j-pac????
« on: January 09, 2009, 09:45:38 pm »
ive decided to use a j-pac for my control interface due to the jact that ive aready wired up a few jamma cabs. i was wondering if anyone had any trouble with these. im assuming that the TEST and SERVICE wires would be pointless. anyone have input on these?

also...i was really wanting to run some console adapters...can i use the i-pac just for the adapters,and tie them into my controls on my CP?

They are not useless at all.

Test and Service are buttons in an arcade machine that do exactly that.  You should leave them wired to the relevant buttons in the cab so that if you ever decide to unhook your JAMMA harness from the J-pac and to an actual board then they will be correctly wired.

Otherwise, they are just extra buttons that can be used for anything in MAME.  I would still wire them up the same though.
