What's the difference between a PCB board and a JAMMA board?

I was just browsing gwtrading.com and they sell both PCB and JAMMA boards. Both can work with their HGA system so what is the difference between them?

A PCB is just a printed circuit board, ie that green baord you find in almost any electronic device. I think that at GW they just have there baord selection arranged oddly.

All boards are PCBs. Only JAMMA boards are JAMMA compliant (obviously). Only JAMMA compliant boards, or JAMMA converted boards, will run with a Super Gun. Some JAMMA+ games work as well, the plus being things like extra buttons, such as Street Fighter 2 (the JAMMA standard calls for no more than 3 I think). If the plus stands for something else, like a different type of video or something (not even sure that happens or is possible) then it could fuck up your super gun and/or TV.

Fuck GW Trading. The guy who runs it, Fsal, is an arrogant ass. He also loves sending virus infected emails to the people in his address book.

Is GW Trading really that bad? Has anyone here been screwed by them? Also, quite a few SEGA arcade boards use SEGA's System 16. Is it possible to make a System 16 game like Golden Axe run on a super gun?

Slerch don't be ignorant, virii nowadays (more specifically worms) look through the address book of an infected computer and automatically forwards itself to everyone listed. The guy probably doesn't know he has one!
