dont know if such a thread already exists, but here you can post pics of your shmups pcb collection and storage system.
now would you please look at my candy cabinet and my shmup pcb collection stored in boxes with printings (cover, title and screenshot):
Nice. I always wondered. How easy is it to swap out pcbs? I mean, I know it's not as quick as swapping disks on a console, but in general, is it pretty much just plug/unplug or are there lots of connectors or special connections for different boards?

As long as it's JAMMA, it's pretty much just plug and play. Some stuff (like 6 button games) have special connectors, but they're usually independent of the cab wiring.

I by no means an expert but I always check/tweak my voltages when I change the board as well. Not nice when you kill a game you love because you don't check it on changeover
