Description
Allows you to use your UPL Nova 2001 arcade board in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.
Nova 2001 is an 8 directional shoot’em up and appears to be inspired, at least in part, by Robotron. It was developed by UPL, a subsidiary of Universal Entertainment, and released in Japan in 1983. In North America the distribution was handled by the parent company, Universal.
Unlike Universal’s PCBs which often share a similar pinout, UPLs pre-JAMMA game pinouts are all unique. This adapter therefore, works only with this one game.
