Can a shooter with a hard drive be swapped into a shooter that didnt have a hard drive originally?

Absolutely.
The HDD makes no difference to the rest of the machine. It's only connected to the PCB, and gets its power from it as well. I have an Area 51 (well, actually A51/Max Force Duo) in my Lethal Enforcers cab (which was a Police Trainer conversion cab when I got it).
It'll work as long as it:
-is JAMMA pinout
-is standard resolution
-is horizontal monitor orientation
-has a compatible gun pinout (Happ 4-pin is most common), or adapter
-doesn't require any buttons beyond 1 & 2PL start (unless you add more to your CP)
So far, I can confirm the following are all interchangable (with a little creativity on audio wiring of the Atari games), because I've played them in my cab:
-Police Trainer
-Lethal Enforcers
-Sharpshooter
-Area 51
-Maximum Force
-Area 51 / Maximum Force Duo
I'm sure there are more that could be added to that list, like Egg Venture & Lethal Enforcers 2, but I haven't personally tested them.
Interesting.
I thought Target: Terror was VGA... but I just downloaded & read a manual, and apparently it has dipswitch selectable VGA/Medium/Standard rez.
-Police Trainer
-Lethal Enforcers
-Sharpshooter
-Area 51
-Maximum Force
-Area 51 / Maximum Force Duo
I'm sure there are more that could be added to that list, like Egg Venture & Lethal Enforcers 2, but I haven't personally tested them.
Does it matter what monitor you use if the cabinet is mirrored? Would I be able to pull a 25 inch monitor from a non-mirrored shooter and swap it into the mirrored shooter? The mirrored is Lethal Enforcers 2 and the non-mirrored is Police Trainer. Basically, is the setup any harder on a mirrored screen is what I guess I am asking.
I have a police trainer and thought i could just swap borads, but i don't know where to plug in guns.
I see you indicate there is a conversion for the current guns to fit in the area 51/max force board? Where do i buy that and will it apparent where tp plug them in?
Thanks a lot
Well your directions were outstanding and the area 51/max force board works great.
One more question: i have a Holland Computer arcade 2 in 1 jamma switch control.
Can i split the wires for the guns and plug each gun into both boards. Only one board would be powered at any given time.
Thanks again.
