Connecting Chewlix to pc

[Mordheim]

Hey! Recently acquired a Chewlix. It's a very good copy of a vewlix. Looks almost identical to my friends real vewlix. Anyhow, I want to connect it to my pc but need some help or tips if anyone has done something similar.

I want my gaming pc to still be under my desk like it is right now and connect the chewlix to the pc via arcade button encoders and a hdmi switcher so i can switch between the chewlix and my pc monitor.
Has anyone done something similar? I have no clue how to set up the speakers for this, as I want to use the speakers in the Chewlix when I play games on it.

Thanks! /Mordheim

Oh, and the chewlix came with Jamma instead of JVS

your chewlix should have an amp with 3.5mm connector. You can output from your pc to it. you can even have "Y" connectors to have 2 sets of output / speakers if you wanted to keep lets say your desktop speakers sometimes.
You'll need a Brooks fighting board or something similar, like the https://misteraddons.com/collections/arcade/products/reflex-encode-fighting-board, to link your PC to your buttons.
for your wiring, there are probably other options but since I know these amp universal connectors so much (and since I have them in stock), here's what I did:
The jamma was connected to the buttons. I cut that out and place a female connector for player 1 and for player 2

I mapped 2 brooks board to the same female connectors ( and a bit more (the greys) since there are 8 buttons on my control panel)

my joystick and buttons have the male connectors so I can choose to plug them either in the brooks or the jamma connector, shall I ever want to use it ( I have not since I have 7 jamma CRT cabs)

brooks boards output USB, to your PC of course.

Hoping this helps

Thank you SO MUCH!
I just ordered two brooks boards and extra long usb cables! This post was so helpful. Can't wait to set it up this way.
