Arcade-Projects Jamma extension cables

Everything arrived! I created a test assembly with 1 small issue - I ordered an incorrect ATX cable.
Thankfully I only ordered a handful of each cable for testing purposes. I have now placed an order for the correct cables and can begin assembling these.

My test unit is already in service at my arcade:

I know this is pretty old, but did anyone release a version of this with the added 6 pin connector? And does anyone know if Frank has a donation / ko-fi? The minigun supergun is really nice and I've made a few. Might make a couple more and would like to donate something to him.
 
@Frank_fjs extender cable did me well for many years but recently I have been working on an update. There were a few things I wanted. As I typically use these in a multi multi situation I wanted the ability to carry a kick harness, the kicks condensed on cable and voltmeter mounts. With enough pins to look at also carrying a DS multi selector at some point in the future.

The initial plan was to just update Frank's extended but I could only find gerbers so that plan went out the window. Nevertheless it is heavily influenced by franks design. Still playing around with it but this is how it looks atm. Final version I'll make in black soldermask with an ENIG finish.

Frank (or someone else) actually did update his extender for kicks. I have the gerbers somewhere because I ordered the blanks and made a few for myself that I still use.

Not trying to discourage you because a lot of people will be happy to have your solution available.

Here are a few pics of his updated design just for shits:

Hey folks! I'm in need of an extender cable. Does anyone still have one of Frank's cables for sale by any chance, or recommendations for an alternative?
 
I know it's been a long while. Life took a 180 turn that made me reprioritize life. I have the next batch all soldered and made (I make the custom length IDC cables) for the custom ~36"(~91cm) extension cables. These are same ones I made a little over a year ago. Just had a hard time getting to them. This will be the last batch though cause I can't order any more of the main ATX-type custom cables at the moment due to the shipping restrictions many stores in China has to the US. I still have a list of DMs I'll contact to see if they are still interested after all this time. I know I will have some leftover even if everyone in my list wanted theirs so let me know. I think I priced this last batch out to around $80 each cause the cost went up slightly in the 2nd batch when I could order them.
And just to refresh everyone on what this cable offers:
This is Frank's PCB design; I just made it longer and designed a custom shell
36" length
Voltage readout that's been tuned.
custom 3D printed shell to house each end of the cable
