There might be a 4 pin plug for switching between amplified and non amplified audio.  See if you can follow the speaker wires from the JAMMA connector and see where they go.

My Blast loom is not the 001 either, but it worked fine for JAMMA audio out of the box.  It doesnt have the plug to swap between JAMMA or internal amp.  Rather than buying the expensive 001 loom I'm just adding the parts I need.  When I first got the cabinet I added RCA plugs to the amp for consoles.  I've got a picture on my website with an explanation.  I bought the pins from Andy at AGS.

I'm currently adding the power plugs for JVS games so I can remove the Dreamcast and add the Naomi I recently picked up.  The Naomi side of the plugs and pins I bought from Digikey, the pins for the Blast end came from AGS.

Don't forget the easy stuff like checking to make sure the volume pot on your game board isn't all the way down.
BurgerKingDiamond:
you know, I was just looking at your site. I saw the part where you added the RCA jacks, thanks!

I'm not at home so I can't check at the moment but I don't remember seeing any plugs to switch for Jamma.

are those special pins that I can't just buy at Radio Shack or something?

can you give me the pinout of those pins 31-34 that you mentioned?

My Cab had the Stereo Input wires for the amplified sound connected here:


From: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=800673&sid=da5f5d8bcb45ed113079e67ec7f945e4#p800673

The pins are numbered this way:
______
|33 34 |  
|31 32 |
|29 30 |
..........

33 AUDIO_GND (-)
34 AUDIO_GND (-)
31 AUDIO_L (+)
32 AUDIO_R(+)

It was wired for JAMMA mono so:

33+34 to SPEAKER (-) JAMMA
31+32 to SPEAKER (+) JAMMA

As a quick and dirty test  you could probably push the JAMMA speaker out wires into the audio connector and get some sound.
Turn the cabinet’s volume down first though.

I wasn't able to find a US supplier for those pins.  They are called 'JST RA' pins.  AGS and Giz10p in England are both well known and good to deal with.  Shipping isn't as bad as you would think, and both are usually quick to ship.  I don't see them listed on the AGS website, although that's where I got mine.  I contacted Andy via email and he was very helpful.  
Here's a link to the pins on giz10p:

By the way, my apologies to dgame for clogging his thread!

A little digging shows that Digikey does have a listing for the pins, although none in stock.  Only 2 cents each, but I don't know how many you'd have to order to get them to stock it.

When I needed the 8 and 6 pin connectors for the JVS power they didn't have the 8 pin in stock.  I tried to order 2 and the website showed it would take 2 weeks to get them in.  I went ahead and ordered them and they did show up in 2 weeks.  Now they show over 2,000 in stock! 

I plugged in 1000 pins and the results showed N/A for a time estimate. I then tried 8,000 and it showed an estimate of 10/16.  I'm halfway tempted to order them and resell to folks in the US.  With the growing numbers of imported candy cabs I wonder how long it would take to get a return on the $183 'investment'.
Current exchange rate shows .14 each when ordering from Giz10p, so even selling them at .10 I'd need to sell 1830 to pay off the investment.
