I zipped tied them together and set them on top bin with 2 furring strips as to not block the fans in the back. I can fit one more CPS2 A/B set, and I have another game, I am just short an A board. These cabinets that PVG Semco (Hannaho) built for Capcom are MASSIVE on the inside.

Anyway, now I can swap the JAMMA harness easily, a lot easier than it was when they were stacked vertically.

Have you ever tried those 6 in 1 jamma switchers...Was thinking of using that for CPS2 setup...

From what I understand they are flakey and don't support kick harnesses.

The boards are right under the panel so I just flip it up and swap. The cabinet is made such that the panel doesn't need to be latched so the switch takes about 10-15 seconds.
 
Nice - I like it. I need to get a cab with better front access so I can do something similar.
 
Awesome project Tighe, sent you a PM about an a board.

Wow! Thanks! I replied to your PM.

I love this cabinet, it is the easiest to swap games, I love my HS-5 but I still have to buckle the panel.
 
What kind of cab is it?

Hannaho (PVG/Semco) made them for Capcom in the 90's when Dynamo couldn't keep up with orders. Looks a lot like a Mortal Kombat cabinet, which makes people think it was a conversion, but the design is different quite a bit on the inside.

Pardon the mess, I am currently building a cabinet, and have moved eveything around but am still in flux.

Major thanks to Loegan43 for donating a working A board so I can have 6 CPS2 board sets in one cabinet. I still will have room for SF2T, Black Tiger. and Buster Bros. I will have to post photos when I have everything inside.
 
That is awesome. the best thing is the giant zip tie.
 
That's a cool idea, I've been trying to come up with a way to cram a few of my CPS2 boards into one machine without mounting them in weird places on the cabinet sides and such.

I do have a 6 in 1 Jamma switcher hooked up to a few of them currently and yeah, the kick harnesses are a bit of a pain. You can splice them all together if you want something quick and dirty though. Another thing to watch out for is cheap Jamma extension harnesses that don't have all the ends soldered together properly. Does anybody know where you can get a good quality premade Jamma extension cable over 5 feet long, or would these even work in this setup?
 
Thanks Loegan43! Now with an extra A board I can have all 6 of my CPS2 boards in one cabinet!! Now I just need to mount SF2T CPS1 board and Black Tiger in this cabinet too!

That is awesome man. I have 4 b boards and only 1 a with 2 on the way and I'm gonna do up this cab like yours. Gets irritating swapping boards back and forth.
