Around how much did you pay for your Mega Tech board? I would like to recover the Mega Tech arcade I once owned when I was a child ( my parents had an arcade ) , and I would like to know for how much do they go around nowadays. Complete thing is better, but only the board can make it for now too.

I paid around £150 for my board, but that included a harness to make it JAMMA compatible (that was £60, so the board itself was £90)!

The price varies between £90 to £200.

The actual machine doesn't cost much more but I don't have the room for a full machine.

If you want to run the board through your TV like I do, then you will need to get a supergun, or build one yourself, I paid someone to build me a basic one (cost around £105) then I bought to neo geo controllers for it (those were £40 each sadly)!

The supergun is the device that connects the board to the TV. It is compatible only with the jamma standard, so, if the board is non jamma, as in the case of the Mega-Tech, you will need to either built or get someone to build for you a wiring harness.

I have some recent videos on YouTube of my arcade stuff, if you look at the Mega Tech video, you will see what I mean.


Also if you are interested and want to learn more about that stuff, I can tell you what I have learnt but I am not really a technical person, so if you want help building a super gun etc. you should definitely sign up to some arcade collectors forums, arcade collecting folk are super friendly and helpful, really nice community.

If you would like any more info ask here or shoot me a PM, happy to help.
