First new thread!!!
I have an Atomiswave-based sit-down racing cabinet. Since Atomiswave is JAMMA, I was wondering if I could throw a different JAMMA-based racer in there and have it work? Probably not, I'm sure, but I wanted to see if anyone else had done so.

Bump.

is it an original atomiswave? im guessing original hardware since you say its jamma.
as far as I know, there are only two racers for atomiswave, Faster than Speed (fun but nothing special) and Maximum speed (boring imho) and those two should be interchangeable on original atomiswave hardware. There was a 3rd unreleased game called chase 1929.
if you mean throwing another system in there that used jamma than i dont see why not. That was the point of jamma. you would just need to the pinout diagram.

Well afaik jamma only covers a joystick and 4 buttons jamma + adds some more unified pinouts which are NOT standardized, but I'm not sure if there's a such thing as a jamma compliant racing cab.
Now there's JVS (jamma video system) but honestly considering it incorporates usb devices, I'm not really sure how interchangeable games are despite the claim that they are, thus why I didn't reply.

Atomiswave is JAMMA, it's not JVS I/O compliant. It does use the JAMMA edge connector but it also utilizes the Atomiswave I/O expansion board I know this expansion board has wires for the force feedback PCB (which is a standard Happ FFB board)
I THINK it also uses the expansion i/o that for the driving controls but I'm not 100% sure I'd have to check to be sure.

There is a guy on KLOV who has done what you want to do... it sounds like a complex setup though:

I would think the biggest challenge is force feedback... for instance San Fran Rush is JAMMA also but I highly doubt it's plug and play.
