Is there such thing as a Ms/Pacman PCB board switcher? I searched and can only find JAMMA ones.

I want to be able to put 2 PCB in my cabinet, one Pacman and one Ms Pacman and easily switch between the 2.

If no adapter is available is there any interest if i make a few? I figure all you need to do is cut power to one of them and have all the common connections go to both boards.
 
I don't know if they are still available, but there were kits (MultiPac?) that enabled a single board set to play multiple variants, including Ms. Pac ones, via a single Pac Man board. You may find that to be a cheaper or easier option than starting from scratch.

That doesn't sound like a good idea.

I doubt anyone has made available a dedicated switcher for the Pac games.

But what do you mean by "easily switch between the 2"?

I assume one can make Pac-man to JAMMA and Ms. Pac-man to JAMMA adaptor for each board and plug them into a JAMMA switcher.

Does your game have the original or DC-Pac wiring harness?

I have both boards, original pac wiring. I rather not buy a multi chip as that would cost more than making some type of adapter, and its pac jr that i have so the 4-1 multi game one doesnt have that.

by easily switch between the 2, is that only one board would be on at a time, then i would have to flip a switch to select that board.

There is no switcher that can do that on the market.(Though I designed and have yet to build something similar).

The only thing you can do at this time is make an adaptor for your Jr. Pac-man and have it situated on top of the PCB. Then you would have to manually switch the main wiring harness edge connector between both boards.
