Pre-order: Multi JVS v1.0 new batch

[Rafo]

I'm interested in one or two of these boards for the next batch, but I'm confused about the price : what is the price for each board now ? It says "it should be similar to the previous batch", but without stating it clearly.

Price for each MultiJVS is still $150.

OK count me in the next batch.

Yes. It was connected to a Naomi and powered using the power connectors. Maybe you can only swap profiles after the JVS has made contact with the pcb. I can check this later.

I'm able to swap profile now. Previously I copied "sd card contents" folder instead of just the files to the root folder of sd card.
I tested the Multi JVS with a Naomi2 motherboard and working good. I tested with a beat 'em up game with a neogeo controller and a driving game (I connected the Multi JVS pcb with Sega JVS Helper pcb connected with a modded Dreamcast wheel controller).

I'm trying to use the Multi JVS with a Maximum Tune 3 driving Japanese cab to connect to Naomi motherboard but the cab is using FCA IO pcb instead of Sega IO pcb so I can't connect the cab directly to the Multi JVS. Is the only way to connect the cab with the Multi JVS is to adapt the FCA IO pcb 60P pinouts to the 60P and 26P pinouts of Sega IO pcb? It would be nice if the Multi JVS can accept input from FCA IO pcb via a USB connector.

The multi jvs was designed as a direct physical replacement for original sega IOs.

The usb ports on the original IOs were for daisy chaining IO pcbs together. The multi JVS can't do that. The micro usb connector on the multi jvs is only for programming or updating the Atmega2560 chip.

To replace the Namco IO you would need wiring adapters to change the pinouts.

Interesting, I didn't know I can daisy chain sega jvs io together. How does one JVS IO daisy chain to the other? Is it from CN4 of a JVS IO to CN5 of another JVS IO?

 

[skusuma]

Do you know if there's already someone makes this wiring adapter?

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Not t

Do you know if there's already someone makes this wiring adapter?

Not that I know of. It shouldn't be too hard to make them as you don't have to adapt all 60 pins.

Is this still in pre-order? I'd like one please, or if not put me on the list for the next batch.

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Sent a PM to everyone who is on the list for the next batch for payments. If anyone else is interested please contact me.

 

[Breakaron]

Interested in the next batch!

My box with the parts I ordered for this nex run finally arrived after being semi-lost for three weeks. I've got a few units about ready to ship that just needed LCD screens. The rest should be ready in a week or two.

I have gotten a nice size batch of Multi JVS units assembled with their SMD parts and have gotten the bootloader and software loaded into the Atmega2560 chips in the last two days. The Atmega chips were good which is always the biggest worry so I am pleased. All that is left is to solder the through-hole stuff and test!

All remaining pre-paid units will ship this week! Ill contact you each for shipping costs.

Also i will have 15 extra units for sale for anyone else who wants one!
