So, has anyone come up with a workable multi-JAMMA with guns setup? I have a Police Trainer showcase cab. I just picked up Area 51 / Maximum Force... I plan on picking up one or two other shooters. It would be awesome to wire everything up with a multi-JAMMA but how to switch guns? It would defeat the purpose if I had to open up the cab and swap the guns every time I switched games.

Perhaps there is a switch solution somewhere?
 
This has been discussed a few times, even recently. I have a 2-in-1 JAMMA switcher running Area 51/Max Force and Area 51: Site 4. I think a few others have done it as well, and I think ToplessZ was making a splitter board. On mine, I just spliced the two gun harnesses together, and it worked with no problems, though depending on the boards, it may or may not work.

Is Site 4 a game I can add to the "compatible with Happ guns" list?

I'm not sure... I didn't realize there was a list, or a compatibility issue with Happ guns. I use the same guns for Site 4 and the Combo, but I'm not sure whether they're Happ or some other brand. Is there some info on this?

Well, the list I've been compiling says these following games work with Happ guns:

1 Lethal Enforcers
2 Lethal Enforcers 2
3 Police Trainer
4 Rapid Fire
5 Sharpshooter
6 Zero Point 1
7 Zero Point 2
8 Area 51 (mirror mod and gun adapter needed)
9 Maximum Force
10 Lethal Enforcers 3 ?? unconfirmed

The "mirror mod" I think you're talking about was probably from a thread discussing boards that someone could swap into their Lethal Enforcers cabinet, which has a mirrored monitor. I'm assuming your "showcase" cab is direct-view, so that doesn't apply here. Pretty much any gun game supports direct-view; not all support mirrored monitor.

Something else to consider when reading threads talking about using a LE cab, is that it has a standard res monitor. If your monitor supports multiple resolutions, that may expand your options.

You can also play
1. carnevil

Doesn't carnevil have a "pump" input as well as a trigger? Happ guns only have trigger...

This is one of the threads he's discussing:

House of the dead 1 also

From what I have read carnevil has an option for shoot of screen reload and the pump action for the shotgun.
