We are not selling you anything here. Instead I'm going to talk about what I've been doing. I'll be talking about random electrical projects that I've been up to - games, music, cool websites and anything I feel you might be interested in.
The next upcoming project will be maming my new Atomisware SD candy cab.
(Stock picture, I'll have get a picture of my own one up soon.)
This was one hard pick up to find in Ireland! It took a long time to get it and a lot of expense.
Now I have never been a fan of emulation (That's what inspired me to make reproduction games). So at first I planned to run original JAMMA boards on it but I quickly realised that the game boards were not only very expensive but also incredibly hard to find.
You see, acrades were never as popular in ireland as they were in America and other countries.
Ie assu this was because they are big machines and it is quite costly to ship them here. I have seen a few machines that look like they were made here and parts then put into them - machines without any side art or manufacturer's logos.
So JAMMA boards seem to be much cheaper in other countries. But the cost of shipping such delicate boards to Ireland is ridiculous. So I have little other option but to turn to emulation. While the machine will be running Mame, I still want it to run JAMMA boards whenever I like without difficulty.
This makes things that little bit more complicated.
I'll shortly be putting up a post on how to do this as cheaply as possible - I'm just waiting for a few more parts to arrive.
