There is a website for doing a PC-to-JAMMA conversion, but for some crazy
reason I really want a 4-slot Neo Geo Arcade machine. There are four
possible solutions I came up with, and my wife prefers the Arcade Machine
and MAME.
Solutions:
HGA - Home Game Arcade system
http://www.gwtrading.com
This lets you connect a JAMMA board to your TV (JAMMA is the industry
standard interface for Arcade boards) and give you two arcade quality
controllers.
Neo Geo Home Cart system with MVS converter (need the converter to play the
cheap arcade carts instead of the expensive home carts).
Arcade System
MAME on a PC hooked up to the TV
