Kind of a stupid Golden Tee inquiry (multiple pcb's in one cab?)

Hello
This is kind of a dumb question but here goes nothing..
My friend wants to build a multi Golden Tee. The catch is he wants every board from 2005 and up all in one cabinet. For some reason he does NOT want a golden tee complete, he says Golden Tee complete totally sucks and he wants each individual board wired in one cabinet instead. I would love to help him no matter how silly the request is. I know they have 5 in one jamma switchers/etc.. but would those even work with a game that requires a hard drive like Golden Tee 2005 and up? Also would you be able to wire the trackball to all of them? I thought the GT trackball harness came right off the PCB but I don't know a lot about the newer stuff, more of a classic guy myself. Anyone know if this request is possible? Thanks :)
 
probably get one of those 6-in-1 JAMMA switchers then. I don't know about the trackball controller wiring needs, but you can probably use the Multi Mortal Kombat arrangement as a base idea... when you run those in the multi JAMMA board, then have problems with the kick harness inputs going nuts and staying constantly active from like a ghost grounding coming off the inactive boards (only 1 board is active in the 6-in-1, via relay).

what one user on here discovered was putting diodes inline on EACH kick harness wire (that's 4-6 inputs per game! x4) and that cleared it up.

I don't know anything about trackballs though, I don't know if you'll have any ghost grounding issues with that. I also wouldn't know how or which wires you'd put diodes on either if you did.

just tell your friend to stick with Complete and make everyone's lives easier. heh

Golden Tee's a stupid game anyway.
 
Its time consuming, but you should be able to splice wires from the trackball harness to each board to have them all connected at the same time. Which allows for selecting any board on the 6 in 1 while still having the trackball connected.
 
GT complete just adds in all 27 courses, so what makes it suck? It''s the same game.

I guess they are slightly different then the originals? I can't tell the difference but I am no GT maniac so I don't know. As a collector myself I do understand preferring originals over remakes. I know I would much rather have my original Dedicated Galaga PCB over a 60 in 1 multiboard, even though they both play Galaga :)

Thats good to know as that was one of my main concerns since the TB harness plugs right into the board. Going to be kind of a mess down there after a six way splice but if it works that will do :)

I'm skeptical that's going to work after you've split the signal 6 ways.
 
Any Updates?

Curious if anybody was able to make the splicing for the trackball work.

I also have a question, if you have the 6-1 JAMMA adapter to house multiple games, how do you power all of the boards, and how do you only power the one you are playing at the time?

Sorry, I am pretty new to this, but have a GT 2005 board that I want to add in addition to my 2004 cabinet.
 
So in this case, would the power be running through the JAMMA harness versus using one of the power by pass cables?
