Is there such a thing as a Jamma board switcher?

I'm not sure if such a thing exists ( I remember reading about one a while ago - if that's what it was ).

What I'm thinking of, basically, is something that would allow one to hook up multiple Jamma boards in one cabinet ( think of a multi-slot Jamma cabinet ). Something that would allow me to hook up Jamma PCBs or maybe a CPS2 motherboard in my cabinet that's wired up with a NEO MVS one slot and be able to switch games without unhooking the NEO board.

Does such a thing exist? If it does , where can I get one?

Thanks in advance. :)

Those multi jamma's are very good, they take upto 8 devices I have one with 2 six slot neo boards a 1 slot neo board and a hyper neo 64 board, It has a little button on the card which you can wire upto a button on the cab to select game, however the neo geo select button on the six slot boards is not usable on the multi jamma so they need wiring up seperately for, however this is not too difficult and adds to the fun of getting it all working perfectly.

You will have to be careful what you put in though as my cab is a small sit down cab and I have to leave the back off as the six slot boards are prone to overheating and it makes the screen go all weird so it needs plenty of ventilation.

It all adds to the fun of arcade gaming :D I'm getting a couple more cabs today so i'll be starting again now it's all setup and working haha time to split things up and mess around again...

Hope this helps. <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" /> :D

Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for. Looks like I'll have to get extra power supplies and cooling fans. I didn't know it would have every board powered up at the same time...
Up to 8 Jamma boards? Sounds like more than I'll ever use - or maybe not :D

Couple questions :
-Since I don't keep my cabinet on all the time ( I only turn it on when I want to play with it - 2-3 times a day). Would this affect the Multi-Jamma at all?
-And when you have a Neo MVS hooked up, where do you connect the 4th button?

Thanks again.

Nother good source for the arcade switcher is <a href="http://www.eldoradogames.com" target="_blank">www.eldoradogames.com</a> . They also sell full cabinets and you can purchase any classic game board you seek.
