Name for JVS2JAMMA board

Suggestion for the next firmware update : indicate on screen when configuration is being saved/has been saved.
 
Weird... I'll have to test again, I didn't see this message.

Where does it save to exactly, a small amount of onboard flash memory ?
 
@invzim I have to admit, this thing is the bees knees.
It solved so many problems and helped me understand JVS a bit better.
With this device, I was able to engineer a JVS solution to be candycab ready.
Whats even better is how seamless this works with a JVS-capable cab.

This weekend I got a Blast City.
Instantly I converted it to JVS, and threw all the PCBs I could at it.
There wasn't anything I could throw at it that didn't work.
Anything connected through my CAPCOM IO was flawless.

It even translated my Namco System12 board for Tekken out of the box.
I might be ordering another for backup as this is really a seriously great piece of kit.

It saves (and reads) from micro-sd card. If you don't have an SD card installed it will say "SAVE FAILED".

@psykom1 glad you like it, I don't get 100% why you dont just do jamma straight from the the cab - but I will take your money :D

I got my Cabinet with an aftermarket monitor.
This monitor wasn't tied into the Jamma edge.
By being able to do JVS from the start, I've been able to quickly standardize everything across the board.

It makes it easier for me to swap things around.

Ok, after spending some more time testing this out it looks like the issues I was experiencing with the audio are caused by the PCB's I was using. My Snow Bros. PCB has a very quiet output and my Strider 2 PCB has lost the background music. So I have a few more things to fix.

I was also getting confused the the functions of the A/B buttons on the Jammafier thinking these were supposed to function like Test and Service buttons. Apparently this is incorrect. That means my Jammafier is working perfectly. I just need to get the Trisync helper to see if more games will be compatible with the RGBS input on the Namco Noir cabs. Pretty stoked that it works at all without the need for an OSSC. I played my Wonder Boy III PCB with no issues yesterday.

It even looks pretty good for LCD, really needs some scan lines though.

I went to try my jammafier today and to my surprise the new New Namco Noir cabs dont seem to have a 3.3v power supply. 5v, 12v and 24v but no 3.3v. I looked at the schematic sure enough the Tekken 6 cabs had them but not the new ones. Has anyone faced this problem yet? Im sure Ill have to start a thread about this. I broke out the multimeter and checked every single pinout from the 5v, 12V and 24V just to make sure it was sneakingly hidden in one of the three power supplies

That makes them not very JVS friendly, i.e no Naomi - and Jammafier won't work without 3.3V.

Did the tri-sync helper make any difference with monitor compatibility?
 
Ordered a Jammafier, looking forward to experiencing its quality first hand.
Only other JVS2JAMMA device I've ever used was Riverservice's box, it sucked HARD.

Do NOT buy Riverservice JVS2JAMMA!

I used to be happy with it, then came the jammafier, sold it right away, never looked back

I never was, from day one everything felt slippery/laggy.
I always blamed the process of encoding the direct controls into the JVS standard, and believed that all devices would suffer from this unavoidable issue.

Lots of people have told me Jammifer feels great to play with, so I'm really looking forward to checking it out.
Also the official Taito JAMMA Kit is out of production, and the one remaining complete kit I've found was selling for 650$ (no fucking way).
 
Does anyone have a Riverservice converter they could let me borrow? I'm interested in doing a lag test/comparison.
 
@jassin000 no lag experience on my side, I know there are revisions of RS PCB, the latest one has no issue, and also it depends on which IO board you are using. The main difference I have seen with the Jammafier is the way video is translated with the trisync helper.

@twistedsymphony if I still had one I would send it to you sorry dude, but I will let you know if I see one.

It is my intention to use the OSSC's HD15 (VGA) port (set to RGBs) to resolve the 15khz video from the Jammafier.
What I needed was the ability to power using a real JVS PSU and low lag encoding of the sticks/buttons to JVS format.
 
@invzim have you had reports of coin inputs not working on Sega Type 1 IO?

Used the Jammafier last weekend in my NNC and it didn’t register coin drops, still need to update to the latest firmware I must admit, just wondering if this was an issue known?

Will test further when I get to it with some other Jamma boards to confirm
 
Someone a few pages back was having issues with coin not registering correctly on a CPS1 board. The newest firmware build should have resolved this.
