Does "Player 3" = kick harness?
« on: March 01, 2006, 08:32:34 am »
I searched around for this in the forums, but did not find what I was looking for.  So forgive me if its too simple of a question.

I've got a cab that was converted to a Killer Instinct game at some time.  It has 2 players/6 buttons setup to a jamma harness.

I hooked up the jamma harness to a JPAC, which obviously gave me 2 players and 3 buttons each.  In the harness, there is a molex labeled "Player 3".  Would that be the same as a "kick harness".  I would have ohm'd the pins on the molex to the buttons 4-6 if my cheapo DVOM probe didn't fall apart the other day.  I'll bring my good Fluke meter home tonight, but I was just wondering if this was a common label for the kick harness.  If so, I may want to save the connector on it, incase I decide to put a PCB back in the cab someday.

Thanks a ton, as always,
Stobe

Usually a kick harness is for additional buttons , I had to install one on my mk3 cab.. Without it I had only 3 butons that worked instead of 7

In my case, the cab I have was converted at some point to a Killer Instinct, but the kick harness was labeled "Player 3".  I went ahead and toned out the connector to the buttons 4,5,6 on both players.  So I cut it off and wired those wires into my JPAC.
