HELP: Old arcade
« on: September 11, 2014, 07:16:45 am »
Sorry if this has been posted before. I'm a total n00b when it comes this thing, Im totally new to this so I dont know where to start

My main objective:
1. restore my Tekken Tag tournament arcade (see pics)











2. Create a custom cabinet like vewlix


Links:

http://customvewlix.blogspot.com/2012/11/half-v4-kraylix.html

3. Add PC mame/xbox360/PS3 inside it

4. Use sanwa parts stick - must be able to use the controller for my TTT (jamma?), PC, xbox360/ps3


Question
1. Please help me identify if my arcade is jamma

2. Do I need custom pcb ps360+? Honestly I don't know the main purpose of this pcb. Basically I just want ONE arcade stick for tekken tag, pc and xbox360/ps3.

3. Initially I want to build my own arcade stick and buttons. Can use modern sticks like qanba, hori madcatz and expect it to work for my tekken tag? I've read that some of the sticks I mentioned are  modded meaning its already compatible on PC/xbox360/PS3. The pic below seems to be a good idea, the owner bought an arcade stick instead of assembling his own. Not sure though if it will work/compatible on my old tekken machine




Thanks

Hey there! the top machine is jamma and looks quite cool, a lick of paint and it will look great!
It's standard jamma so anything will work in there, the tekken tag pcb has the wire hacks on it so i'm guessing that the jamma harness has the neogeo 'button 4' so swapping pcb's will be easy!

The ready made joysticks won't work straight away they have encoders in them for whatever console they are for. the way to do them is rip the insides out and wire it directly to jamma.
I'd forget that idea for the jamma cab and service/replace the original controls.

As for building your own, the ready made sticks are ideal and will make life a lot easier!

Hack or Restore, always hardcore.
