I have a working NBA Jam cab that works nicely, but ugly. I've also got a bunch of other 4p boards that I've recently picked up. I haven't bothered to hook up the other boards until I get the cosmetics in order, and make some shelves to hold all of the boards in the cab.
From what I understand, NBA Jam and NHL Open Ice are essentially the same, and I would have to do some minor mods to be able to swap in TMNT/Xmen/Sunset Riders/Simpsons. What would I need to do? If it matters, these will be on free play all the time so take the coin-doors out of the equation.
I found a jamma switch but it powers all of the connected boards, which I would like to avoid. Anyone have some type of jamma switch that only powers one board at a time?
Lastly, I have an NBA Jam TE board with a cracked socket. I'd rather not spend time solder and unsoldering 80 pins (I'm slow with the soldering) so could I just swap chips onto the NBA Jam board from the TE board or are there other differences?
Thanks in advance.
