If you get that far, then it may have been a monitor problem, rather than a board problem. Or the board problem is in the video circuitry. Here is the link I meant to send. http://hacks.slashdirt.org/hw/supergun/ Even now typical cabinets only have one JAMMA board. I've been researching a project I'm getting ready to start in on. I want to make some custom arcade controllers as I love the old 8-bit game systems, but the old controllers are *painfully* bad. As a result I've come across these things on a few pages. You can find them cheaper on eBay.

The first will be a simple Atari joystick replacement that replaces the joystick with 4 Happ arcade buttons and two fire buttons (so it can be used for either Atari 2600 or 7800. That's child's play, a good housing isn't. Zane
