JVS wiring harness

[Aaronr33]

Is there anywhere you can buy premade harness that has jvs board connectors (analogue and digital). Or even the female plastic connectors that connect to jvs boards.

looking at building a cabinet from scratch that uses jvs controls.

A JVS Wiring Harness is a USB Cable.

if you're talking about the wiring between the JVS IO and the controls. really that's two parts,

1. control panel harness which goes from the control panel to a set of connectors specfic to your cabinet, many people make these. But it's control panel and cabinet specific

2. A Cabinet sub harness that connects the control panel harness to the IO board. These are cabinet specific and IO specific. AFAIK no one makes these, typically because these are considered part of your cabinet and it's not something that ever gets removed from the cabinet unless it was really badly gutted or modified. Nearly Every JVS IO board uses a different pinout; there's no standard for this.

Since you're building your own cabinet you might consider buying a complete harness from another gutted cab that's being parted out. That's what I'd probably do.

Alternatively the cheapest/easiest option would be to buy a JAMMA harness and run either a Sega JVS to JAMMA IO or a Capcom IO

or you could always just crimp together whatever harness design you want.

What is the difference between version A and version B jvs to jamma boards?

Other than the $100 price variance

What is the difference between version A and version B jvs to jamma boards?

nothing AFAIK.

To the best of my knowledge someone mistakenly said that the Rev B was "the one you wanted" and the internet over reacted as usual.

I own both and there doesn't seem to be any discernible functional difference between the two and anytime I've asked "WHY" when someone made the claim of Rev B being better I'm met with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "That's what I heard"
