Post by: cluster on June 16, 2009, 12:40:25 pm: What's the name of this piece of hardware?
Where can it be purchased?

Thanks!

It's essentially the hardware that you plug your jamma board into, and on one side you plug your two joysticks into, and on the other are video outputs etc.

If that helps any? Will do some searched on Supergun and see if this is what comes up.

1) If I were to go this route, and buy a KI jamma pcb with flash kit, would I be able to hook up my X-Arcade Tankstick to the Supernova?

2) How much does the Supernoval itself cost? I don't see a quote on the single unit, only bundled with those cheesy looking joysticks.

For as much as one of those things cost, coupled with the cost of a KI board & flash kit, you'ld be better off building a computer and playing through MAME.

Wish I knew which way to go, I really just want the cabinet, but the wifey would kill me if I bought that and threw it in the living room. lol

pick a theme so that you can name it after your children or something...it makes it easier. my wife was not too pleased when i told her i brought home a cabinet, but then i named it ZakMan, after our oldest son (only son at the time) and that seemed to make it OK.

This cab is the perfect centerpiece for the family room!

Just make sure that you play the KI main theme when you show it to her:

Wife probably threw a fit because of the condition that thing is in.
