Original Press Release:



JAMMA Gaming Board Eliminates Cards to Offer Greater Reliability, Economy, and Reduced Space



Features Onboard VIA® NANO/Eden(TM), Dual VGA, NVRAM, Crypto Memory, ccTalk, and Golden Fingers Interface

NORTH ANDOVER, MA, July 14, 2009: WIN Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of embedded x86 motherboards and appliances for OEMs, announces the MB-64000 gaming board which features integrated functionality. The MB-64000 enables excellent price performance by integrating several features on a single board rather than using a multiple card approach to support different features. The single board design helps reduce system size, enhances reliability, and reduces cost.

The board supports XGA resolution dual display with 2D acceleration for gaming applications. A stereo power amplifier enables accentuated sound effects. Various security mechanisms are incorporated to protect intellectual property. The ultra low power design provides for greener, more economical operation. The JAMMA and fruit machine pin out provides for easy upgrade and migration of current gaming machines. The board can be applied across several applications, including multimedia gaming machines, slot/poker machines, amusement machines, and slave units for multi-player systems.

The board features an FPGA and API. These can be used to program direct handling of I/O, thus off-loading these tasks from the CPU. This helps eliminate processing interrupts and leads to better system response for the game user. The FPGA also provides intrusion detection, NVRAM, and random number generation.
