Since starting the online store I don't have as much time to devote to them.
I have too many projects right now sitting in my basement that I need to get to.
The multi-machines are frowned upon by the purists in the arcade hobby. I am not that concerned, but something about the real thing is better to me.
I am actually looking at one of these right now.
http://www.jammaboards.com/store/6-in-1-multijamma-switcher-pcb-pcb-6in1switcher.html (not compat with Neo Geo though) Lets you plug 6 original arcade boards in and switch between games.
Just went to the Midwest Gaming Classic last weekend. The best gaming show around, my pictures from last weekend. I have a Ripleys and Hot Line pinball in those pictures some place.

cool
the multi jamma switches are pretty crappy they fail often and make the inside of your machine crap looking(they are also notorious for blowing game boards due to to high or to low power)
if you want original stick original (dont cram 5 boards into a machine and call it original) and really anything jamma is crap anyway lol
as far as the multigame machines not being the same that's a misconception by he klov tards that want to try and keep the value of their originals
a well done mame machine is just like the original (unluess you think somthing like this is a well done mame
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/19.html)
keep it simple and make the controls arcade quality and no more buttons joysticks than what a original game would have
i refuse to do more than 2 player 6 but per player on the games i do
and the 60 in 1 boards are exact to the originals excpt the sound is over driven on gyurss and 1943
i have been in the arcade industry for over 10 years (8 years full time job) and have had just about every game you can think of go thrue my door
and side by side there is no difference in game play in 98% or the mame/multiboard games
the only games that dont do well on a multiboard or mame are control specific games or the strange stuff like the laser-disc games
the klov guys also think its horrible to convert a game to a lcd
for me thats just stupid
i can and do repair the tube screens but at this point the tubes are at least 15 years old
the caps on the monitors have a shelf life of 5 years
and even if i rebuild a monitor there in no gaurntee that a part that's not avail is not going to blow up
for me ill buy one of these

slap a lcd tha thas a better image quality and crisper picture
and not have to fret that my customer is going to call me in 3 days saying their monitor blew up
sorry for the rant but man 70% of the klov crowd erks me with their holier than thou attitude when most have some sort of multigame lol
