USE MULTIPLE PCBS FOR M.A.M.E.

M.A.M.E. - or "Multi Arcade Machine Emulator" is commonly used when building multi-game arcade cabinets.  You can connect multiple zero delay PCBs together.  In M.A.M.E., each PCB will register its buttons and joystick as "Joy 1", "Joy 2" and so forth.  Building a 2, 3 or 4 player cabinet for M.A.M.E. is now a rather simple affair.
