and is interested in buying could they get a price and we can split the postage costs, suprised this hasn't been done already

This first version has no video amp on-board so you'll be driving your monitor brightness to the max before you'll see much.

Definitely a great idea and if he adds a video amp then worth picking one up but until then I'll pass.

Jammacon board could be respun to do this easily, but I've enough going on at the moment and I'd feel guilty 'stealing' someone else's idea

The scene really needs a simple (low-cost) decent customisable multi-game board, something better than the Pandora's/Blue Elfs and less hassle than a fully blown PC hyperspin setup.

Actually, now that I think of it there is no reason why a Raspberry pi would not work already with the jammacon board..

interesting point about the video amp.

A boot into a super basic MAME front end without showing the Linux boot process can be done easily enough on a Raspberry Pi. This + the right hardware = super nice little multi-game board = ….profit?

Do it, Raspberry pi and the Jammacon board would be awesome.
there was a Chinese guy building an opensource jammaboard a while back but it kinda died, no updates in over a year anyway. Websites still there though

You need to concern yourself more with doing this, and not so much not doing it (time permitting ofc)
