| Super Pang Jamma pcb no keyway |

Hi Guys, My Super Pang bootleg pcb just arrived, it was advertised as jamma and working 100% so was hoping to just throw it in my machine and it would work, but there is now keyway in position 7, is this normal? I don't have any spare edge connectors, is it ok to just make a keyway in position 7 with a file? Also I've only ever had the one pcb, should the new pcb just work or will I have to mess with the monitor pots for horizontal hold etc. Thanks, Chris. |

Looks the same as my super pang booty and can confirm it works plugging it into a normal JAMMA connector. Mine does not have a key installed though but I would not want to go taking a file to it personally. Maybe just take your key out? Or use a adapter with no key if you dont want to do that. Just make sure you plug it in the right way around! If you figure out what dips do what though let me know because I have no idea lol |

The top left section of your picture is the Audio circuit, and that orange dial is the pre-amped volume pot. I usually set the board's volume to about half way, then adjust it from there in my cabinet while it's running. For Video, you'll always have to adjust the horizontal/vertical positioning and scaling. Not all games output the same video resolutions or sync signals, so there is always going to be some tuning when you "convert" your cab. |
