I haven't tried either of these boards, but you can get a JPAC from Ultimarc for about $60 and then connect a PC with MAME and you have unlimited games that can be updated at any time.  (If you're using an arcade monitor you'll need to get a video card to convert otherwise, you can use a regular card.)

That's what I did and I couldn't be happier.   This allows you maximize flexibility in configuring the interface that you want, getting the games that you want and leaving ones your might not want either.  Plus a lot of games had multiple versions and this lets you choose the version you want with tons of configuration options.

Take a look at the process here:  http://www.mamearcadeproject.com/

 Anyone tried 'new' 138-in-1 horizontal multi-JAMMA board? (also: anyone know jrok?)

I see what I assume is the same board here:
http://www.jammaparts.net/jamma-boards/139-128-in-1-classic-horizontal-pcb.html
and here:
http://www.jammaboards.com/store/138-in-1-classic-horizontal-arcade-multigame-jamma-pcb.html
 
Has anyone tried these? I'm mostly interested in Defender, Stargate, and
Robotron. Any alternative recommendations of products/sellers that are
particularly good or bad?
 
While I'm asking, any favorite vertical multi-game JAMMA boards? Again,
mostly interested in the basics: Ms Pac, Galaga, Galaxian, Centipede,
Millipede, Donkey Kong, and Frogger...
 
 
 
I'm more intrigued, I think, by jrok's FPGA project--anyone know the status
of that? Or know him? (I've emailed, but not gotten a response--I assume
he's busy or just doesn't answer mail from people he doesn't know)
 
Thanks,
Heath

Thanks, I'm familiar with mame. I respect that others find it useful, but am _really_ not interested in a PC-based solution.
