Jamma help

[jaharr01]

Hey is this right? I have never messed with jamma boards. I just wanted to make sure before I wired it up. I didn't want to fry the board, and It didn't come with very specific directions.The board was labeled in Chinese. I started to order Rosetta Stone Cd's for Chinese, but I figured this was easier.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO




see where the label says "key" ?  Thats where you put the gap, you have the jamma connector on backwards. ANd I think you have the labels wrong too.  But the power ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- always goes on the section of the edge connector thats smaller

Like THIS -- Notice that way numbers on label match numbers on board (ie. 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. !!)

Well $hit fire and save matches, I would have F'd that up royally . Good thing I asked. Hey, one more simple question. This seems obvious, but my arcade instincts have failed me already tonight. The cabinet set up will have one joystick, 2 action buttons, and a player 1 and player 2 start button( for turn taking games), and a player 1 and player 2 coin button. I would only hook up player one joystick and action buttons correct? Leave everything player 2 off except, player 2 start and player 2 coin correct?  Dammit

Okay I have a few more questions. I got it wired up and it's working. I was wondering about setting up the games. Some of the games are grayed out and unplayable. I was reading in the manual it was talking about dip switches. Are there dip switches that are changed on the board and in the set up menu also? I never read anything about enabling games.Are there individual dip switches in the menu that enable each game along with setting up difficulty levels and such? I just wanted to make sure that there are no physical switches I need to flip on the actual board or do I do everything from the service menu. The monitor is in the correct position and i have a test and a service button.

In the software menu you can enable/disable individual games.

Most of the current boards (YMMV) have a single 4 bank dip switch (physical) on the PCB that controls Screen Orientation, Display Mode, High Score Saver, and System Mode (Normal,test Modes)

The rest of the dip switches are software switches not physical - these are set by going in to test mode (either by using the Dip switch (physical) to enter test mode or booting with the Test button pressed (the various menus and settings are in the Manual - ( LINK http://www.koceraj.hu/Koceraj/Mi_ez_files/60-in-1_Arcade_Manual.pdf ) on pages 3 and 4.

Got it. Actually very easy to set up. It would be nice to have some of those game adjustments such as amount of lives,free play, and level unlocking in mame. Thanks for the help

THose are available just like in MAME -- Once you get the system setup - rather than pressing the setup button to exit - press the Test SW button to enter the DipSW setup for each game !! (IT is on page 4 of the manual I posted earlier for you !!  )

And the available settings for each game are pages 11 - 32 of the same (you might have missed them since it first goes through the screenshots of the games on pages 5-10 ! )

how the hell do you get to them in mame? I did it on the jamma board?

Tab menu under Dip switches settings (most of the games are the same as the options on the 60 in 1 boards ie notice in the screen below the 60 in 1 settings and dip switch settings in mame tab menu)

[Ken Layton]

It looks like your JAMMA connector has the labels on the wrong side of the connector. Appears the parts side label is on the solder side and vise-versa.

Thanks Ken I have since fixed that. I have the board up and running. really easy for the most part.
