What you'll need

MicroSD card required (ROMs not included)

Not sure what to get? Ask us and we'll send the exact part list.

Game files not included: Gottlieb boards ship without game ROMs — you'll need to source the files for your machine yourself. We include a pre-formatted SD card already set up for the board, and the instructions show you how to add your ROMs. More in the FAQ.

Note: Excalibur, Hot Shots, Big House, Bad Girls, Bone Busters Inc., and Night Moves require the Cyclone IV dev board.
