Title: Where can I get or how can I build a Jamma connector cheaply?
Post by: slapaham on March 04, 2009, 05:47:25 pm

Basically, I want a lead that runs from the 56 pin connector on my supergun to the connection on the pcb - my supergun board is fine plugged upto a pcb but I would really like a bit of flexibility rather than having them stuck to each other.

I don't want to pay much for a solution and I like to avoid soldering if I can... I live in the UK but don't mind importing a solution if needs be...

You need a jamma extender harness which is plug in play. I don't know about UK shops, sorry. I usually order all my jamma related harness parts from these guys:

Im sure theres a UK online shop that has the same item.

Try ebay. When I owned a Supergun there were a couple of dudes offering conversion connectors and extension harnesses just like that.

Thanks people!

I guess I've just have to keep a lookout! It seems like it would be a sensible option as yanking the supergun board around doesn't seem like a good option (when I say 'yanking', I'm, of course, as careful and gentle as I can be ;D but an extender would certainly make things easier!)
