My First Project - Metal Slug X/Jamma MV-1B/25" KTMB to MAME Conversion
BobA:
Good thing it is only a one slot since you ended up with a jamma cab. You will definately have to add an ipac to the pass thru if you want that many descrete buttons. You can get alot more buttons without an ipac but you have to use the shift key on the jpac to give the buttons a second function.

Bought my trackball, buttons and joysticks last night off ebay. All Happ products. Got a good deal at about 15% cheaper than the Happ website, so i'm pretty happy about that. Also bought the Tmolding and am currently ordering the marquee and CP overlay that looks like this one: http://www.robboweb.com/mamecab/gallery/imagepages/image14.htm
The monitor I have has the RGB plug, so I am going to splice it and connect it to the VGA amp and first try using soft15khz and see if works. If not, will buy the ArcadeVGA.
Also, I bought the wood to start designing the Control Panel and just purchased the buttons etc.. so wanted to have them in hand for measurements of the trackball, etc..

Bit the bullet and decided to just purchase a Arcade VGA card from Ultimarc. Also bought the Arcade Monitor Amplifier and breakout cable. I am trying to figure out how to wire my arcade monitor to it. My monitor has RGB E VS HS and the colors are red/black brown/black Blue/Black White/Black and White. Theres no wire going into the VS slot but the colors match to RGB E HS.
Also, I bought my IPAC-2. I will be starting on designing the CP starting sometime this weekend - in the meantime, ill be trying to figure out how to wire the Monitor to the PC.
