I have been working on some easy to understand guides for some other users on how to install some different PCB's for Mame systems and Jamma Arcade systems. Thought id post them here in case some one may find a use for them. Ill add more as i make them ...

Nice guides, I am sure they will be of great use in helping people visualize how the I-Pacs etc connect.      How about the mini pac it seems to be very hazy unless you buy the harness.

[mayhem]

Yeh i can do one of them as well... But i have to be real honest its much easer to use a harness. The best way ive seen and used a while back for them is to use a IDE Cable wired up ...

Would some thing like this though is not easy to map out visually.



**Updated** Ill finish it off tomorrow lol .. its quite complex hehe.

Im all pac -Up now need some rest lol .....

Oky im stuck the info for the Spinner isnt correct as its missing the X1 X2 (left and right) yet is wired for GND and some thing else , check out there specs and youll see what i mean on connection 33 and 34 ....

[BobA]

I think that is one of the big fuzzy areas on the minipac.   I have a mini but have not used it yet.  I did not get a harness.

Jamma ASD Updated above and corrected.

If any one has a request for me to do i don't mind helping out all i need is the pin outs and a top down picture.

[BobA]

Great update.  I am sure it will help many other forum members.

[mayhem]

Guides Updated . Mini Pac now in two parts for easy understanding and more info.

[mvsfan]

if everyone could draw diagrams like this it would make things a hel of a lot easier to troubleshoot.

If you could take this and apply it to automotive electrical systems, It would take hours and hours away from my troubleshooting that i almost always get stuck with because when i finally do find a decent diagram, its still ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

everybody likes to make diagram books. When im trying to track something, i need diagram Blueprints with everything on one page.

My experience level:  Novice,  low experience with electrical wiring,  have assembled 1 control panel using IPac and GP-Wiz.

I find this very usefull,  clear and easy for me to understand.  At my level of experience,  this is just what I need to successfully install any one of these with a minimum of hassal.  I feel it is an invaluable resource to someone at my experience level.

Question:  Any chance you're considering doing one for the LEDWiz and/or RGBdrive?

mayhem:

Thanks for the excellent, clear guides.

Any chance the information can be compiled into a PDF document for an easy download, and reference?

Just a thought.

The I-Pac 2 has changed with the latest revision.

The I-Pac 2 has changed with the latest revision.

True.  Most of the boards including the I-Pac, Mini-Pac, and Opti-Pac have changed quite a bit since the OP 8+ years ago.

I just wanted to make sure that the images and pinouts of the old boards were easily available for everyone.
