I'm picking up a Super Neo 29 candy cab this weekend and I've been trying to get everything ready before I pick it up. I plan on using a J-PAC to connect to a MiSTer setup. There is currently a 4-slot board in the cab, so I also grabbed a JNX Big Red Adapter.
I've searched and searched, but I'm just having a horrible time figuring out exactly how all this is going to work. I assume it's going to be:
MiSTer > VGA/USB output to J-PAC
J-PAC > JNX Big Red Adapter
JNX > CRT/Controls
My questions are:
1) The JAMMA standard won't necessarily support all of my buttons (4x 2 players + select), correct? How will I wire up the additional buttons?
2) This may be related to #1, but will I just plug the JNX into the J-PAC?
3) Audio. I asked this in another thread and people said: "Just get an amp", but I cannot figure out how this is supposed to work. Especially since JAMMA is only mono, but MVS supports stereo. I want to use the cab's internal speakers if possible.
I think that's pretty much it. I know this is all probably not that complicated, but I just can't wrap my head around it. I appreciate any help.
Edit: To complicate things, I found a thread on here where someone was talking about not using the J-PAC, because it negatively impacts video quality, but I couldn't understand a word they were saying about the way they were doing it. Any thoughts on alternatives there?
