How do you like this cabinet so far? I was thinking of getting one myself. Can I ask what you paid for it? Also, did you get your video problems worked out? Do you have any problems running games that have different resolutions (i.e. they don't appear centered, etc.) Did you ever get stereo working?


: I just picked up a Taito Sit Down Jamma cabinet with a rotatable 29" monitor. Great picture and sound. I bought a cheap Jamma PCB on E-Bay and tested everything out and it works great ! (Needs some better quality joysticks and buttons)

: There have been a few other threads about these types of machines for MAME and I'd have to agree. I was originally going to build a cabinet, had the wood, bought a 19" VGA monitor and and purchased a some controls, but in the end I changed my mind and went with this model. Much larger screen and it will be easy to convert. Luckily my employer will buy my VGA monitor so I'm acutally going to come out okay.

: I'll post more pics as I make progress.

: Here's my questions:

: 1) It is a Japanese unit and the voltage says 100v not 110v. Do I need to get something to step down my 110v or is this going to be okay?

: 2) The ground was broken off from the wall plug so I cut the old one off and wired up a new one with ground. It almost looks like they cut it off intentionally. Why?

: 3) I've got a finger board and I'v got an I-PAC so I think the controls and video will be pretty easy. Is the Jamma pinout set up for stereo audio? I haven't found a good description of how to connect that up. I don't want to wire directly into the wires so that I can still use PCB if I want.

: 4) I've read that the internal cabinet power supply should be disconnected when it is a MAME machine. Is this necessary?

: It came with a manual but it's all in Japanese. At least it has some pictures.

: Thanks for anyone help !
