I haven't owned any pre-JAMMA boards but I am familiar with converting some to JAMMA through custom adapter/harness. What I am curious about is hardware that came in dedicated machines; such as After Burner, Outrun, and Hang On.
Looking over these boards it appears they use different pin configurations and some don't have any edge connector at all. One board that I am interested in right now is a Space Harrier PCB.
My question: Is it possible to use these boards in a standard JAMMA setup or is there custom hardware or interface board that would need to be in place in between.
Thanks!

I think of all the games you could want to play on a standard JAMMA setup this would be one of the hardest to get working. Just finding the pinouts is difficult enough never mind getting appropriate controllers.
