Keep the JAMMA harness, that makes it easy to hook in a J-PAC.  Looks like the rest can go.

Don't toss it, though.  Keep it around until you know for sure what you do and do not need.

Right still got some wires in my cab and really wanna have a clear out to tidy the beast up and make way for my pc parts. I have a few questions regarding the golden tee game board can this be removed and replaced with a jpac? the reason i ask is because the board is so big and takes up a lot of space and could do with getting it gone.

Also need to know what the dcnb unit is as it has a rainbow coulored wire strip coming out of it and want to get rid of it. the happs power unit will have to stayt obviously as it powers the lights and coin door i think.

And there is a sea of wires which cover the cab i cant even chase back to where they need to go.

Also can a jpac and an ipac be used together?

Im a bit confused as to what to do now Im considering buying a jpac from ultimarc am I right in thinking that this can replace my rather large golden tee board? (see pic 3) as this board takes up a lot of space and all I use it for is to hook up my arcade monitor to my pc.

I have no real understanding of how all the components of the arcace machine work and a recent attempt to hook up my klinston coin door ended up frying my ipac. On the website it states the jpac can now handle coin door support but doesn't say how.

1. I need to know if I can use an ipac and a japc together?
2. How do they work is it as simple as pluging into the keyboard port with a ps2 wire from ipac? if so how does jpac attach to pc?


my main aims are to get my control panel hooked up clear some space in back of cab for pc components and jpac etc removing large golden board and being able to use the klinston coin door as an imput with out frying ipac.

Can you guys please help as im really confused as towhat I am doing at present.

Cheers

Mark
