anyone else..
looking for plug and play

[CheffoJeffo]

There are a couple of plug and play options to run Nintendo boards in JAMMA cabs, but I haven't seen one that goes the other way.

About as close to plug and play as you're going to get is to remove the innards from the one side, drop in a normal CGA monitor, power supply and JAMMA harness.

Otherwise, you have to deal with the difference in voltage (Nintendo ~ 100V), video inversion and amplification (Nintendo is amplified off-board, JAMMA is on-board) and wiring harness (I am assuming that you're running a Dualsystem board rather than two Unisystems). I don't think it is as clean a solution as you are looking for.

If I were you, I'd grab a different VS kit to replace the Dr. Mario.

[RayB]

And what he means by that is that you can replace "cartridges" in that Nintendo system. Perhaps there is another game you like better (ExciteBike?). That's your easiest solution.

[CheffoJeffo]

Yeah, that's what I meant ... replace a handful of socketed chips (no soldering) and presto! New game.

would like to replace it with dk jr.   where to get the chips???

[CheffoJeffo]

There's the rub, it has to be a VS game.

And I usually find my VS kits on eBay.

Are you talking a Vs Dual cabinet?

Are you talking a Vs Dual cabinet?

yes sir

Remember that if you make one side Jamma, you will have a bar rolling through the picture on both monitors. This is due to both monitors having their yokes so close to each other and no longer running from a single CPU clock source.

is there any way to shield against that

Hello, I'm new to this site as well, though I have been lurking here for about two years now (I'm not one to say much) I don't have any experience with these VS systems, however I did a quick search on ebay and quite a few things came up. Shorten Those Links!
The only places that I know that you might find these on occasion other than ebay is
Quarter arcade http://www.quarterarcade.com/Default.aspx
Mikes Arcade http://www.mikesarcade.com/arcade/
arcadeshop http://www.arcadeshop.com/

I have bought from mikes arcade and arcadeshop before and both were good to me. I noticed on ebay at the moment there is a castlevania chipset for sell and a hogans ally and also a vs light gun.. personally I would put one of those in there as those are really fun games. Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes, it was detailed in a very old Star Tech Journal issue. You need to install a heavy LEAD shield plate between the two monitors and connect a cabinet frame ground wire to it.

would this be a start??
