it's the stand up fusion ion ,  from what I see on eBay it looks like the same style chord that is used on the counter top ion
the circuit board has the buttons on it, but they are not used it uses the arcade buttons and the chord i have jumpers to the arcade buttons ,
my board has the chord from the joystick with a black plug on the end , I need the extension from the black plug to the white jst to the I/O board

i might have the schematic for the ioboard that shows the pinouts for the joystick connector. I will have to dig it up.

I have that , I found it online the I/O board jst pinouts...  I don't know what it is on the joystick side is..  I'm missing that joystick extension wire
   I have a tabletop aurora , but I don't want to take it apart to trace out the joy stick wires right now , I will if I can't find that wire ...  I would like to find the chord
I got this stand up ion for free, it was all in pieces , I got it all working and got the software installed I have the 2009 dvd's,  I have it almost all put back together , I still have to install the touchscreen with doubleside tape to the lcd ,   I'm going to give this one to may dad

Im pretty sure Aurora uses a different cable/connector then Ion evo, not sure about fusion.

yes they are different , the aurora the joystick is by itself , the button and the led's,  it has 3 cables,   I can trace it out from the pots on the joystick to the I/O pins and buttons,  I will do it if I cant find a cable

I highly doubt you will find anyone with a megatouch that has a joystick cable, let alone a Stand up fusion joystick cable to sell, or give away, but good luck.

I found the pinout in the Ion technical reference manual
the pins from the jst to the molex is just 1-1  2-2  3-3  etc
so I will get the connectors ,crimpers and make a chord
I should have ohm out the chord that is on the joystick to the molex , giving myself a headache for no reason
