oh man, famous last words  :D

why would you jinx yourself like that

skyblast:
I know huh?  Shi% is never easy.  I about clacked both arms making my first mame... I'm using my cab right now.  Using my trackball as a mouse.  So worth the struggle

wweumina:
Small tip that may seem obvious. I'd plug the 60in1 in first and see which way the monitor needs to be rotated.
You may be able to flip it in the dips, but not sure.

nexusmtz:
On many monitors, it's way too easy to accidentally swap H and V instead of flipping H and flipping V, and doing it wrong will likely kill the monitor.

A 60-in-1 flips with a dip, or, since you have to physically turn the monitor anyway, just turn it to match the board.

That said, please think about the moral and legal aspects of 60-in-1 boards (or even MAME machines) before you bring one into a school.

CheffoJeffo:
+1 to plugging in the 60-in-1 before you rotate the monitor.

That way you'll rotate the proper way and not have to flip the yoke wires, which is what I think the repair guy was talking about. The only reason that I can think of to even consider flipping the yoke is if there is some physical contraint and you can't actually rotate the monitor to the proper orientation (since there is no such thing as a "horizontal monitor" or "vertical monitor" other than occasionally the frames that they are mounted in -- the wiring is all the same).

The MVS looks like a one-slot, which is JAMMA, so you don't need an adapter or to make any changes in the harness. The pinout that BobA refers to only applies to the 2-slot, 4-slot and 6-slot boards.

Important note: Configuring the 60-in-1 boards is best done using TEST and SERVICE switches, which may not be wired in an MVS cab. I understand that it can be done without them, but I never got it to work that way, so I always add SERVICE and TEST switches.
