Dear sir,Could you give me the whole file for this IO board?
Namco V329 NA-JV I/O “Multipurpose” pcb (Time Crisis 4 variant)
This is the Time Crisis 4 (Namco System Super 256) variant of the NA-JV multipurpose I/O pcb.
Other variants exist that has the missing transistors soldered on. This PCB, just like the FCA PCB was used for Fighting,Driving,Touch screen, and IR sensor gun games.

Near the last pages is the wiring diagram for the I/O and the LED sensors https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/images/8/84/Time_Crisis_4_SD_Manual.pdf
Thank you very much
I found one of these and it is indeed a game, Battalion. It's a basic maze game but it does take credits, has a test menu, and should have music and sound.
The harness coming off the IO is for controls as it doesn't have a JVS port. I'm not sure if it's digital or serial, but I'm pretty sure it's just digital controls. It does nothing with the LED marquee.
Unfortunately audio doesn't work on mine. It looks like it's missing components. The caps could also be bad.

Apologies for the delay
The only wiring to them is via the 100v from the light. I have on idea how it would be turned on by the game if it was being used by a particular game.

They're for the noir
The first one is a "vs" link and the second one is used for 1p noirs

So I can hook up Tekken 5 DR with that? Is there any manual for this?

Provided you have the normal najv2 io from the back and all the necessary cables that passes through, it's just a jvs pass through io at the end of the day.
If it's jvs, then yes, it should work

Actually I wont play with that, I need to get rid of this, any ideas what price I can ask for this?

They work for the older Tekken games that support JVS, I actually have the VS link pcb set up
the white one is used to pair two JVS boards together for separate VS setups (or pair play mode for Tag 1/2) and the other green version is the standard single player version.
Every noir cabinet has one or the other already. It would only have any value to someone with two or more cabinets that happens to have one missing or damaged. ~$40.
Taken from the Japanese Gun Bullet manualNo, that pic’s great. It has the relay and diode just like I would have expected. I pulled out my multimeter and found that trace that goes under the 48 pin connector is connected to pin 7, for what it’s worth. But, I haven’t found a pinout for that connector.
I can’t really make out what those two boards are in the marquee area. I’d be curious to see the other side of them if you ever have time to snap a pic. Or maybe someone else who ones one of those cabinets knows. Mine is just a conversion; I’m very jealous of your dedicated cab
Edit: I’ve been dying to figure out this mystery, and have been scouring the Internet for clues. I’ve found that pin 7 on the 48 pin connector is “GOUT4”. There is also GOUT0-3 on pins 3-6, which are routed to J106, which @ignignot said above is used for Point Blank 1. I’ve also found that PB1 has a “GOUT” test mode, where along with the gun tests, there’s a “Flash” option that the USA manuals say is not used. My USA PB2 does not have this option, and it’s not mentioned in the manual.
My speculation here is that enabling “Flash” on PB1 with a filter board like yours will cause the marquee to flash whenever a gun is fired. Presumably those two boards in your marquee area are some kind of lighting that are controlled by that relay circuit. But this is all just a guess.
If you’re curious, you could manually trigger or bypass the relay, and see what happens to those two boards behind your marquee.

Thanks, @DRAGONKZ! That scan is super helpful. The manual says that those two boards in the marquee area are florescent "flash lamps". They connect to pin 1 of J104, but I can't make out the description of that pin in the schematic. Pin 2 of J104 connects to the hot AC line. Presumably some action causes RL1 to engage, activating the flash lamps. Nothing I see in the manual shots above describe what causes them to activate.
I’ll read through the rest of the manual with a translator app and see if any page mentions their function.
My cabinet is missing this whole “Xe lamp” assembly, but I believe it’s like what you said, some in game action causes it to light up.
The Japanese “Gun Bullet” marquees are more transparent in the blue area where these lights would go, so the lights probably give a “breaking through the marquee” vibe
You can actually see through to inside the marquee area when the normal marquee light is off, as seen below

Here's a scan of the wiring diagram in the manual - I managed to also purchase one.
The purple and white wires definitely go up to the xenons and it appears to only flash in the attract mode of Gunbullet/Point Blank 1 - i've played through beginner and it doesn't seem to flash at all.

Just for the sake of completeness, parsed from above:
J106 (Parts Side)
1 1P Shoot
2 2P Shoot
3 GOUT 0
4 GOUT 1
5 N/C
6 GOUT 3
7 GOUT 4
8 CSYNC
9 GND
10 +5V
11 GND
12 GND
I haven't checked, but I assume one of the outputs controls the flashing lights in the marquee on PB1?
Anyway, cheers for the pinouts. I wired a Point Blank 2 board recently and the pinouts made it very easy.
