I have no idea, just to be safe, they should start with the older CAVE and Toaplan hardware, then work their way up.Does it have enough oomph to even do that?We're all waiting for it...is there a CV1000 core yet?

See, this is why I’m glad I asked, because I had no clue about Villena’s adapter. I’m going to keep an eye on it to come back in stock.EDIT: Antonio Villena's adapter is listed in his store, but it's out of stock at the moment:

As for lag, there won't be any video lag, and there will be negligible controller lag. The VGA display out of the MiSTer is already lag-free. The USB controls have a small amount of lag, but it's very unlikely that you'd notice it. You can explore lag-free control solutions like the Blisster along with cabinet control adapters if USB input lag is a concern.
If you want potential customers not to buy a product, we have a winner here. If this was a completely new product like Analog’s systems and cores then, yes, you can do and be all that, a bag of chips and a soda.I've never used MiSTer in a JAMMA cabinet, but the people who have seem to mostly be using JPACs.
Villena confirmed to me three times that you could use his JAMMA adapter with the normal IO board, but then changed the info on his site as soon as I made a video. Apparently you now need his custom IO board, custom RAM add-on, and forked cores supporting direct input.
I totally missed the part about having to buy his I/O Board and RAM module. Forget that.I've never used MiSTer in a JAMMA cabinet, but the people who have seem to mostly be using JPACs.

Same way you'd hook up a JPAC to anything else: thrown a little Amp in line.How would sound work, since the JPAC doesn’t pass audio? Would there be a way to still use the cab’s speakers and not have to hook up an external set?
This is the Super Neo 29 he's buying, so it's definitely wired for MVS from what I've read.Let's talk about (2) first. If your MVS cabinet is setup for a single-slot MVS board, then it's already wired for JAMMA and you don't need to worry about (2). But multi-slot MVS boards are not JAMMA, so you need something like @'XianXi''s JNX Big Red adapter to make the JAMMA adaption to the cabinet.
Yep, the Super I’m buying has a 4-Slot, so I’ll definitely need the adapter. Looks like my setup would be:Cloggerdude, here's the thing about that, if you put a Jamma board into an MVS wired cab, you can overheat the amp on your Jamma boards. You're gonna send power to where it doesn't belong. The adapter is basically a must to run Jamma in that cab.
I thought I needed one myself for a while, before I discovered that Neo Candy 29s are actually wired for Jamma from the factory, and not MVS. No idea why, they're the odd duck out as far as I can tell for Neo candies.

so you guys say ist better to go with the j-pac? was waiting for the Villenas Adapter Project sind last year. finally want to try this stuff.Huh, I didn't read through Villena's adapter description as closely as I should have. I didn't realize that he was maintaining his own separate fork of the MisTer cores to provide support for his own controller board. I'm not seeing the arcade cores in his GitHub repository ... interesting.
I dunno, if I was doing it myself, I'd go with the J-PAC and USB controls to ensure compatibility with the latest cores. That's just IMHO - one great thing about the MiSTer is all the flexibility.
