Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

so i guy at work today was telling me that his wife wants a stand up arcade machine, when he says the name galaga, i proceed to tell him the value and how much he will have to pay, i then realize that he has no interest in the game being original whatsoever. So i told him i could build him a MAME unit out of a jamma cab that i have, and informed him that i would put other classic games on it aswell. So my question is, would it be cheaper and easier to hook a multicade board up, and does it just plug n play into jamma harness? or would it be cheaper to go mame (have to get arcadevga and ipac $150 combined)
