Convert Super Mario Bros to Jamma
« on: May 23, 2015, 02:41:12 pm »
Helping a neighbor out and looking to put a JAMMA 412 in 1 in a Super Mario BROS cabinet.  Looks like it has 2 different connectors vice one JAMMA?  Is there a converter or just as easy to gut it and start from scratch?

Probably better to leave the existing wiring alone and grab a new JAMMA harness.  They are relatively cheap and simple to install.  However, I believe the Nintendo monitor has an inverter board in there so you would need to mess with that to get JAMMA games to work with it.  Assuming you have a Sanyo 20EZ in it.  (That's beyond my scope of knowledge on how to achieve this though).

Alternatively, you can use a Nintendo to Jamma Adapter instead of a new JAMMA harness, but it costs more:  https://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=NIN2JAMMA


P.S. - What are you planning to do with the old harness?  Do you still have the SMB boards?  I'd be interested if you still have them.
