I need to take a straw poll and see what people around here think. I have a relatively nice NFL Blitz cabinet that I picked up several months ago with the intention of possibly using it as a JAMMA cabinet. The problem is I didn't realize the game was designed as a JAMMA+ cabinet.
So, now that I'm in the mood for a little project, I have to decide what to do. Some things to consider:
• The cabinet has the 49-way optical sticks and a control panel that looks Blitz-specific (the inside of the cabinet itself is labeled Mortal Kombat 4) as it only has three buttons per player. Judging by the underside of the CP it never had six buttons. Not a big deal since I don't play many games with more than three buttons.
• The hard drive appears to be on the fritz. All the self-tests work but I can't get it to keep any records after powering down.
So, what's the best option here? There's not a whole lot I can do with a JAMMA+ and 49-way sticks setup except play the other NFL Blitzes and a few other games. Should I bother rewiring the cabinet and installing 8-way sticks or should I just keep an eye out for a real two-player JAMMA cab and just try to get this NFL Blitz working as well as it can (hard drive, few glitching buttons, etc.)?
Any feedback is appreciated.
