There’s been barely any time to work on new designs but I’ve made some progress. The following new adapters have been designed and are in prototype stage at the moment:
- Nintendo Cabinet Adapter – to play JAMMA boards in your DK upright or other cabs.
- Nintendo TKG3 Cabinet Adapter – to play JAMMA boards in your DK cocktail.
- Nintendo TKG3 to TKG4 Adapter – converts TKG3 (small) DK board to TKG4 (big) pinout.
- Taito Grand Champion – for the Taito driving game.
- Taito Buggy Challenge – for the other Taito driving game.
- Cinematronics Ataxx – for the trackball Cinematronics strategy joystick / trackball game.
- MCR Cabinet Adapter – play JAMMA games in your Midway MCR cabs.
These have been completed and tested and are now either available for sale or soon to be released.

- Atari Liberator – for the Atari trackball game.
- Artic Mars – the the uncommon Artic game that is not a bootleg.

- Sega Gremlin VIC / Dual – For games like Invinco, Head On 1/2, Depth Charge and many others. Both Black and White and color games will be supported. Early prototype.
Probably one or two more that I’m forgetting about. I have also switched pcb fabrication to another vendor which produces better boards. There were too many quality issues with the old vendor. Many of the older adapters, about 2 dozen of them, were updated with additional features, better silkscreen quality and improved soldermask.
Keep an eye out for these on my store or this site. Thanks for checking this out and your continued support!
