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.
Fast Switch Note: On games with spinners, lots of standup targets, or rapid switch sequences, PinMAME timing may miss inputs — this is a software emulation limitation with no current fix. LISY1 is best suited for diagnostics and bench work via the LISYcontrol web interface. For daily gameplay, GottFA1 (hardware emulation) is the recommended choice.
Note: On spinner-heavy games, fast switch inputs may occasionally be missed due to PinMAME timing. GottFA1 (hardware emulation) is recommended for those titles.
