I am trying to sync a taito to my OSSC AV3 and was wondering what parts I would need to order for my 8 pin mini din.The HD15 adapter is only useful for two groups of people...
1) Folks that have a PVM/BVM and what the simplicity/ease of a single VGA-to-BNC cable
2) People that need to use the VGA-in port of the OSSC to sync a Taito F3
If you are not one of the above two groups, you don't need HD15, in fact I recommend you steer clear of it (and other adapters, looking at YOU PS2 HD Retrovision whatever BS).
For reasons of compatibility, the OSSC syncs the majority of PCBs from the SCART port, 75ohm (not TTL) unprocessed sync (more so than buffered or regenerated)...
So what I recommend is a 8pin mini din to Euro SCART cable for everyone else, be it OSSC, xRGB mini or even SCART-to-Component CRT guys.
Where do I find the 8 pin mini din Scart, Scart to BNC, and BNC to DSUB15?
I am based in the US if anyone has recommendations.
Edit 5/9/19
Can I use one of these with a scart gender changer instead of the BNC's ?
Also the wiki states that on the Dsub 15 "TTL-level csync to pin 13 of DE-15 connector"
Is the csync line already set up for pin 13 on a passive conversion or do you need to reroute the csync?

If you are going from Taito F3+HAS to OSSC what you need (all you need) is a 8 pin mini din to HD15 (commonly/incorrectly referred to as VGA) cable.
Something like this (in-line adapter)...
Or this (HAS expansion hat)...
You do not need/want SCART (F3 won't sync via SCART) or SCART to BNC (only PVM/BVM users want that) or or BNC to HD15 (let's not go crazy here, no one wants/needs that).
In addition to the cable, you'll need to set jumpers #17 and #18 on HAS (TTL and Buffered sync).
Then adjust the pre/post coast setting to 4 in the advanced menu of the OSSC and be in mode AV3: RGBS (the first/default mode is AV3: RGBHV).

I'm using the Adcap but have been on the waiting list for a bit for HAS and they share the same mini din connector. I wanted to prepare for my order and fix my current gun at the same time for the taito multi.
That's great to know that I don't need to adapt from scart and just ordered the 8 pin with headphone breakout.
Do you know if I need change csync to route to pin 13 on the d15 or does the din csync already route to pin 13?

No idea, it would depend on how its wired internally of course... But please stop with the BNC stuff, I already told you... You want NOTHING to do with BNC.
Look at the adapters I posted above (I edited my post too).
Yes as I said you need to set the HAS to TTL and buffered sync.
In VGA (31khz) land pin #13 is H-sync and pin #14 is V-sync... The adapters job is to connect our sync to pin #13 only (leaving #14 unused/unconnected, the RGB+ground pins are the same).
As I said above, this mode is called AV3: RGBS (Red, Green, Blue, Sync @15khz) and NOT RGBHV (Red, Green, Blue, H-sync, V-sync @31khz).

I'm getting my PCB an acrylic case. They want to know the height of it and on what height I want my PCB to be from the ground etc. Can someone measure the height of HAS's JAMMA connector to the ground? I would like to get them to fit nicely so that HAS and my PCB case would be on a same height when it comes to JAMMA connection. Made a picture to clear my question, that is HAS and it's JAMMA connector 
My picture shows the measure to the bottom of the JAMMA connection, but I would need the height from the middle of the connection to the ground.
And if some one could measure the total height (ground to top plexi) as well, I would appreciate!

Would be awesome if there is built in USB decoder inside, So that you can just play it straight away without the need to hook any extra adapters.
Just a sneak peek of the newest HAS version. The batch is nearly finished, shipping will happen in June
but then you’d be stuck only using USB controllers. The current connection gives the most flexibility for different set-ups.Would be awesome if there is built in USB decoder inside, So that you can just play it straight away without the need to hook any extra adapters.

Remember, not all arcade games only use joysticks and buttons. There are plenty of other types of controls like spinners and rotary, etc. Right now it’s easy to wire your arcade controls to the DB connectors. If you were stuck with USB decoders only you’d be eliminating a lot of arcade game options.

Awesome! Any change you could do the measurements I asked earlier? Just the height from floor (or table) to the middle of the JAMMA connector and same with floor to top of the plexi case?
