My first post! I'm very happy to be a part of this forum. A lot of very talented people in here! Ok...so I picked up a Galaga cocktail that I've slowly been restoring. In the process I decided to convert it into a multicade. Bought new control panels, joysticks and a Galaga to jamma connector. Game boots up and everything works great! For those of you familiar with Galaga, the joysticks are only wired to go left and right. There is no up and down! How do I wire up the joysticks to have up and down functionality? Keep in mind I have zero experience with any sort of electric work so if you have tips, please explain in simplest terms possible. Please also tell me which parts / tools I will need and where I can buy them. Thanks in advance for all your help! |

Welcome! First off, do your joysticks have 4 microswitches each? When you say Galaga to JAMMA connector, is it an adapter that would allow you to put a Galaga board IN a JAMMA cabinet? I haven't seen any converters that allow you to put a JAMMA board IN a Galaga cabinet. |

The kind that allows a jammaboard to work in a Galaga cab. Purchased from lizardlickamusements.com. New joysticks are Ms Pacman style 4 way with 4 microswitches. |

Which one exactly is it? I see a couple on their website, but both are Galaga to Jamma, and not the other way around. |

It appears they no longer carry it. It looks almost identical to the Ms Pacman version pictured here: Http//:lizardlick.com/images/parts/adapters/j2kon.jpg |
