Connecting WG D9500 to JAMMA?
« on: August 14, 2009, 08:49:41 pm »
I'm converting my Ms Pac MAME cocktail to JAMMA and an Arcadeshop Multi-Game JAMMA board.  I have a new WG D9500, which I have been using with ArcadeVGA and the VGA input for the D9500 (which works perfectly).  But now I'm a bit concerned about how to connect the basic JAMMA monitor outputs (R,G,B,G,VertSync) to the D9500.  Honestly, the WG documentation for this monitor isn't terribly complete.  And my JAMMA experience is skimppy (but I know have several hours of internet searching on this topic under my belt!   :scared )

Any thoughts?  I've linked to the connector diagram and schematics below.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!

Use the PCBA connection.

Pins 1-Red, 2-Green, 3-Blue, 4-Ground, 10-Composite Sync

(could also use 8-Ground)
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

I'm trying to get the same thing working in a jamma cabinet with no luck.  Did you have to do anything else to get this to work?  I'm using a JROK multiwilliams board as a test case.  If I get vertical and horizontal sync directly from the board and use the vga connector on the d9500, everything works fine.  If I use the 10-pin PCBA connector and use the composite sync off the jamma connector, the d9500 syncs, but I get black video.

Any ideas?

Nevermind.  Figured it out.  If anyone else has problems with not getting color using the 10-pin connector on the d9500, make sure that the main board is connected to the neck board directly instead of having the vga cable that comes with the monitor connected to the neck board.
