the only Ghouls and Ghosts cabinets I've seen have had 8-ways, so it's likely such a change would be rejected, I believe the CPS boards were meant, for the most part, to be interchangable on a standard Jamma cabinet.
it needs to be selectable at a different level of abstraction, the way the ports and inputs tie directly together at the moment is one of those old legacy things in MAME, really we should be dealing with control panels / types of panels at a different level.
