Not all of the buttons are wired up in the 6in1. I think the test/service buttons are missing/won't work (among others?)
Good luck.

Can anyone provide a list of pins/buttons not supported/missing by the switcher board? I thought it was just a straight 56pin to 56pin (with the exception of the -5v)
If the switcher does not support these pins, can anyone provide a list of pins supported by the switch?
Can i just 'jump' the pins on the underside of the switcher board as a worst case scenario? What are potential problems?

I got a reply from Tim Hensel regarding this:
The 6-in-1 MultiJAMMA Switcher PCB basically uses a standard JAMMA Pinout with some extra pins: http://www.jammaboards.com/jcenter_jamma_pinout.html
It does not use these sometimes used JAMMA pins: E -5VDC 5 -5VDC J COIN COUNTER #2 (Rarely used anymore) 8 COIN COUNTER #1 (Rarely used anymore) K LOCK OUT COIL #2 (Rarely used anymore) 9 LOCK OUT COIL #1 (Rarely used anymore) 15 TEST SWITCH
It does not use these pins which standard JAMMA does not use either: M N/C (Not Connected) 11 N/C (Not Connected) S TILT (SLAM) SWITCH
Extra pins it does use that are not standard JAMMA are: c Player 2 Button 4 25 Player 1 Button 4 d Player 2 Button 5 26 Player 2 Button 5
All other pins are normal used and follow the correct JAMMA pinout functions.
You can wire in extra wires for other microswitches/functions similar to how the -5VDC is wired except if wiring to more than 1 slot then you would need to put a diode (such as a 1n4007) between each slot JAMMA pin and the main edge connector of the 6-in-1.
Example If you wanted to connect extra buttons to PINS 11 and M for two slots:
SLOT 1 PIN 11 *------|-------* (Pin 11 of main edge connector)
SLOT 1 PIN M *------|-------* (Pin M of main edge connector)
SLOT 2 PIN 11 *------|-------* (Pin 11 of main edge connector)
SLOT 2 PIN M *------|-------* (Pin M of main edge connector)
***The diode is needed to prevent the other installed PCBs to interfere with the selected board.
I hope this information helps!

While I appreciate that Tim took the time to respond and provides more useful details than anybody else has in the past, any appearance of the term "rarely used anymore" in reference to arcade equipment is just damned silly.
::)

Well, I guess that depends. Arcade machines themselves are becoming rare. But I digress. Lol.

;D
The point is that describing JAMMA pins as rarely used anymore, particularly meters (which aren't tied to boards) is kinda silly.
