Do X-in-1 boards have a lockout feature?

Hi there. We're an operator out of Cleveland, Ohio, and we're looking to put together some retro cocktails and uprights. My guys have seen the X-in-1 boards on jammaboards.com and were hoping to go with those. What we can't figure out is if you can exclude certain games from being played. Like if you have a 60-in-1 board, can you make it be JUST a pacman? Or only have a choice between pacman, galaga, frogger, and centipede? Or must you have all 60 games enabled?
 
you can disable games all the way down to having it just boot to a single game. some have used the multiboards to replace broken original boards.
 
You can exclude any games you want. All you have to do is boot it up in service mode and you can select which games you do not want to show up.

If you disable all but one game, then you won't even see the game select menu and it will display like it is a single, dedicated board.
 
Thanks

Awesome, that's great news. Been wanting to play with all those old cabinets for a while, but the boards were always in one giant pile of questionably working bits. Now we can get them going without searching through 50 boards that say "pack-man". Thanks so much for the quick reply.
 
i think that is pretty common switch for vendors that need to make money on a coinop machine. setting up just 1 game on the multi-board. the public would never realize they weren't playing the same exact pcb game. nor do they care.

obviously not the same mentality of the collectors doing restorations around this forum...
 
Just be aware that the sound emulation is crap on some games on the xxx-in-one systems. I have personal experience with the 60-in-1 and I'm sure other users can address the other system boards.

Not a problem for testing of course, but if you're planning on putting them out on the floor for the public.

Just curious: are you going to use flat-screen LCDs to replace the monitors?
