Title: Questions on Wire Selector Harness for X Men 4 Player Konami Machine
Post by: parpunk on March 03, 2010, 02:36:04 pm

Hey guys. i had a few easy questions for some of ya>

Objective>> I want to be able to switch between 2 possibly 3 different boards in my X Men 4 player Konami Cab. Preferabbly Simpsons 4 player and the TMNT 4 Player. All with the simple push of a button that i will attach to the control panel front.

Questions>
1. What do i need?
2. Will this work? http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm (http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm) 4th one down?
3. That adaptor says it will allow 2 different games, is that including 2 new games plus my x men board? or do i plug in the xmen board and then other. So i basically have 2 boards/games to play?
4. What about the 6 slot adaptor?
5. Also is this machine even a 56 pin? Or am i totally looking in the wrong place?
6. Another question thats off this topic, but i need to replace the cooling fan/powerbox thing in the back of this arcade. I looked all over the NET but cant seem to find one just like it. It makes a horrible noise and dont spin hardly at all. Any ideas?

Any help would be great. Im very new to stuff like this, but i know you guys know your stuff. thanks!

My personal choice for a JAMMA switcher is Clay's MultiJAMMA kit (http://www.multigame.com/jamma.html) (it's what I use for what you want to do). I heard he is back making them again. You may need to tap the -5V if you got the route of using PC power supplies.

Yaton's 6-slot will work with some modification for -5V (it doesn't switch the -5V), but gets poor reviews for reliability. I haven't heard anybody say anything about the 2-game version (and it is a true 2 games). Mike's Arcade also has a 2-game switcher that receives great reviews.

A quick search on the terms "JAMMA Switcher" and "MultiJAMMA" will get you more information that you probably want.
