Is there a such thing as a GOOD JAMMA switcher? I'm looking for a 2 or 3 board version (or more). I'd like to run both the Capcom 18-in-1 and Capcom 14-in-1 in the same cab plus have at least one remaining slot for various JAMMA boards. Any suggestions?

I have the Clay Cowgill Switcher with enough hardware/ cables to switch between 2 games. With the right accessories and a few more power supplies it expands to 8 switchable games as far as I know. I have not yet tried it out, but bought it working. I have heard that it is the best system out there.

I have Clay's set up with all 8 switchers. I still need to clean it up a bit, as some boards act up through the MJ, but not when they're directly hooked up to the Jamma harness. Mine's wired with two switching power supplies.
 
I've heard Mikes is good as well, I was just thinking more then 2 games. I seem to recall some one using 2 of Mikes hooked together.

Good God. I'd like to have one of these too but $135 is too steep for me. But 2 wired together = $270 for a 3 game switcher, right? That's crazy!
 
Will any of these work with JAMMA plus....like Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter, etc.?

I prefer this one, although you have to mod it for midway PCBs....

Those aren't avaialble any more, unfortunately. And from a chat I had with them it sounds like they won't be getting those in the future either.

I have to say also that Jammaboards left a bad taste in my mouth -- with my first order I bought some jamma extension harnesses from them that were of poor quality (one didn't work at all, the other skimped on enough wires that neither game I tried to use it with worked). They did refund my money but I was out about $15 in shipping both ways.
