Hi I have mounted a monitor in my cocktail cab and ordered my 60 in 1 jamma board. I have an arcade power supply.
My questions are. Is there a way to wire the LCD screen up and Jamma board to one plug socket or would I need to Plug.
Also is there a wiring diagram to wire the jamma board to power supply.
-
Just use a PC power supply and hook up your LCD to the board's PC monitor output.
-
Jamma wiring (http://www.jammaboards.com/store/jamma-harness/prod_146.html)
The above shows the jamma connections for power and all others. Your 60 in 1 board can be connected to a standard 4 pin power connector and does not have to receive power via the jamma connector. As RayB said a PC power supply and your regular VGA connection is the easiest way to go.
-
The half arse way that I did this in one of my megatouch machines was to run an extension cord inside the cab, then plug the monitor & power supply into the extension cord.
I'll admit it's a bit ghetto, but there is only one cord coming out & it looks 100% OEM. ;D

Thanks guys think I will get a PC power supply. AT or ATX?
Cheers
Darren
-
ATX.
Can you still buy AT's? :dunno
-
Can buy anything on flea bay LOL
-

Yep, brand new from Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%20600014008&IsNodeId=1&name=AT). I prefer them because there's no dicking around with jumping pins to turn it on. Just flip the switch and you're done.
-
I already have 2 ATX psu's would an AT work best then for 60 in 1 jamma! also 2 arcade psu's lol
-
Nah, if you already have spare ATXs go ahead and use them. Just follow the guides (can be found here in the forums) on what pins to jump to turn them on, etc.
-
Hi I can't seem to find the guides? Would it be easier just to buy an AT power supply
-
Quick answer, bridge pin 14 to GND.
Long answer [here (http://www.gideontech.com/content/articles/196/1)]
-
So the end that usually plus into CD roms etc plugs in the Jamma? and when I ground pin 14 the PSU comes on when I flick the main switch.
-
Got it in one :cheers:
-
YEAHHHHH LOL. Cheers Franco :cheers:

Hey wait I thought you can't just use an LCD with a jamma board? I thought the 15hz to lcd/pc monitor won't convert, and you need a rga to vga adapter?

This is a 60 in 1 board. It can output VGA, hence the LCD.
-
Oh ok so these newer XX in 1 boards already have VGA compatibility? Anyone know if the Lost World Jurassic Park jamma board can do VGA? I haven't received it yet and searched around on the game history websites but they dont have any data on it?
-
Apparently the model 3 boards have a VGA connector but are not vga out. They have less res then required by vga but the electrical levels are the same. LW Jurassic Park is a light gun game and requires LED emitters around the screen but their manual does not give specs on the projection TV used.
-
so does that mean i'm out of luck as far as hooking it up to an lcd or projector? I know i need to get the sensors but just wanted to test it out.
-
Sorry off topic... Lost World shows Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz ...that mean I can use it on my tv?? I know Pal is 50..NTSC is 60..am i good to go?
-
I think the game requires a med res monitor or 25K hz. The 60 hz has no relationship to the resolution it just means that it is an NTSC monitor not a pal 50 Hz. Note the K hz in the resolution spec.
