Hi everyone!
I just got my first candy cab from KC this week and it's a lovely Vewlix C.
It was wired for Taito X2 but, it's missing the X2 PC but it has everything else present.
I am looking to make this Jamma compatible without having to splice into the wires (Never doing that again, just never looks original after you have heat wrap/ different wires).
This particular cab has a Fast I/O Amp PCB with what looks to be a Jamma header.
For the life of me, I am unable to find a useful pinout: https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/JVS#Taito_Fast_I.2FO_PCB -> this is as close as I can get but seeing as I don't have a X2 PC, I really don't have a way to test the pins on the Jamma-ish connector.
Is there a way to hijack the I/O Jamma edge and use it with a Jamma harness? (E.g 5v+,12v+,GND,-5v)
I have seen a lot of posts that range from:
1) Fast I/O is garbage! Get a JVS and become a civilized member of society
2) Just make it Jamma compatible by wiring to the buttons and use the internal strip plugs for 5v+ (Assuming its a Neo Geo MVS)
3) Why would you do that? -its made for modern games
4) Get a Jammafaier and make it connect to a million other add ons to make the ultimate ultramegazord
I'd be content finding a solid 5v+, GND, and 12v+ source on a JST-NH adapter: https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/File:Jst-nh.jpg
But I think I am missing mine as it was rather gutted
Just a fellow arcade enthusiast looking to get some fun gaming on her new machine without destroying the cab and or having to buy a Jammafier (Out of stock)
Thanks
