My PCB rack is done.
Here is a shot of it in the cab but not secured yet.
The player 3 and 4 condenser board will be mounted above the rack.
I thought I was going to have to pin about a bazillion dupont connectors for this project, but it turns out they can be purchased at a reasonable price.
There stereo sound connectors on the multi PCB are all 4 pin dupont headers. Same with the stereo headers on the PCBs. 4x12 = 48 pins.
The P3 and P4 controls on the PCBs are each 15 pins for the Konami games and I haven't even really looked at the non Konami pin outs yet. Right now that is 2 Konami games. 15x4 = 60 pins.
I have 2 other 4 player PCBs right now. Assuming they are similar to Konami that would be 60 more pins.
If you add all of those pins together....you have some kind of mental problem. It is a lot. Especially considering I already need to pin the molex headers for the CP connections.
For those of you who are good at counting, yes there are 7 slots in my rack and only 6 slots in the multi PCB board.
I did that for positioning. some of these arcade PCBs have and auxiliary sound PCB. They take up more space so I put in an extra slot to help with positioning.
I am going to slap together a temporary control panel so this thing will be playable for my arcade party later this month.
