Hi,

I've made a small programm that allows you to extract the information of your I/O so you can know what characteristics your I/O has, what games it can be compatible with, etc.

Here is the program and source code. Notice that the source code can be improved :) the COM port is still hardcoded so I uploaded 2 executables one for COM1 and one for COM3. It's compiled using Bloodshed Dev C++ (www.bloodshed.net)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/jtjb6m6yylmdqpi/JVS+Info.7z

In order to connect it to a normal PC, you need a rs232-rs242 adapter like this one:

For the JVS cable, I've used a normal USB connector from i.e. a printer cable.

You need to connect just 3 cables. Notice that we will ignore the pin SENSE and use only TX+,TX- and GND.

These are the answers that I got using it with the JVS I/O that I have:

Awesome!

Those ReadID replies are ASCII, too, so they can be viewed as:

SEGA CORPORATION;I/O BD JVS;837-14572;Ver1.00;2005/10

SEGA ENTERPRISES,LTD.;I/O BD JVS;837-13551 ;Ver1.00;98/10
 
@MetalliC as you are an expert on Naomi/DC communication with JVS. Is there any other command that you think I should extract from my JVS before I get rid of them.

The goal is that any JVS emulator will be able to emulate perfectly any JVS card.
 
This is great, thanks for sharing!

It looks like some of those are reporting analog output. I wonder how that gets used.
 
Dunno what can those analog outputs be used for? Some kind of lamps or Feedback?

I'm surprised by the answer of the Capcom I/O that I thought to be original. Well, I'm not sure what it is anymore... "No Brand;NAOMI Converter98701;ver2.0;"
 
the info extracted as ASCII above is available in the test menu of any game that uses that I/O board when selecting I/O PCB or whatever. Most of the Sega I/O board text is listed in the MAME src 'drivers/naomi.cpp'
 
note: some of IOs have several feature sets depending on jumpers or DIP SW settings.

Sega JAMMA JVS IO depending on jumper position:
2 players 11 bits
2 coins
8 analog inputs
6 outputs

2 players 15 bits
2 coins
8 analog inputs
none outputs

Capcom IOs have 2P and 4P configs depending on switch:
2 players 12 bits
2 coins
8 analog inputs

4 players 10 bits
4 coins
8 analog inputs

and Sega Type-2 IO have about dozen of function sets selected using DIPSW

@MetalliC very good information. Does it make sense to make a new dump changing dip switches? I guess no. If you give the right answer to ReadID command, you can configure the rest as you want.
 
What kind of RS485 device are you using to get the data ?

Which is a little odd - software update from sega?

Type-2 IO may have either ROMs:
EPR-21868
SEGA ENTERPRISES,LTD.;837-13741 I/O CONTROL BD2;Ver0.15;99/06

EPR-22082
SEGA ENTERPRISES,LTD.;837-13844-01 I/O CNTL BD2 ;Ver1.00;99/07

EPR-24354 (837-14645 model)
SEGA CORPORATION ;837-14506 I/O CNTL BD2 ;Ver1.01 ;2005/08
 
I've got a newer Namco JVS I/O board that the JVS-PAC is unable to interface with. invzim tried quite a few different things but sadly couldn't get the boards to talk, NAOMI has no issues (naturally Namco first party boards don't either) - I'd be interested to see what about this board is different from others

How does the system work to extract the information?
 
Please post pictures of your board. I'm updating the 1st thread with the tool and source code so anyone can use it.

My board is the Cyber Lead v3.00 with the photo on the AO Wiki :)
