Light gun games, jamma board swap?
« on: January 07, 2008, 03:21:56 am »
If this has been covered, let me know.

Just wondering if I bought a light gun game (Police Trainer) would I be able to swap out the jamma board for some other light gun game, like Lethal Enforcers 1, 2 ? Or even Area 51 (tho, I think that was machine gun?)

Thanks!

Area 51 is a traditional light gun game.

You can usually swap the JAMMA pcbs easily, but not all gun connections are the same, so you will need to verify the pinouts/connectors and obtain/build adapters where appropriate.

Examples can be seen here:

Also, keep in mind that that Lethal Enforcers 2 doesn't use a Standard resolution monitor.
