Help needed adding buttons to my control panel

(1/2) > >>

spman:
I'm new to this whole thing, having just gotten my first cabinet a little over a month ago. Currently I have a 4 Player Konami Sunset Riders cabinet which is wired for 4 joysticks with 2 buttons each. What I am looking to do is modify the control panel to add a start button, and an additional action button for each player. Can someone give me some help on what the best way to go about doing this is?

Currently the Jamma harness isn't wired for additional buttons, so would it be easier for me to start with buying a new harness, or can I just wire the one I currently have? Can someone give me a step by step of the parts I will need, wires, microswitches, connectors, buttons, molex connectors, etc that I will need? What is the best way to drill the nescessary holds into the Contol Panel for the buttons? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

well, what are your intentions with this cabinet?  im assuming that since you are adding buttons, you are planning on installing a mame pc.  is this currently a working cabinet?  do you have a functional monitor in it?  we realy need mroe info.

bkenobi:
Pictures wouldn't hurt either.

No, it currently functions with no problems, I play Sunset Riders and TMNT on it with no problem by switching the PCBs. I would like to play some other games on it however such as X-Men, NBA Jam, WWF Wrestlefest, Double Dragon, etc. which all require either a start button and / or a third action button which my cabinet currently doesn't have, so I want to wire some additional buttons onto the cabinet for this purpose.

I'll post pictures when I get home later

Thanks
