Another express post parcel arrived today, this time with less interesting, but still important parts 🙂
First up is the JAMMA harness:
Next up is the joystick, buttons, microswitches, PCB feet and bolts for the joystick. The two white buttons are the 1P and 2P buttons. I went with Red and Blue buttons for the gameplay – there were so many colours available. But I stuck with what I remember playing with over two decades ago.
Thanks to the speedy delivery from OzStick for these.
I have ordered my JAMMA board today. $89AU + postage. Quite reasonable.
As I said in my last post, it’s a 60 in 1 multiboard. It includes some trackball games – so I need to add a trackball to my list of considerations for the cabs control panel. There should be enough room, as I will only have single player controls.
I have seen a few different types of 60 in 1 boards – most seemed to contain a core set of 30 odd games. The rest were a mixture of trackball games, speed up versions of other games or some random 80’s games. It’s probably worth having a look at few types to see which one best suits you. They seem to be easy to come by. Â Places like OzStick, GameDude and even eBay can help you out here.
