MV1f supports stereo through a 4 way header.

Additionally though I've read on the shmups forum that it can support stereo through the jamma harness as well according to frank_fjs. But im not sure if its like the 2 slot/4slot/6slot stereo.

HAS V4 has a JAMMA/MVS Stereo Switch (#22 according to the pdf manual).

If I switch it to MVS will I get stereo through the jamma connector? Is it safe? I know when I connect a JAMMA board I need to set it back to JAMMA or risk blowing an amp. Just asking as it would be ultra convenient if it does work. Or would I leave it on jamma and switch to stereo switch on the mv1f board? Does this only work on your minigun?

I have a MV1F I think, but I haven’t figured out anything with it. I don’t have an enclosure so I don’t like it taking it out.
 
I have an MV1F. Stereo only outputs through those 4 pin headers. If you're sending the audio signal to an amplifier, use the headphone header. That mono/stereo switch controls the headers. You're only going to get mono out of the jamma connector. I think it's only the multi cartridge boards that are able to output stereo via the jamma edge since it uses a slightly different pinout. That said, making a 4pin to headphone jack connector is really easy. The best part is the audio quality is superb and has far less background noise than an AES.

That's certainly not the case with MV1F.

The switch alternates between mono and stereo output from the jamma edge. The header is fixed stereo.

Thank you.

It doesn't make sense when you think about it. The 4 pin header is a dedicated stereo header, it's entire purpose is to supply an external stereo output. The switch has no affect here.

The switch controls audio from the jamma edge, mono or stereo, standard jamma or slightly modified MVS pinout.
 
So if I switch the stereo switch on the MV1f board to stereo will I get stereo out of my HAS V4 supergun through the jamma connector?

Do I need to flip the HAS V4 JAMMA/Stereo switch as well to be safe like the 2/4/6 slots that are wired for mvs?

I don't wanna burn out the amplifier.

Has anyone here screwed their UD USB decoders into the HAS supergun? Wondering what size you used (the manual says DSUB screw locks with 10-11mm screw length but that's for the Saturn adapters - is it the same for the UD-USBs?)

I was thinking about that the only thing is I left it at home back in the states. I wonder if their PS2/PS3 version will work?

it does not. I forgot exactly why. @RGB. ???
 
Sorry, I a bit confused here, which adapter doesn't work with what cable exactly?
 
Yes, if you install the Viletim's component video add-on, you can use PS2/PS3 Component cables. Without the add-on you need the HD Retrovision’s PS1 adaptor and their Genesis component cable. The latter might be a better option, because it doesn't require soldering and you can use the Genesis cable with other consoles, too (using HD Retrovision’s adapters).
 
I missed the boat on ordering a HAT that allows component video on my HAS, do you ever plan on making more? I know the PS2 connector won't be an option anymore but wondering if you had an alt in mind.
 
if you get a quality scart to component transcoder, the results are the same, just a less “pretty” wiring set up.
