I'm all about keeping a classic game original, but lately since it's been a real pain finding cabinets and pcbs without spending tons of money, I've found new love for these 60-1 pcbs. Just converted Ms Pacman that had a flaky pcb and hacked wires to jamma and 60-1. Will lock down to only play Midway games. Got a Centipede that had a dead pcb. Now with the jamma pcb to Centipede cabinet adapter, the 60-1 (locked down to Millipede and Centipede) plays perfect with original wiring, even the trackball plays perfect. Great video!
hey, I shouted at you at mgc. You weren't sure if I was serious about seeing your youtube and we joked about just saying everyone had a youtube/twitter/instagram. I totally dig your stuff and was legit didn't like it when you quit posting for a while. you have a good perspective and I enjoy your vids. Just wanted to say that I appreciate what you are making and please keep it up. if you set up a patreon, I'll contribute even if there isn't a perk.
I have 54 y old !! I played the real machines !! Theres no changes about the real (at least how i remember) and what this video show !! Galaga (Fantastic, here, Brasil), moon crest (star crest), bump'n jump and fly boy was mu best "coin eater" !!! Hahahahah !!! Fantastic time travel !! Thanx 4 the video !! Maybe ill buy a pandora box and build a retro too !!
Great review! I love this little board... I just wish it saved the scores AND names, not just the top score (and no name). You are correct... Sound is messed up on about 6 games and the continue game feature doesn't work on all games (particularly Arkanoid). All-in-all it's a great little board, especially for the cost.
BRO THIS SEEMS LIKE A DREAM. I want to try a bunch of old arcade games so I'm definitely trying this out eventually. If I can find or make a cabinet. Frick
I have this board in a bartop machine. And I’ve not experienced the sound problem as mine has volume control. The Pacman and galaxian is set up wrong as in lives. I accessed the main set up and corrected that now. But I personally think this is the best board so far in my experience. I’ve a retro pi and pandora box’s but for me this board mostly has the classics for me as I’m mid 50’s and grew up with the originals
Only definitely plan on getting one of these boards for myself. I definitely think this board is worth it and I can see why many operators and different establishments have bought a 60 in 1. My main problem with this board despite it being worth it is the fact that Rally X is flat out broken. It’s meant for horizontal monitors not vertical monitors. Even if the picture was somewhat skinny. That wouldn’t be too much of an issue but the game is just flat out broken. kind of wish that this was mentioned but anyways good review.
Ok... Im here to defend Congo Bongo...lol... I loved this game when it was released. To put it in perspective it was 3d looking donkey kong with enemies way more challenging then rolling barrels... plus early arcade 3d platforming... so when you think of the person mentioned in this video that might like Congo Bongo think of me...lol . Great video.!
my jamma 60 in 1 does not have all the games configured so that they look good on the screen. I do not know why but some of them look good and others are badly positioned on the screen, if I set one up and adapt it to the screen another one will look bad because of this change.some advice?
Thanks for the video. I happen to get my hands on a 60n1 from a place that, unfortunately, had to close down due to CV-19. But I got the cabinet for $500. Couldn’t pass it up. I wanted to make mention that you may want to do a follow up on is about the sound. I had to add a potentiometer (500 resistance) and mounted it on the underside of the control deck. Now I can play when the family is asleep. 😉 I like your idea of adding a button to the Test leads. That is a tremendous help to the alternative. Thanks for that. Question, though, when you play Centipede, 2 players, is the two player screen mirrored? For instance, the centipede’s eyes are on the back of the first segment, the points displayed when killing the spider are reversed (003, 006, 009, instead of 300, 600, 900)? I noticed that on mine. I haven’t found ANYONE on any video mentioning about that. I’d like to hear your input on it, is it just mine or if there is a way to fix it or we just live with it. Thanks.
Alexis Pruitt I got mine around $600, but that was through a friend who had to shut down due to CV19. I believe, you could get one for $800. I wouldn’t go much more than $1k.
So, fun fact about “Burger Time.” That high pitched “squeal” actually WAS part of the original arcade game, but it was buried MUCH lower in the sound mix. It was not nearly as audible. No idea why they mixed the sound this way on the rom. It sounds distracting and annoying here.
8bitredcat My buddy has the Multicade, I was wondering if there is a way to get more credits applied to the game? Right now we just keep playing the same level one over and over again. We tried to add a quarter but that doesn't do anything. Any suggestions?
Awesome review. I am trying to build a barcade, and I've setup a vertical monitor to play only those type of games. Can you say all vertical games requires maximum 3 buttons ?. Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone know which of the 60in1 games support simultaneous two player? So far I've only found 1943 and 1943 Kai that do this, and only if you set the in-game dip switches correctly. Are there any others? (Many thanks for a useful video)
hey cool video i was wondering what mod did you do to your monitor wires ? i to have a ms pacman with a bootleg board and cant get the screen working ?
@@8bitredcat yeah i had to cut it as well seems to be all working now. apart from i have a slight curl in the picture at the top right corner of the screen not sure what that is tho
Go to diyretroarcade. They have a great video on how to do this. You need to have the right LCD driver that works with the Jamma 60 and 1 and your specific monitor. If you don't it won't work.
Looking for an arcade game that includes Phoenix and galaga...but Phoenix was my all time favorite...can someone tell me which arcade includes Phoenix with galaga?
Just picked one of these up, wondering how/where the leads for setting up test / service switches are? I have the 4 switch thing on the main board, but I'd much rather just hold down a button ... Having difficulty as I have no schematics or manual with my purchased machine. Any suggestions?
I just bought this exact same arcade machine with 60 in 1 Games. My question is can I get other game boards with more games And just plug it in, or with this particular arcade machine is there Any limitations I need to know about?
jamesmartin3236 JAMMA switchers exist. So, in theory you could have a couple of JAMMA cards in your cabinet. I’m not sure how power would work or how you would switch between games but it would be a neat project.
8bitredcat I plan to get rid of the 60 in 1 card and put in a 750 in 1 or more. I just don’t know if It would be compatible. Also there are different button layouts, that’s what made me wonder if all carts would be compatible with that particular arcade machine. The video shows the exact same machine that I have.
Can someone help me? I purchased a 60-1 Blee and i seem to have wired it correctly as the lights flash solid green after power up and blinking green on the second light but the games never seem to start up. It always boots to service screen and I have verified that the dip switch #4 is off and not in service mode. I have two of these boards and it seems to be doing it with both boards. I also have multiple harnesses. One player and two player harnesses. Please Help, thanks!!!
How do I get a machine like that with that monitor? A lot of machines I see on eBay are digital with a flat screen. Is there a specific website I can order the machine with the type of cabinet I want? And also I saw a 39-1 and it looks the same as the 60-1. So are these just things that I install into the machine?
Here is the control panel: www.ebay.com/itm/Multicade-Control-Panel-w-2-trackball-hole-for-stand-up-Arcades-Jamma-More-/331887620247?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 and then I found a vinyl sticker for that panel on eBay (which I can’t find now)
Big Blanski I think so, but I recall it being confusing. I feel like it takes you back to the main menu and you can reselect the game which will continue with the counter still in progress? Or maybe that was just arkanoid
Hi everyone, a doubt: in the motherboard there is a vga output with CGA and VGA resolution; but can it be connected to a cathode ray tube monitor? If yes, what are the links to use? Are those of the jamma comb? Thank you very much for the clarifications. W the 80s games, my siblings were always at the bar to see others play, hahahaha
Mary Elisabeth there is vga and cga connectors. VGA has a dedicated 15 pin din connector (standard port). Cga goes out via a 4 pin molex connector. (Nope, wrong. Molex = power). Either can go to a crt if the crt supports vga or cga. Or the vga output could go to an lcd.
@@8bitredcat Dear 8bit, in fact, my brother confirms to me that the 4-pin molex connector is used to power the 60 in 1 card through a pc power supply with its own molex connection. Did I misunderstand or did I misrepresent the question? My request is: once I have connected almost all the cables from the jamma comb, to get to the 5 CRT monitor cables (old catodio tube in an 80s cabinet for instance), these 5 pins from where I take them?
Mary Elisabeth I’m wrong. Molex = power. I get cga from the JAMMA harness. The monitor on my cab is original and uses red/green/blue/ground wires from JAMMA. Do you want to hook this up to an old school cga computer monitor?
this is a descent video...but would be way more helpful if you could please, please,please!!!!! add to this video or make one that shows your actual wiring setup for the trackball and which wires from the gamma harness are needed to connect the trackball as well as the controller. I would so look forward to getting some help with that. Thanks
It’s custom built. The base console with bottom and controller cut outs was available on eBay. The buttons and controllers are all common Jamma. The vinyl artwork on the controller was available on eBay as well.
rabidmarmot I mean CGA CRT. Most all retro arcade cabinets had CGA CRTs. Later games moved to VGA. If you look up the 60in1 or any JAMMA board you’ll see outputs for CGA and VGA. A CGA monitor can display 16 colors but most PC modes only offered a 4 color palette. However there are a bunch of tricks that can be done to get more than just 16 colors. Tbh I’m not sure how arcade cabinets implemented color and graphics on a CGA monitor and assumed that CGA couldn’t be right as I’m also used to black, white, cyan, and magenta PC games. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter
I picked red, green, and blue buttons for (what should be) obvious reasons. The red button would be your primary (jump for donkey Kong), green for secondary (bombs in 1941). Gun smoke is the only game that requires all three buttons (iirc).
There is a Jamma Pandora’s box for vertical screens that has a crapload of games and probably Mappy. Qbert, and Raiden are present. Though I’ve heard quality is not good.
Wow I am shocked you didn’t like JUNO FIRST?? It LITERALLY HAS THEEE BEST MOST 80s ARCADE SOUNDS EVER!!!!! LoL 😆 I grew up as. Kid / Young teen in early to mid 80s and That “” JUNO FIRST “” Arcade Sounds ARE SOOOOO ICONIC to when I use to walk into ANY 1980s Arcade I would Hear 👂 that Game! LoL hahahahaha LoL 😂 I thought back then IT HAD THEE ULTIMATE EFFECTS AND FUTURE SPACE SOUNDS 👍👍😂🤣🤣❤️❤️
My Jamma is stuck at 7:48 on your video. It doesn't load the games or anything. It just shows the plaid screen and plays the music. It's in service mode.
7:15 My cocktail system already had a test switch he mentioned. The 60 in 1 was plug and play. The switch is how I maneuvered thru the menu. I am guessing anyone without the test switch would use the DIP switch 3 on the board to move thru the menu. Turn it on and off?
What game could I get this with It has the to that I want the most pac man and Donkey Kong please comment back thank you very much I would only just want to games on one That's all I want those 2 games thank you very much please comment back
The video covers the majority of games that come on the card and how to disable/enable games. You could configure this card to only play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
for some reason they decided to scramble/repeat levels with increased difficulty before showing all the stages - instead of just playing them in order 😳
The Donkey Kong on these isn't very good. The colours are a bit off (girders are red rather than pink) and the sound isn't quite right (the notes don't fade out as nicely as on the original arcade but sound clipped). And the picture is generally a bit fuzzy. It's strange because that fuzziness doesn't seem to happen in the other games.
My biggest bummer with this 60 n 1 is the really poor graphics on some of the games. Games like Galaga 3 and Gyrrus, for example, look really blocky. To the point that it distorts the image and looks nothing like the original. Other games look better but not good enough IMHO
8bitredcat thanks for the response. So I’m confused. What’s the difference? I tried searching youtube and they put the 60-1 in the same category. Is mame just software? Also, how close is the 60-1 to the real thing or is mame better as far comparing it to the real thing? I would assume a PCB board is closer but I have no idea.
MAME is typically software running on a computer like Pc, Mac, Pi, Android, iPhone, etc. where you can add and remove ROMs. Depending on the version of MAME and the power of the computer determines how complex of a ROM you can run. The 60in1 is a hardware ROM with a set of games that (afaik) can’t be swapped in or out. This card also plugs directly into a JAMMA harness whereas a computer would need a JAMMA interface before plugging into an arcade cabinet. The video goes into a bit of detail about how close these are to the real thing. However, the reality is that, they are not the real thing so a purist would most likely pass this by.
8bitredcat thank you for clearing that up. But I have to say, original motherboards are dying out each day and becoming harder to repair or replace so at some point, I think the “purists” will have to settle for the next best thing. I’m actually surprised that there are as many originals out there as there are. They must do a hell of a job at maintaining them.
Great review. After I watched this I purchased a 60 in 1 kit and a 3 inch track ball from Paradise Arcade Shop, and a dedicated Happ dedicated 4 way from Ebay. Had Coin Ops original set up in a Space Invader Cabinet that I found in the trash with an X-Arcade controller and XBox. Unfortunately the hard drive crashed. Pretty bad regarding 4 way game play. Bought two two player Pandora’s Box 20s 3D WiFi’s on Ebay. Set one for 4 way to play older arcade games and one set for 8 Way to infinity for fighting. With the upgraded Sanwa JLFs it plays pretty good on the 4 way gate. However lacks the proper feel for PAC, DK, etc. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80’s is a blessing and a curse regarding arcade. After playing the originals believe the only way to get close to the feel is by doing the full 60 in one set up with a track ball. Not knocking it but personally not interested in 1st Up. Cabinets don’t have dimensions for comfortable game play. However I do think it does reach those who don’t have the space. We will see how the 60 in on for the Space Invaders Cab goes.
