I was looking for some guidance. I am building my first jamma based system, its a cocktail with a "special jamma board". The board is arriving today & will have several games this is for my wife. My question is I have built mame machines using the bitstrip, & motherboard to power the machine on/off. How do you guys setup the power on/off with a jamma not sure how to do it since a motherboard is not involved where I can hack into the wiring. 2nd question I assume their are pinout instructions in the wiki for jamma I have never wired one before. thanks for everyone's help dm |

Sounds to me like you are basically building an "arcade" machine. Simplest and best tutorial I know of: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/acwiring.html Basically the JAMMA board is power from the switching power supply, the monitors power comes off the isolation transformer and the AC for both is interrupted by a single switch. EDIT: forgot to add a JAMMA pinout link. http://www.coin.demon.co.uk/jamma.htm |

This board i am receiving is powerd by a computer atx power supply, if that helps dm |
| Kevin Mullins:
Ah.... one of "those". Same principal though. Just a matter of tapping one leg of the AC supply and take it to a switch. Exactly how you do it depends on what else you have in the cab already. |

yah its one of "those", I just starting to mount everything, I am going with a lcd this time so i think the machine should turn out pretty good dm |
