The two pads next to the switch button and jumpers are for another switch (to switch to the next game). It's intended for people who want to wire an arcade button to the DS-18 for a button on their control panel with all the other buttons.

Thanks JammaJunk! I'm having fun with it. I'm glad this got into doing a project as well. A jamma connection for a Genesis would make using an existing cab very easy to setup. It's a great idea. I'd love to hear about it as you progress. Just a heads-up: After I got my DS-18 I noticed that...

Progress is slow as I've been doing other things too. But I've been working on a mount to hold mini marquees and I've had some custom mini marquees/posters printed. When done, this sheet of plexiglass will hold the mini marquees. I also have a sheet of MDF cut to the same size of the...

Thank you! I'm going to try and properly mount the EL panels and then do the wiring again to make it all a bit neater. Thank you for all the help!

OK, I've made some good progress. I now have working EL Panels that cycle with the selected game.

nam9, you're amazing. It's like you're waiting to pounce and help out at a moments notice 8) So here's my guess. Is my diagram below correct? I've marked what I think is power to the LED and what I think is Ground. From the top of the Kiosk I see a trace going to the leg of each LED which is...

OK, it took some time to get the needed parts and life stuff also kept me away for a while. I'm now getting to the point where things start to get real. Here's a look a the hardware. Genesis (Powered by wall outlet) > MegaKiosk (Powered by Genesis) > 8 Channel Relay (Powered by MegaKiosk) >...

A while ago now I ordered an 8 Channel Relay, 8 EL Panel's and an inverter to power the EL Panels. @nam9 you've given me a lot of help. Thank you! I'm looking forward to being able to try this out. No doubt when I have all the parts I'll be back with a few more questions :)

Hey Nam9, This is so great. Thank you for taking the time to create this diagram. I do have a question and I'm going to feel silly asking. At some point I'm going to buy an EL Inverter and it will have two wires coming out of it. Does one of these wires daisy chain to each EL Panel and does...

Thank you Nam9! I wasn't sure if the amount of power powering the LEDs on the MegaKiosk would be enough to power the Relay. In that case what am I wiring to the G and VCC pins on the Relay? Are they needed? Update (Removed Relay Power):

So here's my first attempt at mapping out how to connect all these components. I'm not at all confident that it's correct. I'd love to hear your advice.

Thanks guys! Extremely dangerous? I was surprised to hear this. I'm guessing this means if not done correctly there a chance I'll damage some of the electronics involved? Or is the risk more physical like shocking myself or causing a fire? I watched these videos to give myself the basics of a...

Hi all, I'm looking for some help with a custom arcade cabinet I'm trying to build. Some background info: The MegaKiosk DS-18 by Will Gentry has inspired me to build an Arcade Cabinet for my Sega Genesis. (Yes, a Flashcart would be less work, less money and offer more games but below is the...
