as background: I had previously converted an arcade cabinet to run off a RaspberryPi via a J-PAC for MAME and console emulation, which kinda sucked for a variety of reasons. I’ve now replaced it with a MiSTer, an FPGA that people have used to make cycle-accurate implementations of old gaming hardware, and MiSTercade, an addon that allows everything on it to run through standard JAMMA

I’m absolutely vibrating with nerd joy at having successfully replaced this setup with a MiSTer + MiSTercade https://ryanfb.github.io/etc/2017/11/11/converting_a_jamma_arcade_cabinet_for_mame.html
