ARCADE BOARD in mame cabinet?
SirPoonga:
Anything is possible with enough time and effort :)
I don't know how you could do the video conversion form JAMMA to TV, I know it's possible.

1) put an arcade monitor in your cab
2) wire the cabinet using a JAMMA harness
3) buy a Multi-JAMMA or Double JAMMA adapter
4) connect the real PCB to its own power supply and one connector of the multi-JAMMA
5) connect the MAME computer to another connector on the multi-JAMMA using a J-PAC
6) enjoy

I would do it this way except I would not get the multi-JAMMA adaptor. It's not that hard to turn the game off and switch the harness to a different edge connector. Save yourself $100

If I knew it was gonna work, I think I'd go ahead and spend the hundred bucks. I mean, if your already spending the money to build a cab/computer/etc and are springing for a golden tee(or whatever newer, unemulated game) board, a hundred bucks is probably going to be a drop in the bucket. To me it'd be like going out and buying some ultra high end hometheater setup and then running it off of an old vcr instead of springing for a DVD player or something.
Paul Olson:
Does anyone know for certain that the double jamma connector will work with a j-pac? I have the opposite set-up. I have a dedicated Tekken 2 jamma cab that I also want to use for MAME. It would be a pain to swap the harness everytime I wanted to switch (although I'm not sure that will be very often).
Thanks, Paul
the3eyedblindman:
Does anyone have instructions running a jamma pcb in a cabinet that is the basis of a tv, a computer, and an ipac?
Mooters:
I have seen an RCA to kamma setup but im not shure if i've seen a JAMMA to rca setup but i bet they exist.
