There are a handful of PCBs I will sadly no never be able to afford so admitting defeat and wanting to get a simple small setup in my jamma cabs.

Both have coin counters which I'd like to keep in place, however the RGB-Pi doesn't have much power protection and requests you put diodes in the path of coin collectors in order to protect the boards.

Has anybody actually done this and did you tidy it up or just hack things together?

I'm torn between this and another solution at the moment.
 
Ooohhh that looks good. Many people using them?
 
it's again very new but I've tried it in my cab and it's great.
A friend also bought it and is very happy with it.

I'm trying to resist buying it but it is just a matter of time
 
I use this with RGBpi and it works great.

Run it in my E2 without any issues. Handles coins, has a kick harness, volume pot on the pcb, fan.

Don't get me wrong, Recalbox hardware looks good but it's 2-3x the price of the Crown PCB so that's what I went with.

I first started with it running a Pi4 and RGBpi OS4 but am now running it with a Pi5 and an unofficial fork of OS4 that works with a Pi5. All the later Cave games that ran poorly on the 4 now play smooth as butter on the Pi5. Very happy.
 
I just received the crown arcade raspberry pi jamma and it works great. I am having trouble adding arcade mame roms in RGB Pi os4 I added SNES and Genesis roms no problem, but when I add ROMs to the Mame folder and then scan for games nothing pops up? I am using a usb stick and a raspberry pi 4b.
