fed Games on March 23, 2012, 12:52:24 pm

OK, I am new to the dedicated cab world and find myself with a decent cab and two Jamma PCBs I would like to use. Who here has a 2-in-1 switcher running in your cab- which one is it, and do you like it? Any benefits or pitfalls I should look out for if I decide to go for one?

I picked up this one a little while ago:
http://www.jammaboards.com/store/2-in-1-multijamma-switcher-pcb-gbs-8118-gbs-8118.html (http://www.jammaboards.com/store/2-in-1-multijamma-switcher-pcb-gbs-8118-gbs-8118.html)

I don't have much experience with the different brands (don't even know of many others), but this one works well for my needs.

My original plan was to have a mame-machine or console in my cabinet full-time, as well as have the ability to switch to an original board for those games that I own that aren't properly emulated (Golden Axe 2:RODA, Raiden II/DX, etc...). Though currently I haven't properly mounted everything, so I'm running two original boards in my cab right now only.

Cool, that is the one I was thinking of. Glad to hear there are no problems to report.

Exactly.  :cheers:

I use one of Clay's MultiJAMMA (http://www.multijamma.com/) systems. It rocks.
