Anyone have any information on Coin-op/ arcade games/ jamma boards?

Question

I don't know a thing about Coin-op standup arcade games but I'd like to get more involved. Does anyone have any online information about them for beginners?

Answer 1

Welcome to a new hobby,

Here are 3 good sights to read about jamma and keep as a refference.
http://www.coin.demon.co.uk/jamma.htm
http://www.jamma.or.jp/english/index.htm
http://www.jammaboards.com/jcenter_jammaFAQ.html

Power supplies are a key thing to get to know due to jamma needing 12v and 5+/-V dc adjustable and or switching.

If you have a pcb and know what game it is you might look here http://arcarc.xmission.com/Arcade%20by%20Title/ to look at the manual for dip switch settings.

Good luck hope you enjoy,
