I believe several people here are using an Arpicade board in a cabinet. I have a Jamma cab and am looking to buy an Arpicade for it.
I'm in the USA, and looking at

My cab is an oldschool vertical Midway style, not fighting game, so I guess I don't need the kick harness or extra pins, BUT do you think it would be a good idea to get them now in case I want them in the future?
Then comes the SD card -- I have several big SD cards I could use, but being a total newbie to Raspberry PI, Linux and Arpicade, so I was thinking to get the vertical SD card from them for $40. But, I keep seeing people talk about downloading "images" fort the Arpicade, so maybe I don't need to buy the pre-installed SD card and can just use one I have. Question is, as a newbie would that be a frustrating way to begin?
Thank you very much for any opinions you can offer.
