RaspberryJAMMA running ARpiCADE is the easiest way to breath new life into your existing arcade cabinet.
Simply plug in and get gaming.
RaspberryJAMMA is a Raspberry Pi JAMMA adapter that converts a Raspberry PI into a true JAMMA board, allowing you to run tons of cool RPi software and emulators. ARpiCADE is the operating system that runs the RaspberryJAMMA.
No modification to your JAMMA arcade cabinet is required (unless you want to add a kick harness). It can be configured for normal JAMMA (w/ optional kick harness) or for 6 buttons on JAMMA via dipswitches.
Video out is RGBS on JAMMA or can be reconfigured to output higher resolutions through VGA. The board features amplified mono sound or line level stereo can be used.
