    Thank you man. Yea Defender isn't for me and your right my son and his friends are already in love with it. So this is maybe a dumb question but could I buy like some other arcade games and plug them into the jamma to play without having to tear the wireing apart?

    so do you guys think I should buy a Defender board and go that way or start over from scratch? It does not have an emulator inside it if that is what an emulator build.

    The cabnent and controls are just like I found them. It's says Data_East on the board. I'd like to restore it to as close as new as I can and give it to my son. I just don't understand what all the wireing and switches are for.

    I can tell that Fighter's History isn't the most popular arcade out there by far but I came across this mess of an arcade machine and I had 10 days off of work. So with no idea what I was doing I've made real progress. I'm proud even know I still have not a clue what I'm doing most of the time.
