New vid owner. Just picked up a really nice all original Centipede. I want to add multi trackball capabilities, but not do any permanent mods. What are my options, if any?
Thanks,
Brian

1. Get a (working) Millipede board.
2. Order the Multipede kit and adapter from arcadeshop:
5. Watch as friends and family bow down to the awesomeness of what you have just done.
I too have a Centipede but want a multi kit with more than two games. Does anyone make an xx in 1 kit that has nothing but multiple trackball games on it?
You could throw MAME in there and have a ton of trackball only games
Or hack the harness to play JAMMA and install a 60-in-1 or something. But the OP said 'no hacks' which is why I suggested the Multipede kit.
I saw that arcadeshop had a centipede Jamma adapter. I suppose I then could add a 60-1 and just enable trackball games. Not much more $$ than buying the Millipede pcb, no? Yeah, I know a waste not to make use of all the other games, but I'll work on getting another cab for those, and as I said - really want to keep the Centipede looking stock.

I think what you're looking at is a Centipede-to-JAMMA adapter which would allow you to run a Centipede board in a JAMMA cabinet. I don't know of any products that would let you go the other way.
Got it, thanks for clearing up my newbie-ness.
I think I've got my options straight. Last question, the monitor in a Centipede only does 16 colors, right (recall seeing this in the Millipede tech note on Arcadeshop. So whatever multi option I want to choose do I need to swap monitors?
One of the greatest and simplest multi kits out there. Best thing I ever did to my Millipede.
It is the Centipede board that only does 16 colors.
There is no need to swap monitors.
