I was told elsewhere that I could just setup a jamma switch and keep the original board as well as use mame.

Heh, I think I read that first sentence there and then just shut off my brain! :dizzy: So I had it in my head that you were pulling the plug (ie ditching) the Tekken board and moving it (ie playing it) in mame.

Ok so I guess I have a few questions here.

First, if I order the j-pac like i've been instructed.  http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac.html  I see where I would hook my monitor from the pc, and USB to jpac.  But 1.  Where does this card plug into? and 2. Where would the controls plug into?

Second I guess depends on the first question though,  If I get a jamma switcher, I'm assuming I would plug the Jamma board from Tekken into say, slot 1, and then would I plug the J-pac into slot 2?

Malenko:

1, the card plugs into the jamma harness which is what the buttons are wired to, the other end you figured out.

2, yes.

Just so I'm not missing anything,  Do I need to buy something extra for this?  Basicly The machine has 5 buttons and a start button for both players.  I will probably add a 6th button and possibly a coin button to each player.  The extra two per player your saying I can wire in the j-pac, but that leave's 3 buttons for the kick harness, so I guess I need to figure out what this is and or if I have to purchase it.
