Hello,
I’m looking to do a bartop soon.
After looking at the 412 in 1 jamma board that you could find on [site names redacted], I have learned that this board is only good with vertical game. That's ok with me because after looking at the list of vertical game, most of my favorite game are vertical. However, after more search, I have also found that I want a few horizontal games too (maybe around 20 games).
My understanding is that you get a jamma PCB board (the blue box) with 412 in 1 vertical game OR you get a jamma PCB board with only horizontal game like 500 in 1 or 512 in 1 or 619 ni 1.
I have just found a web site that have this :''2014 new game elf horizontal 619 in 1 CGA VGA Quality multi game board PCB NEW+ vertical 412 SD card
'' The description is not very clear. I have sent an email to seller but not luck. I have also found other board like that.
My question is: with those board, you only have to change the SD card (619 in 1 horizontal OR 412 in 1 vertical) to play the horizontal or vertical game using the same board, the same joystick, same everything?
I'm probably going to use a 4:3 monitor so I don't mind to play vertical or horizontal game with that kind of monitor.
If someone could confirm this
thanks a lot !!!
PS: I don't want to bluilt a mame.

I already had one and I sold it. I was always installing, deinsallting frontend (mala,mamewah,hyperspin...etc) and when i wanted to play, there was always something wrong. I think I have spend more time fixing it then playing !!!
This time, I want to get a multi game jamma board.

You're better off building a MAME, to be honest.

no mame for me....not now, maybe later but this time, i want to build a jamma

If you had problems with mame, you're going probably going to have problems with jamma. Some people just aren't cut out for this sort of thing...

Also, those games are pretty much hard-coded on there, so any games with issues on the JAMMA board (and they are there- I've read the complaints) are issues you'll have to live with.
Easiest thing I've ever done is buy a J-Pac. :dunno

thanks a lot for you help but you do not answering my initial question ;)
and like I said I want to try a jamma this time.

To answer you question, no, I don't think it works like that. If it did, there'd be a LOT more threads about it.

The 412 in 1 and 619 in 1 are not really jamma and are running MAME. It's been awhile, but I thought we didn't support the illegal MAME boards here.

We know the X-in-1s exist.
We know that some people chose to use them.
As long as you aren't posting links or telling people where to go to find them (or even hinting about that), you're not in any trouble. (see Rule 5)
