postmortem:
I have an MK2 arcade and I want to get an MK1 board and some kind of switching system so I can press a button to switch from part 1 and part 2. I had a few concerns..

1. whats the differance between the Y board and the T board for MK1? will I have a problem if I have an MK2 and an MK1 Y board in the same switcher? It has something to do with the kick harness. I think the Y boards were different or something. Kinda need an expert.

2. Can I use the same sound board for MK 1 and MK2, or MK2 and MK3? Or do they all have different sound boards?

thanks!
MXV:
All 3 games used different boards, MK3 had no separate sound board, it was all on one board.

I don't know the Y and T stuff but you can easily just make adapters for the kick harness in your cabinet. I have a dedicated MK3 machine. MK2 board just plugs right in there and the kick harness functions the same, ditto for MK4. For MK1 I have an adapter for the kick harness so it matches what the board wants vs how the cabinet is wired.

Talk to Malenko...  I think he has 4 MK's in one one cabinet.

What MXV typed is correct. Both the T and Y boards are logistically the same, a JAMMA edge connector and the kick harness is all you have to worry about.  The kick harness for MK1 is the odd man out, its the same for MKII, MK3/UMK3, and MK4. There is a way to wire it up at the same time using resistors.

Also, you need to wire up the -5vs
