Are all Jamma Harness the same?

(1/3) > >>

Mark Thomas:
I am going to replace my current jamma harness but not having any experience with these things am worried I may buy the wrong kind of replacement harness. Can anyone let me know if they are all the same? Iv seen a few on eBay but won't order just yet.

BobA:
All jamma harnesses are the same but there are some small differences such as jamma plus that needs a kick harness or neo geo which is somethimes true jamma and other times a bit different. Overall a jamma hareness with get you there as long as you are aware that some boards have slight changes or additions.   When buying a jamma harness make sure it is labeled in english and you are 99 percent there. The ones that are labeled in Chinese are alot harder to work with.

In short if you need a standard jamma harness the it is the same for all machines.  Make sure the harness you get follows the standard for power leads as they are of a lower gauge (bigger) than signal wires.

Mark Thomas:
Thanks for the quick reply I will be using the harness with a Jpac unit.

Which of these EBay finds would be most suited?

They all look like cheap, partially wired Chinese crap to me.

I'm not even sure if you can buy decent JAMMA harnesses nowadays.

I make mine from scratch.

Unstupid:
Prewired jamma harnesses are great... don't even think about trying to wire your own... As far as differences go I did run into 1 difference that messed me up a little...  I ordered a jamma harness from jammaboards.com and the connectors on the ends that were to connect to the joysticks had .187 quick connects, but all the buttons had .110 quick connects.  This sucked because all my pushbuttons were happ competitions with .187 microswitches.  The Harness I bought from paradisearcadeshop.com had .187 quick connects all around.
