Hi there this is my situation: I have limited space...live in NYC...but
do own two dedicated machines in great shape...an original Cliffhanger
(laserdisc) and an upright foodfight.
I would love to have lots of other machines but since I am quite
limited to space and my girlfriend has does have a breaking point I was
kind of thinking , would it be possible to "incorporate" a mame style
setup inside one of my cabs....(and for that matter is jamma a better
candidate? not too versed on what Jamma really is and would also
appreciate if someone could point me to a "tutorial" site about all
this Jamma stuff)I would tend to think that the Cliffhanger would be a
better candidate since it does have two buttons. What I dont want to do
is hack new hole into my cabs...at least definitely not the outside. I
have a pentium 3 tower that my brother has donated to me so I could use
that. HAs anyone ever attempted to do something like this before? My
cliffy does function 100% so its not just the cab that I will
use..would like to be able to play the cliffy as well.
Now I would of course try to only use game whose roms I own :) any
ideas folks?? would love to have the classics running...you
know...Joust Mr Do pacmans...the donkey Kongs...fighting games? I'll
use my consoles for that.
Thanks so much for your help...

George

PS- Imnot wanting to convert my cab in so much as hacking it apart just
to get more games into it. I was interested in a very subtle addition
inside the cab ...wondering if that was possible.
Been getting a lot of emails asking me not to "hack" or convert these
games. I would never do that! ...sacrilege!!

George,

*Both* of those cabs are rare and highly prized by collectors - Cliffy
alone is worth several thousand!

I would urge you to sell both to collectors and build yourself a
multigame out of a cheaper, more generic JAMMA cabinet.

Congrats on scoring those cabs though, that's quite an enviable start
to a collection.
