Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or maybe help me with some of my questions.
I have got a bar/pub in the UK and I'm looking to have some retro arcade machines in there but looking at suppliers they want 4k for them and I found that slightly expensive and I thought I build one myself so after doing more research into licences and law I understand that I cannot use MAME or any type of emulators due to licence / copyright (correct me if I am wrong). I understand if i buy a PCB like CPS1, CPS2 or JAMMA boards that are not bootleg I can use them in public place?
I can't find any tutorials on how to build one from scratch. I think I know the basics on what I need but it's configuring it and setting it up I'm slightly confused.
Can I use LCD screen with any board or is there certain boards allowed?
How do I setup a coin mech? I can buy a door and a coin mech but how do you programme it to the board? Is it simply plug and play or soldering?
I know there a lot more that I have not mentioned but I'm just looking into it at the moment and hopefully I get a better understanding how it all works with your help.
Thank you
