Boards from a cabinet

(1/2) > >>

Nudbot:
Hi,
   I was given an old cabinet that had it's monitor burnt out.  It was a 30-40 very old rom based machine, I want to put my own hardware in there to have it play more roms that I have.

There was 2 boards in the machine, one had a label games, which I figure is the game board ;)  The other board is some kind of controller board, but I can't find any details on it.  Has anyone see this board before and can point me to some details.

Regards,

Narada

The board you refer to as ”Main board” seems to be a “standard” 60-in-1 game board.
Here’s a youtube clip about it:

The other board referred to as “Gameboard” is however something interesting. I haven’t seen anything like it, but it seems to be Jamma.
Perhaps some early version of those Chinese multi game boards… By the looks it seems more or less homemade. The main chip I assume is a CPU with internal EPROM that holds the games. Guess you need to plug it in to be sure what they are.
Maybe someone else here has the same and can tell?

If you want to sell it I’m interested =)

Nope, not JAMMA, not 56 pin (looks like all the conductors of the edge connector are on the bottom side).

Yeah that bottom pic is definitely a 60 in 1.
Do you have any idea what game the cabinet would have had in it prior? many older games had multiple boards in them. Maybe the top board is one from a boardset.
Was anything hooked up to this board?

I stand corrected. Just looked briefly at the picture without counting the pins and assumed it was JAMMA since it seemed to be 2+2 power connectors (GND and 5V) at the upper end.

So the mystery grows.
