jamma+ kick harness TMNT kanomi players3/4
runawayabc123:
I got the kanomi players 3/4 kick harness for my TMNT board and the connector doesn't fit on the pins. On the connector, the ground hole is a little too close to the next hole (it isn't evenly spaced like the rest), infact none of the pins line up great to the hole. They just don't match perfect. I got them from jamma boards. Not impressed. I also have to create my own ground extension as they just included one quick diconnect on the end of the ground wire for it. Should have made my own, totally not worth it.
Do I just encourage it to go on? Or should I cut my loses before risking my TMNT pcb?
Side question: my TMNT game's screen says TMNT, but I saw a picture on ebay of one that was TMHT (H for heros instead). What is the deal with that?

I think Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles is what they were called in Japan.
EDIT: Nevermind, found this on wikipedia:
--- Quote ---Upon TMNT's first arrival in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Austria, Germany, and some other countries in Europe, the name was changed to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (or TMHT, for short), since local censorship policies deemed the word ninja to have excessively violent connotations for a children's program (in Ireland, however, the first season aired as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" before changing to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles").[34] Consequently, everything related to the Turtles had to be renamed before being released in these nations (comic books, video games, toys, etc.) The lyrics were also changed, such as changing "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens" to the "Splinter taught them to be fighting teens."

Didn't realize "ninja" was such a dangerous word... ::)

I forgot to add, the quick disconnects didn't have rubber covers either. (Unlike the pictures of all of the other extra harnesses... the kanomi one didn't have a pic.)

Went to a local radio shack and computer parts store. Couldn't turn up any other options as they had nothing (I was hoping for a bunch of 1 pin connectors). :(
I emailed jammaboards; we'll see what they have to say.
Any other ideas?
MonMotha:
The Molex 0.1" KK series should fit on to the PCB side connector just fine, and it's readily available.
