Neo Geo MVS extra buttons.
Vandammes:
Same here, I googled and found nothing, the blue elf 2 and the transformer 2011 both have capcom fighting games and are for the neo geo mvs, but it seems that the neo geo mvs is not cappable of utilizing 6 buttons.
Lets say I mame(ed) my neo geo mvs, what do I need. Just a jamma to pc converter to connect my pc to the neogeomvs? No need for a RGB VGA converter etc???
Thanks guys.

JAMMA doesn't support 6 buttons (actually, it doesn't really support 4 buttons, but exceptions are made as there is room on the harness). Any JAMMA game with more than 4 buttons is going to use an extra (kick) harness.
If you were to use a JPac, then the extra buttons can be wired directly to the JPac (bypassing the JAMMA harness) just like you would on an IPac.

That's not strictly true. The Atomiswave system uses 5 buttons and they all work from the JAMMA edge, Ad and 26 are used for button 5.

I recenctly found out that button 5 does have an effect on some MVS games, bizarrely it pauses Garou: Mark Of The Wolves.
As far as actually controlling games,, I can't see anything over four buttons working. If you are sure that you cart has 6 button games then it must either use a kick harness or some kind of bizzaro button combo.
Which cart is it by the way? I know a few people who know a fair bit about the various multicarts and I may be able to find out some further information.

Franco,
It's called a "Transformer ultimate edition 2011" contains a lot of street fighter games.
Back to connecting a pc to my neo geo mvs :), I really do not want to destroy the neo geo 4 slot. I just want to connect a pc to my mvs and emulate only neo geo games on it and maybe some SF games. If I sell it later I want to just disconnect my pc and still be able to sell it as a genuine neo geo cab. (Except for the 2 extra buttons that (as i just learned of cheffojeffo) I can connect to the j-pac.
What do I all need to connect my pc to my neo geo mvs.
What I think, please correct me if i'm wrong!
- J-pac
- Soft15khz (if my videocard supports it) or a ArcadeVGA
- A PC offcourse.
But then Im confused how do I connect the J-pac to the MVS? You can't just plug it in a MVS slot right?
Thanks guys for the replys
