Alright people i guess its time i finaally announce my project, considering i have finally negun buying parts. Heres the set up...
27 inch tv with s video input, connected to a J rok, which connects to a super jamma harness, which connects to a pcb of any game i wish and a j pac, and the jpac hooks to my computer, which has mame, all roms and chds, so basically, my cab will play jamma pcbs and mame. It will have a 4 player control panel, a replica of the slik stick quad, a trackball, and lightguns. It is the ultimate arcade 2 design from mameroom.com, the upper sides will be canyon blue laminate, as will the top of the control panel, and the bottom will be painted gloss black. it will have a nonfunctional coindoor, just for show, and a real happ bezel. The marquee will be a bunch of mini marquees, like those pocketbikez has @ netbox.home.mindspring.com.
Lookin for comments, I think its goin to be beautiful.

Are you planning on manually connecting the PCB or JPAC when desired or another method such as a multi-JAMMA kit, etc? which can be toggled / selcted by key / button press.

Im not quite sure actually, the multi jamma hookup is 125 dollars, which is only about 50 bucks cheaper than my 27 inch s video tv, Im not sure if i will switch them or waste the money. Im not sure yet. Thats real expensive, it would be nice being able to switch from mame to nfl blitz to showtime ect at the swtitch of a button, Anyways, I would like some comments on my plan. Please Reply.

Actually, Blitz uses 49-way sticks which won't interface via J-PAC (you need the 49-way interfaces).

A J rok is a device that converts the picture from a jamma pcb into a picture being able to be shown on a tv. Basically it lets you hook up a jamma harness and pcb up to it so you can play them on a tv screen through composite or S video inputs, not needing an arcade monitor. I think jrok.com is the website, you can look at them.
