So what you're saying is they removed the feature where it shows that a post has been edited, and how many times?!?!

i have a jamma fingerboard that I notched, but did not key the connector I put onto it. I use this for boards that are not keyed. I'd rather put on an adapter for an uncommon situation than have my pcbs unprotected during the majority of the time used.
coincidentally it also works well for a lot of the korean cabs that have ever so slightly thinner jamma harness connectors. on them, a lot of standard board won't even insert.

Oh I didn't notice that, but yea I guess so then.
These work great! I use them myself. (I use the ones on Thingverse, which are basically the same)I use those 3D printed JAMMA keys on all my Jamma harnesses for this exact reason. Never flipped it, and I never want too.

This version is much better than the ones that sink into slot 7. It's very easy to pull out if needed.
Get a buddy with a 3d printer to make them, they don't cost much to make.

I've done it a couple of times but have been lucky enough to not cause any damage both times. I'll be printing off some of those keys as obviously i don't always pay quite enough attention
Done it twice myself, both times while deliriously tired. First time I was hosting a meet and it was about 4 am, and I forget what board it was, but I had a MAK rapid fire unit hooked up on a Supergun. Knew it was bad when I heard something hit the wall. Yep, blew a transistor off the rapid fire unit, but got it fixed and it still works. Another time I had got home from work and dinner super late, but wanted to try out the board I just got. Plug it in and see the voltmeter look all kinds of screwy and was like OH CRAP. That board was Double Wings, but it is still ok. I finally just took my label maker and put TOP on all my harnesses. Idiot proofing for my own sake.

Mike Arcade sells both types of notch keys.
I've done this myself and said never again! So I use them on each jamma extension as well as the main harness. And if a board I own doesn't have the notch, I make one.

Not to bump an old thread for no reason, but I did this recently on a Korean Geostorm and it came out pretty good (board is filthy gross and has all sorts of cosmetic damage but works perfectly).
Started with a razor knife and then finished with a saw and carefully scored the last inner bit before twisting off with pliers.
