Recalbox RGB JAMMA invades Nationaal Videogame Museum
Zoetermeer, north of Rotterdam, is the home of the Nationaal Videogame Museum - and of several Recalbox RGB JAMMA boards.
🇺🇸 Recalbox and Recalbox RGB JAMMA now equip the Nationaal Videogame Museum's arcade machines in the Netherlands! 🕹😍
To protect & expose their original PCBs (now rare and fragile), the museum has equipped around twenty of its arcade machines with Recalbox RGB JAMMA 👾— Recalbox 🎮👾 (@recalbox)

Essentially a way to add a Raspberry Pi running Recalbox into an arcade machine, the Recalbox RGB JAMMA was initially launched as a Kickstarter. As you can see, the project was successful enough to raise money for fabcrication.
Because of how Recalbox can be configured, an authentic gaming experience can be delivered using the adapter. This can help protect the original PCB from damage.
🇺🇸 This collaboration offers visitors a totally transparent experience (loyalty, direct boot on the game, no menus, no cheating, no shortcuts, coin-operated...), without the risk of damaging the original PCBs.
