RaspberryJAMMA running ARpiCADE is the easiest way to breath new life into your existing arcade cabinet. Simply plug in and get gaming.
RaspberryJAMMA: an adapter that allows you to use a Raspberry PI to power your JAMMA compliant arcade machine. Currently, RaspberryJAMMA supports the Raspberry PI 2, 3 and 4. (We use the 3 or 3B+ for images).
We try to make this simple. The easiest way is to purchase through us. But, you are free to order from wherever you like. The images are only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3b+, so, as of today, that is the only one we carry. If you have your own, cool! Just make sure it is the proper one. You have to verify it is the 3B+, we don't know what you already have. The Images are designed to work on RPi 3B or 3B+ only. The Arpicade does work with Raspberry Pi 4, but not our images. Check out the forum for that please.
RaspberryJAMMA is a Raspberry Pi JAMMA adapter that converts a Raspberry PI into a true JAMMA board, allowing you to run tons of cool RPi software and emulators. ARpiCADE is the operating system that runs the RaspberryJAMMA.
No modification to your JAMMA arcade cabinet is required (unless you want to add a kick harness). It can be configured for normal JAMMA (w/ optional kick harness) or for 6 buttons on JAMMA via dipswitches.
Video out is RGBS on JAMMA or can be reconfigured to output higher resolutions through VGA. The board features amplified mono sound or line level stereo can be used.

ArPiCade is a Raspberry Pi JAMMA adaptor that converts a RPi into a true JAMMA board, intended for you to do whatever it is you want with. No modification to your JAMMA cab is required (unless you want to add a kick harness). It can be configured for normal JAMMA (w/ optional kick harness) or for 6 buttons on JAMMA via dipswitches. Video out is RGBS on JAMMA or can be reconfigured to output higher resolutions through VGA. The board features amplified mono sound or line level stereo can be used.
This is a fully customizable product that can take a Raspberry Pi (Version 3B or 3B+) and install in a JAMMA arcade game!
- Who wants to be limited with 60 games, 645 games or 900 games?!? You can install ANY rom, ANY game can play on this platform. Now, there will be some things to do even if you buy the whole kit. You can install your own front end and roms to whatever you want. You can use various emulators to play console games too! Can even play vector games!
- Want to use a USB trackball to play Centipede? Yes, you can!
- Want to play Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter II? You can add an additional kick harness or even configure your fully populated JAMMA harness to operate all buttons! Way cool.
- Want to play Dragon's Lair or Space Ace without all the old hardware? You can.
This is for the JAMMA interface only as seen in picture below. You would need to add a RPi, micro SD card and install in a JAMMA arcade cabinet to work.

Great jamma pcb substitute

Great addition to our JAMMA board lineup!
Great pcb for multigame cabinet
Add a Pi and use the SD card to hold roms.
Super simple to use
Got the whole package and added the Pi. Super simple!

Simple to use. Fast enough shipping.
Awesome stuff!
Love this!
We love the Arpicade!
Easy to install following the instructions
Good way to multigame your arcade cabinet
We had the 60 in 1 and was told about this adapter that fits my JAMMA harness. Very glad we decided to go for "the works". Pulled it out of the box and we were playing in a few minutes. We recommend using this multigame and buying from Highscoresaves.com
Great support and great product!
I'm using 3 Arpicades now in a Neo Geo MVS, Capcom Big Blue and Namco Candy Cab and it has been a great, plug-n-play solution that's easy to customize too. I did have an issue with the sound DAC on the most recent Arpicade but they sent me a fixed unit quickly. Great after purchase support!
Bought another!
Sold my other cabinet that had my Arpicade in it. Bought another!
Excellent solution. Fast ship to UK
This product is a must have!
Simple to use, the forums are fantastic to read and fully customize. Glad we found it. Shipped quick!

Best solution out there for JAMMA
Great setup, highly recommend!
Easy install - plug & play
This is the best way to get your pi connected to your arcade. Easy, fast install. Software was download & play too. Worth every penny.
Thanks!
Excellent setup. East install in my game, playing in about 5 minutes. The family loves it!
Quick shipping
Plug and play with the whole setup. The fily loves it. Thanks for answering all my questions Joe
Love it
Good help on forums. I did not buy pre image (wish I did) but still easy to use and play classic games
Wow!
Easy to use pcb, fully customizable
No other "multi board" compares to this
Very happy with this! Excellent service from Highscoresaves
Perfect multigame pcb
Easy to install (it's JAMMA) and getting the setup from Highscoresaves made it plug and play in my cabinet. Much better than any Chinese crap out there!
Huge upgrade!
This is REALLY cool. I simply had to unplug my Pandora card, flip a couple of dip switches, plug in the Arpicade and boot up. This is so much more powerful and flexible than the Pandora setup. I'm impressed.
Excellent
Plays great!
Excellent idea!
Ordered and arrived in a couple days. Read the forums and made all the changes I wanted to, even though the premade solution from HSS is very good. Love open source projects! Love that the immediate gratification of the preloaded SD was there too!
Arpicade
Very nice product, well built, and was fast. I emailed with a question and they promptly replied. Great service from this company.
Buy it!
Great product, easy set up. Horizontal unit was plug and play for me!
Wow
Great pcb that changed our jamma cabinet in minutes! Pulled it out of the box (we ordered the works) and was easy to navigate. Kids and the hubby loves it.
Yes!
Excellent product. Finally! A multi game pcb that is open source!!! Forums are awesome for support

Great shipping speed
Great product and easy to use
Lots of great info on the forums
Order this a couple days ago and arrived today
Much better than the 60 in 1 pcb I had installed in my cabinet. Learning how to add and delete games that I want on it. The forums are great!
Easy way to get all the games using MAME.
Ordered the whole setup and was up and playing in less than 5 minutes! So awesome, thanks guys!

How to change menu theme?
You can change the Attract-Mode (the front end software) layout(s) from within the frontend. Once it has booted and you're at the game selection menu press 'tab' on keyboard or the cab test button/switch to open Attract-Modes menus. Navigate to the option 'Displays', then select the display you want to change (there's different displays for all games, just arcade games, and each console etc - they're all able to be changed independently of each other). In the Display Edit menu selecting 'Layout' will let you scroll between the installed layouts using up/down on joystick. {WARNING: if it is installed do not select the Invaders layout as it breaks something and causes issues - if you see it scroll past it}
Once you have the displays set the way you like access the service menu (f4 or service from the game select menu) and reboot or shutdown from there to make sure your changes are written to the SD card.
We have an ARPICADE we purchased for CRT but now we are switching to LCD. Is there something I need to do to get sound to come through without using the HDMI to VGA / Audio dongle where I can just plug sound in directly from the PCB to the Pi3? Or do I need to change default output settings?
Not a problem to move the audio to the Pi 3.5mm output rather than the DAC when using HDMI out. Just need to run one command on the command line once to set the output to the right channel of the Pi. The only downside to doing this is a possible slight audio quality reduction (unlikely to be noticed in most cases).
TO do the cahnge plug in a keybnoard prior to booting up and once at teh menus use 'f4' to exit both menus to the command line then type:
amixer cset numid=3 1
(press enter) then to reboot type:
sudo reboot
(press enter again)
Once rebooted the audio should have moved to the Pi 3.5mm output rather than the HDMI (DAC) output.
