Got a Smash TV today $100 - what to do?
Glaine:
I'm bettin you mostly just need new mircoswitches for your joys though I'm just throwing that out there.
I'm not that big on Smash TV, but would still prefer it dedicated than a MAME for sure.
I've seen some folks with board-switching systems, which would be way cool for something like this. Best setup would be Robotron, Black Widow, Total Carnage, & Smash TV cuz you've already got that. Sounds pretty tricky unless you just keep all the boards in there and just switch em out with the Jamma connector, someone did that on here with a cab and most of the Mortal Kombat PCBs. But this is also assuming those PCBs would all be compatible on your setup. Would need to read up on that.
shardian:
The odds of almost all of the microswitches being bad is very unlikely. Either a ground fault, or one of the jamma harnesses is loose. Remember that this is jamma+ and has an extra harness.
Chunce DeLeone:
There are no micro switches in a Smash TV....they are all 8-way Wico Leafswitch....Its one of the sickest control setups out there and should be restored and not sold or Mamed....
The Shafts/Joys are the same as Robotron just twice as many.....
I just got 4 Samsh TV joys off ebay that were barely touched, mint condition, even with some small tie wraps to keep the leaf in better, soldered grounds, totally Sycted to create my cab with a Smash TV Centric CP
Nice Pick UP!

I like C. I've been thinking about adding a dedicated jamma or neo geo board into my MAME cabinet as sort of a "backup" for those days when windows, or whatever, just isn't working properly.
I definitely wouldn't add any buttons which would really limit it's MAME capabilities though.

I vote for B (or A). Those are two great games that aren't usually authentically playable with your typical MAME cabinet.
