Question
armpit
A mate of mine has a Gameking 2019 in 1 which I already added some extra games to ages ago, but yesterday it started blue screening with CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILURE so I went over with a USB keyboard and tried a few BIOS changes and booting into safe mode but no joy.
Then after about the 5th reboot we got no display so I pulled the box out and brought it home and powered it up with everything disconnected and only my POST tester plugged in. Seems the mobo has carked it, because it is not posting at all. :(
I spoke to a mate in town with a shop and he has a i5 machine that we can have for a couple of bob. I was hoping I could grab it and then all I would need to do is solder the connections from the jamma board to the mobo the same way as it is done with the GK board, plug everything else in and Bob's your uncle.
Before I go down that route though, I was wondering if anyone had any experience doing such and if there are any pitfalls I should look out for, or if I should not even bother with that plan and just get him to order a Pandora or something to bung in the cab. I know he would prefer me to do a PC build so we can put emu's for other machines on it and he could also use it as a jukebox.
