Neo geo cab with mame?
tomdotcom:
Ok just looking for some ideas. I currently have a neo geo 4 slot cab that I'm thinking of adding mame functionality too. I was wondering if anyone knows if I could add a pc and mame to it and have some sort of switch so I could easily go back and forth from mame on a PC back to the original neogeo motherboard. So I could have the best of both worlds without bastardizing the cabinet outside.

The Neo Geo pinout and the JAMMA pinout are close, but not identical. IIRC there's some differences with the sound input.

Ya I've done a bunch of reading about jamma boards and some adapters that you can use. My board is stereo sound vs jamma which is mono sound. I still want to use the neo board, but I'd love to add mame to the machine as well. I just want to do it in the most seemless way possible.
I found some adapters at http://www.jammaboards.com but I'd like to use mame and then be able to switch back to the neo without a bunch of hassle. Just looking for some ideas for a little brain storming.
Malenko:
put a JAMMA to MVS adapter on the machine, and plug the JPAC into that?
I thought about gettign another neogeo cab and putting in a small old PC with just all the NeoGeo games

Ya I don't want to ruin the cab at all..I still want the functionality of the original Neo games but I'd also love for it to be more versatile by being able to play mame as well. Why not right? Gotta do some more reading I suspose. Just brain storming on the best way to implement it :)
