The Jpac, the buttons, a jamma harness, and some extra wires for buttons 4-6, since those buttons are not on the jamma harness.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Do you actually HAVE your JPAC yet?

If not, wait until you get it, it is labeled.

yes, I do have my Jpac

- I was wondering where the button wiring went on the jamma connector.

Since I am a 2 day old 1st Jamma cab owner, please take my guess with a grain of salt.

From what I have been reading, the buttons 1-4 should be already wired up to the Jamma Harness.  This funcitonality will be carried through the JPAC to the PS2/USB already.

Since the Jamma harness can only supports the 4 buttons, the extra 2 buttons have to be wired directly to the JPAC to be sent to the PC.

I think this post was more for my knowledge than anybody elses :D.  Can someone confirm this for Gique and I?
