This is the good shit I've been after all this time, people who know EXACTLY what they're talking about. Of course my luck (as with most of my oddball projects), Zoids is one of the wacky ones, no controller support and JVS required.

From research, some 2X6 games allow for the PS2 controller ports to function, and my original plan was to adapt a VO Twinstick via Retropad32. Yes I'm fully aware it's dangerous, was a quick hack job for testing, that cable is probs gonna be trashed. Defor and I are chatting about that...

I don't mind modding the controller, looks like the sticks are wired to a microboard. No different from my previous project, a tabletop cab using an Original Xbox and an X-arcade trimode board. I don't fully understand what you are trying to convey here. If you read above, we've already found...

Yes it's been cleaned, that was one of the first things I tried. You say all that as if one conveniently has all those game drives/dongles on hand. Magnificent! He's using the exact controller plan on using. Thanks! I'll poke him there.

How about a scan? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aWUWnFDxXFp6qQwq2CjjWoLntTbGfNnJ/view?usp=sharing

Check the photos of the cab assembly manual and wiring diagram I posted, I did not snap a photo of the assembly with the JVS board but I assume that the wiring diagram should be enough relevant information to work from. I know in the assembly the JVS board connects via USB.

That's the same information I came across. Already tried with the ribbon cable attached, no change.

Hang on, just so I'm clearly understanding this. The Jamma boards I have WILL work? Not necessarily a branded "JVS" board? As I've seen those to be totally different boards, and some connect via USB. The partial vagueness of direct answers I find between research and people trying to help, have...

With everyone I've spoken to about this PCB, everyone is still 50/50 on if it requires a JVS board or is Jamma acceptable. If JVS only, is there a reliable source where I can obtain 3? I saw Twistedquarter has 3 different 200w PSUs, are there any notable differences? Side note, the final goal is...

Pretty sure I remember reading that the ribbon cable was for connecting to Jamma controls. I plan on using the PS2 controller connection. Hmm, if that's the case, which of the 3 they provide would be sufficient? ALSO, if I could power the PCB directly, as opposed to through a Jamma board, that...

Only thing I haven't tried is a different jamma loom, but I don't believe that would change much, since I'm within power range.

Test all 3 units powered up for 10min, no boot.. Psu 5.04 -4.30 12.06 Cable from jamma board 5 5 12 Hdd 4.32 12 Not exactly what I was expecting when checking numbers. I've read that -V isn't required, but some games do supposedly need it, like Zoids. Tried kicking the voltage up so the hdd...

Which size battery do they take? May have some in storage/can grab when on the road, just in case.

Through testing in the past, I did notice that tweaking the 5v does change the speed of the Jamma blinking. That local arcade's Jamma board in Tekken5 was also blinking, so i thought nothing of it at the time. A bit later today I'll check boot times/tweak 5v, anything else?

I'm pretty sure I've had all of them sit for more than 5min to wait on boot-up, but I can give it another shot. Pretty positive all the voltages were correct, but I can check those again as well. Do these blinking lights mean anything important? On the 246...

If the media file is bad, will the 246 output anything at all?

246 C, HDD, Zoids Infinity/ EX /+ I get the 6 dings via a connected amp, but no video output. All 3 behave the same.

[Cross-posting this from Arcade Museum] I have 3 possibly damaged 246 PCBs that I can't get to start up. I'm getting fan spin and lights on the boards, but nothing else happens. No beeps/pings/error codes I've read people describing, tried every dip switch configuration. Using a Twisted Quarter...

Hopefully if this IS a lack of power, I can eventually get this project moving again. Does anyone have experience with this suggestion? If my current harness doesn't have the correct wiring, is there one that you'd recommend?

There was no difference between booting with/without the PS2 controller connected. The Retropad DOES work with the Saturn Twin stick, it's a regular Saturn controller with a different button layout. Software can remap that easily. Playtested on my PS2 console running the Zoids Infinity home...
