Cabinet rescue and JAMMA question.

[lloydclinton]

Hello everyone!  I purchased a cabinet from a recycler and we have just started the process of turning it into a Mame cabinet. 

Here are the pictures:  https://picasaweb.google.com/williesamwillwyatt/ArcadeMachine?authkey=Gv1sRgCJeN3q_OwLWhFQ&feat=directlink

It is going to get paint, a new marquee and some new side art.  Here is my question... As you can see from the pictures someone got a little solder happy... I don't want to replace all the switches and I'm not real handy with a soldering iron... is there a way to figure out how the wires go into the Jamma harness so I could cut them and stick them in ipac?  Many thanks in advance for the help!

Since a jamma connector is a standard you can expect the wires to be connected to the connecter as per this chart.  The colors however are not always standard.  Jamma  In my opinion it would be easier to just rewire the buttons and joysticks since you are going to connect to an ipac.

+1 to BobA's post.

Unless you choose to use a JPac, which plugs directly into the JAMMA harness and would be my first choice in this situation, you are likely best to rewire.

Thanks for the quick replies!  I have a bag of buttons and joysticks around here somewhere from my first build.  Just have to find them!  Anyone have any idea what game this cab originally was?
