What is it, it has a 3.5mm jack socket and what looks like a DB serial port ?
It doesnt look like an arcade game, maybe a poker machine board ?

No, it IS an arcade board. It may have begubn as a sophisticated poker board, though.
It is a 3 in 1, 6 in 1 or 9 in 1 game which has several games such as galaga, pacman, donkey kong, froger., etc. It illegally uses the MAME code as the basis and the game program is in the eprom on the side.
Hope that helps. And no, I dont know where to get one, sorry.

So that's actually running a computer program? Interesting bootleg...Nightmare Tony said:

Yuppers. Much cheaper to hagve a small dedicated PC controller running MAME there since the game set roms are so small. Nowhere does it actually say MAME, so they had bootlegged it, but I recognized some of the startup work on one of those. I dont see them making their own new driver, so its a snag. But it makes life mucho easier for that kind of thing...

Wonder what those ports are for, hmm.
There's 2 visible D-sub ports (only one fully), seems to be DB-9, perhaps for serial or possibly for VGA. The 3.5 mm jack is probably for sound, right??
