Post by: mrclean on November 06, 2008, 01:34:16 pm
Looking to purchase 3x

.187 quick disconnect male, that branches off to two female .187's almost like a "y" adaptor so to speak. or really mini daisy chain.

the attached photo on the bottom is from jammaboards.com, i basically need the oposite of that, but with longer wires maybe 2 ft between each female

I gotcha.  Why don't you just rewire it for about a buck?  Remove the old disconnects, strip back, add wire, crimp in?

i really don't want to do it to begin with but this way i won't be messing with the jamma harness etc i feel like it should be working without having to do this maybe not though i have no idea i have a feeling that line c002 is most likely for "cocktail" mode

You're not messing with the JAMMA harness, you're just splitting the input.  It's dead easy, and you can be up and running in about 1/2 an hour if you're slow.

You can most likely buy the wire, connectors and a pair of crimpers locally for less than the cost of shipping pre-made ones from elsewhere.  Head to Fry's or your local equivalent.

And if you don't know how this is a damn fine way to learn.  Low cost, no danger of breaking anything.  If you want to have arcade games this is something you need the ability to do.

Yep -- either rewire those three buttons (best recommendation) or make the adaptors yourself.

What these guys said. Buy yourself a crimper and DIY. It's a skill you'll probably need sometime in the future.
