This might be a stupid question, but I'd like to get a JAMMA classic game
multi-board but I have a horizontal cab. Do any of the multi-game boards
rotate and crop the game for play on horizontal monitors?

There are several multigame boards that play all or mostly horizontal
games

Hey Chuck,
The 1069-in-1 is a horizontal displaying multigame setup that will
also display vertical games (such as PacMan, DK, etc) on the
horizontal monitor.
You can checkout more info on this one here:

The original 1069-in-1 version has stretched vertical games but this
has been fixed:

Thanks for the suggestion, but if I wanted to go the emulator route I
would just toss a PC in my cab, already have an iPac and HAPP UVC. 8*)

Then the answer to your question "Do any of the 'non-emulator' multi-
game boards
rotate and crop the game for play on horizontal monitors?" is no.

Pretty decent PC option for the price. You get your PC preconfigured to
Jamma with a modified power supply for under $300. The only games missing
are some of the Williams games and of course I did not see Crazy Climber 1
or 2. I think it even supports trackball.

Personally I like the 60 in 1 or the Arcade Shop boards for multigames over
a PC. Less games is ok as a board is always is slicker than a PC in MYOP.
Multi Williams AS rocks, Multi Williams China 19 in 1 has a left and right
issue still with Stargate/Defender making is a no go for me.

just turn the monitor into the vertical position and re-mount it-
fairly easy to do

But then what will you do when you want to instantly play a horizontal
game?
