Anyway, have fun with it and if it has a hard drive for storing the scores, it will be highly unhappy if you swap it with another unless it's the same size.  We did that to Killer Instinct when a friend bought his first arcade and it less than politely (and on a value higher than the system actually supports) yelled out "DANGER!" (the audio it plays when you're low on life during a fight) when we turned it on at 3am in his apartment.  Took us a good 30 minutes before we could hear again, so just an FYI.  Arcades aren't big on being modified even if you think it's funny.
