Any way to make a JAMMA switcher? To swap from JPAC / CPS2?
« on: October 03, 2007, 08:24:44 pm »
I'm wondering if there is any way to make a switcher of some sort, similar to a KVM switch for a PC.

I'm wanting to have my JPAC running to my computer for MAME and also have my CPS2 Super Street Fighter 2 X connected with the ability to flip a switch or something and change between them.

I'm thinking theres got to be a way to wire this, but my wiring skills are rather mediocre.
http://www.jammaboards.com/store/jamma-adapters/cat_1.html  These guys have numerous jamma connectors for sale by themselves, including one kit that includes a male-male jamma extender.

Has anyone ever attempted something like this?

Yeah, I've scoped out those multijamma boards before but couldn't make out from their pictures if that would work right . 
After inspecting it a little closer and scanning that thread it looks like it should connect up just fine with their connectors.
It sounds like I would have to kill the power supply every time I wanted to swap to the JPAC.  Now, to see if I can figure out a way to replicate that for less than 180 haha
