I see that what I suggested was totally misunderstood by some people. No worries, I get that a lot.
My JAMMA connector is a bit tight, and I take great care when attaching it to my PCBs or J-Pacs. As I do, I tend to first of all make sure that the connector is placed correctly, then I gently push using my thumbs against the sides sticking out (where the screw holes are). If I had a casing on the connector, I could do it using only one hand, and with the same amount of care. I never pull at the cords etc, or have the slightest problem with it (except for some boards, Flying Shark), but at least for me IT WOULD MAKE GAME SWITCHING EASIER.

Totally understood (repeat):
...if you were to develop a "quick release" style edge connector that opened & closed on the PCB as to avoid wear and tear, that managed to maintain a reliable connection and couldn't accidentally clamp down on the wrong edge connection, I'd be singing it's praises...
I see this thread is a bit old, but the connectors pictured above seem like they would work good for switching games frequently. I was hoping to find these:
I am also wondering if anyone knows of a good 2 in 1 jamma splitter or a way to have more than 1 pcb in a cabinet. I have tried one and the video signal seems a bit lacking. Almost right on, but the sharpness is lost a tad and the blacks and whites are not as contrasting as before even with correct power at both boards. I have seen pictures of a 4 in 1 called the Foreplay by Free Enterprise Games, but I can't find one for sale. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank you
