Title: Hi. 1980s taito cocktail
Post by: murpha123 on November 20, 2013, 06:05:24 pm
Hi. Not sure if this is the correct section to post this question. But I have an 1980 taito Phoenix table that is running a game called Cosmo Police Galivan, I was wondering how difficult would it be to upgrade the wiring to jamma? I don't want to run mame or anything but I do want to be able to swap game board out easily to play other different games and jamma boards are much easier to get.
Thanks in advance.
Dave.

Good enough section for me... :lol

I used bob robert's guide when I was starting off:

It's really not that hard to wire it to JAMMA.

How's that game in there? Is it any good?
Sell it to me before paigeoliver gets in here... >:D

I've got a Combatribes board.  Who wants to wrestle me for it?

Make it three and I'll throw in a Dualshock 4.  Nothing I love more than standing in line at at the post office for an hour to lose money!

Thanks OPT2NOT had a look and I will be using that link you provided. Yeah the game that's in it is very good but everyone else who sees the machine says. " oh do you have pac man" haha so peer pressure is a ---smurfette---. Thanks again. Dave.

Hey you're welcome Dave. My only other piece of advice is when you buy your JAMMA loom, avoid the cheap chinese-made ones (they usually have a Black connector). The gauge of wires used on the power-lines aren't thick enough...which I guess you can solder you own replacement wires, but why bother when you can buy a better one. I go for the ones made in Japan (mostly comes with a blue connector). Sanwa brand is pretty good.

Good luck!  :cheers:
