Hey im kind of new to the hole arcade thing and I have run into a problem. I have purchased a 4 player cabinet with the game atomic punk 2 ''global quest''. apart from the jamma harness there are 2 connections ''3p'' and ''4p'' both with markings on the pcb of cn4 and cn5. My question is regarding the compatibility of this game with the simpsons arcade. Currently I have  hooked up the game with the jamma harness and i get distorted picture and sound. The slots where the 3p and 4p would have labels cn6 and cn7 and are longer. What can i do to get my game working? If it matters my game is currently wired to take a quarter from ethier coin slot and you hit a button over the desired character to play. Any help would be appreciated.

Konami pin out for players 3/4 ("3" shown below for player 3):
1 Coin 3 Violet/Stripe
2 Empty N/A
3 3 Player Left Red/Stripe
4 3 Player Right Yellow/Stripe
5 3 Player Up White/Stripe
6 3 Player Down Blue/Stripe
7 3 Player Push 1 Brown/Stripe
8 3 Player Push 2 Orange/Stripe
9 Empty N/A
10 Empty N/A
11 Empty N/A
12 Empty N/A
13 Empty N/A
14 Coin 3 Ground Black
15 CP Ground Black

The grounds all go to the same place (ground), so you can wire 14/15 however you want, or not even use them at all if you don't want too. 

WARNING!  These are 2.5mm connectors, not 2.54mm connectors.  (mertic vs custom) and I had to buy a TON of them to get the correct ones.  (Most min buys are 200, but I lucked out with 154 as that was all they had left instock!)  The only other places without min buys weren't in the US and charged a ton for shipping.  PM or email me if you are interested in pair of connectors and contacts (no wire, must be assembled).
