Wanted: Scan of Simpsons Bowling manual
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:02:28 am »
Hi.

The net is full of manuals for Simpsons, the game. But there is nothing when it comes to Simpsons Bowling :(

Did anybody scan the manual, yet?  If so, may I have it? Is it available for dowload somewhere?


Thanks :)

Thanks guys. I saw the manual and the price indeed is great. I just need the pinout of the 7-pin connector. I assume it's where the trackball is connected to....or is it connected via Jamma connector?

I have manuals from ebay for star wars and terminator 2.  That seems a fair price. You should get it. Who knows what you might need it for later.

Could try sending the seller an E-mail question and see if he responds  (though he might just respond with it's in the manual if you buy it  :laugh2: ) but never hurts to give it a try !

I think I should explain my 'closefistedness' and why I only need the pinout ;)

I bought a cab with a trackball....I assume it used to be Golden Tee. It was changed to Simpsons Bowling with a set of marquee, instructions and wiring...and of course the pcb. I got the cab not working and found out that the pcb is dead, unrepairable. I tried the game on my mame test cab and thought it was boring. So I searched for a better game and was pointed to World Class Bowling and to Shuffleshot. I liked the latter very much and so I bought a PCB in USA, did some artwork (controlpanel and marquee) and now it is running. I'd like to insert a jamma switcher and add World Class Bowling to the cab. But then I would need a 2nd cable for the trackball signals and there is the original (Simpsons Bowling) harness still inside the cab. But it's 6 pin and WCB's connector is 7 pin. So I thought I could make an adapter if I knew the pinout. But, silly my, I can still trace the wires and see where they end in the trackball connnector ;)
