DARKSOFT Multi JVS v1.0

Wanted to create a post about playing Powerstone 2 on a New Astro City with three other players. I read a post earlier in this thread about how this is only feasible with the Capcom I/O and so I wanted to post about my setup.

I am feeding JVS inputs for players 1 and 2 to the NAOMI through the wonderful TD-IO and daisy-chaining the inputs for players 3 and 4 through the MultiJVS. Having the DB15 ports on the MultiJVS means players 3 and 4 can use a stick on their lap while seated around players 1 and 2 on the control panel. This was all plug-and-play and a great way to enjoy Powerstone 2.

Thread 'Pre-order: Multi JVS v1.0 new batch'

This is a thread to get on the wait list for the next batch of the Multi JVS. I will leave this thread open for a month to gauge interest. Afterwords I will do a pre-sale and order the necessary parts. If all goes well I would expect to deliver around December.

Price should be similar to the last batch but I'll be able to confirm once I get an idea of how many we will be producing based on your expressed interest.

Please express your interest below.

My Multi JVS works great in my Sega Net City with any real arcade hardware that I've run on it (Naomi 2, Namco 256, Chihiro, Ringedge 2).
Firmware v1.2.7,
Default I/O (3.0),
Default Profile.

However, I am having an odd problem when I try to hook a PC with a JVS-PAC 2 to the Multi JVS as only the Player 1 controls work in linux or windows.
Working: P1 Joystick, P1 six buttons, P1 start
No Inputs: P2 Joystick, P2 six buttons, P2 start, Coin

The JVS-PAC 2 also recognizes the Multi JVS as "Unknown I/O OK" on its screen and needs to have the JVS cable plugged and replugged to recognize sometimes.

>According to the log file, the jvs-pac is not able to properly initialize/communicate with the IO board, only intermittent, so I'm not surprised you're having issues. >When working the JVS-PAC should say "Sega Lindbergh OK".

I troubleshoot and found that the JVS-PAC 2 works correctly with a Sega Type 1 I/O.

Anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
 
I'm not sure. TBH I don't even know what a JVS -pac is. Is invzim the creator? If he wants to research I could send him a test unit maybe.

Maybe something WinterIsComing could address but he hasn't been here in a long time and didn't answer an email I sent to him a few months ago.

Maybe someone else has an idea. I've only used these with real arcade hardware.
