At this point, with 120 JAMMA adapters, the majority of my time is spent filling orders and less developing new projects. While I had some help a while back, it didn&#8217;t work out and I&#8217;m now back to doing all of the work myself. This includes assembly, running the store, filling orders, packing and shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, I managed to design a number of new adapters recently. Here&#8217;s the list and status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Taito L-Shape Space Invaders<\/strong> &#8211; This is for the original Taito, non-North American version of Space Invaders. Prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tehkan World Cup<\/strong> &#8211; This also covers the other two games in the pinout class, including Tee&#8217;d Off, Gridiron Fight, and of course Tehkan World Cup. This is for the non-bootleg boards that use trackballs. Joystick -&gt; trackball conversion is built in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Pit<\/strong> &#8211; The Zilec \/ Centuri boulder dash like game. Ready for release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gorf<\/strong> &#8211; The Midway cage system. Adapter includes video conversion (YUV -&gt; RGB) and sound amplification. All cage games like Wizard of Wor, Gorf, Robby Roto have unique pinouts. Working prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wizard of Wor<\/strong> &#8211; Midway cage. See above. Working prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jack the Giant Killer<\/strong> &#8211; Cinematronics. Should also be compatible with other cinematronics games like Zzyzzyxx, Freeze, and possibly others as many run on this hardware, though that hasn&#8217;t been confirmed and verified. Ready for release. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polaris<\/strong> &#8211; Taito. May work on other Tatio games. Ready for release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook Race<\/strong> &#8211; Common bootleg version of Burgertime. Ready for release. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zaccaria<\/strong>. For games like Jackrabbit, Money Money. Zaccaria made many games with unique pinouts and only a handful with this pinout here. Ready for release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Atari Warlords<\/strong> &#8211; For the uncommon atari spinner game. Joystick to spinner conversion included for testing. Prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Atari Pole Position<\/strong>. For the popular driving game licensed from Namco which has a different &#8220;Atari&#8221; pinout. Analog controls are simulated with a mictrocontroller. Late prototype stage. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bally Sente SAC-1<\/strong>. For the cart system. The adapter requires additional control mappers as controls for each cart are pretty much unique. Beta testing nearly complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bally Midway MCR<\/strong>. For the MCR-1, 2, and MCR-3 system boards. This adapter also requires  control mapper boards. Working prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bally Midway Monoboard<\/strong>. For MCR monoboards. A number of MCR games exist on this system (Two Tigers, Sarge, Demolition Derby), as well as unique games (Rampage, RPM Racing, Xenophobe, Spy Hunter II). Control mappers required. Prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bally Midway Super Pacman<\/strong> &#8211; the second iteration of this adapter with less confusing front entry female connectors. Beta testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Astro Invaders<\/strong> &#8211; Stern \/ Konami. Cage system developed for Stern by Konami. Unique pinout. Ready for release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Astro Fighter<\/strong> &#8211; DECO \/ Sega Gremlin. Unique pinout. Prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nintendo Donkey Kong TKG3<\/strong> &#8211; For the small 3 stack variant of Donkey Kong and Radar Scope. Beta testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sega Gremlin G80<\/strong> &#8211; Cage system. For games like Astro Blaster. Supporting only raster for now. Early prototype.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sega Gremlin VIC \/ Dual<\/strong> &#8211; For games like Invinco, Head On 1\/2, Depth Charge and many others. Both Black and White and color games will be supported.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DECO Mad Rider \/ Mad Alien<\/strong>. DECO cage system. Unique pinout. Design complete, starting prototype stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DECO Cassette<\/strong>. Design complete, starting prototype stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably one or two more that I&#8217;m forgetting about. Keep an eye out for these on my store or this site. Thanks for checking this out and your continued support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t posted an update in a while.
