I have a Golden Tee Fore cabinet that I've converted into a MAME cab. I recently finished acquiring all of the parts (board, drive, power supply, etc) for Golden TEE Complete. I'd really like to find a way to host both in the same cab, with an option to "switch" video /Audio/Control between the two via a switch or button press.
The GTFore board is Jamma+ I believe, and I'm using an IPAC + Optipac for controls in the cabinet. The display is a 27" CRT TV with Component, SVideo, and Composite.
Any ideas?

This is something I've been working on for the last couple of weeks.
I Got a New Astro Cab that has been running MAME (via ArcadeVGA/JPAC). I recently acquired a Naomi 2 setup for more modern games. I decided to get both of them installed at the same time, and use 2 switchers to select what system should run (DB25 2-way switch for controls, and DB15 2-way switch for video)
I purchased harness and finger board from JAMMA boards, and wired it all up. For the most part it works GREAT! I can now select what system I want to control/display, and I managed to actually get a full MAME setup + Naomi 2 setup (2 power supplies, and all!) inside a NAC!
To accomplish this I made the following adapters:
- 2 * JAMMA->DB25/DB15 (between Naomi and switchers + between JPAC and switchers)
- 1 JAMMA edge->DB25/DB15 (between NAC harness and switchers)
For DB15, you need to wire R,G,B, GND and SYNC
For DB25, I wired P1/P2 joysticks, P1/P2 buttons 1-6, Start 1, Start 2, GND.
Makes sense?

It does. I was unsure if that would work properly. it looks like I might be able to do component video from both the PC and the Golden Tee Board (I have JROK's RGB -> TV converter w/ component). I should be able to find a cheap component switch, and the DB25 is a good idea as well. I think I should be able to figure it out.
Thanks!
