Unless you build a machine around a real Jamma cabinet and use the original game pcb's with it. But then you are talking serious money for each game and the upkeep of the cabinet.
whoa if you could get your hands on that kind of stuff, it would be fantastic. Lol, could you imagine...you walk into an arcade....unplug a machine, pull out the master key, open it.....unplug the wires and take the board....
NOTHING SUSS!:unsure:
I think they might notice something was up! :lol:
You can actually find arcade Jamma PCBs for sale for under £40 quite often. Obviously the rarer the game is the more it will command, but there are quite a few collectors of real arcade hardware.
Next time you are on ebay do a search for jamma and you will see what I mean.
Sounds pretty crazy, because what happened if it was damaged in transport? :( Pretty risky
True, but electronics are not as fragile as many people think, and I expect they are well packaged when sent. Not really that different to any console with a cartridge based media. The Jamma boards just don't have a case around them. They still plug into the cabinet in a very similar way.
Yea I guess so, but my mind would be at ease with the addition of a case
Full on cab here, only £60 atm with ghost and goblins.

I have mame on my laptop but i dont think its as good as the real thing. I have a friend who has been looking for a konami turtles arcade machine for years and was thinking of a dedicated mame set in in a cab just to play that game. He was thinking of getting a four person cab like the original so you could also play the konami 4 person arceade games like the simpsons and that cowboy one (cant remember its name).
It is as good as the real think if you have real arcade controls to play it with. That is the one element that makes all the difference. The games are the originals so are identical. It's just getting the physical part to match.
I really need to reassemble my MAME cabinet. It's been sitting in bits for too long.
