As others have said, I would just buy a jamma wiring harness and a switching power supply to achieve your goal of playing the popular games you are looking for. I would not hack into, or remove anything from the cab, just leave it in there so it can be restored easily later. You won't get allot of love for the 60 in 1 boards on here, but they are cheap, easy to install, and offer a good emulation in most cases. I am running one in a Frogger cab right now. If you don't mind investing more money, then there are alternatives that play more and better games. Have fun!
