Title: All-in-one Boards
Post by: bishmasterb on September 22, 2004, 01:07:42 pm
I'm interested in hearing from people who have used the "All-in-one" boards in their projects; legal issues aside.

What type of interface do they typically have? Jamma?

What type of video output do they have? RGB? Composite?

Power requirements?

They are Jamma. Video output gives you a choice of the standard CGA resolution thru the Jamma edge connector or you can use the onboard VGA monitor connector (you flip a dip switch to select that feature). Standard Jamma power requirements.

Thanks for the info.

Are they typically made specific for a certain arcade manufacturer (Namco, Williams, Exidy?) or are they compatible across a wider variety of hardware platforms?

I assume they can be sourced from Asia? Do you know of any suppliers? Or where I could source a small quantity in the States?

Look for electronic amusements in the google group - he sells them

They are basically a hardware MAME, if you can call it that.

Contact electronicamuse@aol.com to purchase a board here in the USA.

I've bought several.

They are very small boards.  The new ones come with a computer monitor and power supply interface.

But they are jamma.  One button one 4-way joy setup.

I got mine from electronic amusements.
There was a thread on everything else that had the link to the asian site.  I believe you would have to pay dearly for shipping on one.  

Most of the boards didn't have a glitch in the games.  They may be a little different to the trained eye, but they aren't to they untrained eye.
