You could get one of those adapters that allows you to plug in two JAMMA boards. Then get a J-PAC. Then you can switch between the original Double Dragon and the MAME, without modifying your hardware. You'll still have the working original, plus MAME.

Has anyone actually tried to use a multi-jamma in conjunctin with a MAME system using a JPAC? I've considered doing this with a spare JAMMA cab I have (police traner).
