As of right now, I&#8217;ve made 31 distinct JAMMA adapters, and I&#8217;m planning to do at least a few more in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-573\" src=\"https:\/\/pcbjunkie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/elecrow-batch5-noid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"998\" height=\"1247\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last batch of adapter boards pictured above, has arrived about a week ago. This batch consists of the following new adapters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jaleco (Exerion, City Connection, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Toaplan (Tiger Heli, Guardian, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Nichibutsu (MagMax, Terra Cresta, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>SNK \/ Rockola (Vanguard, Nibbler, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Orca A (Congorilla, Changes, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Orca B (Espial, Vastar, etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to dig through my collection of boards to find some to test these with,\u00a0and as that happens I&#8217;ll make periodic updates.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also designed the PCB prototypes for three new projects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minigun &#8211; a mini supergun adapter that allows you to play your JAMMA game on a tv using component (not RGB) video output and 6 button genesis compatible controllers.<\/li>\n<li>JAMMA Mate &#8211; a helper adapter for button macros, autofire, voltage readings and power monitor, auto coin \/ freeplay, video sync converter, internal coin counters, etc..<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0JAMMA Test Board &#8211; a battery powered board to allow for testing of monitor sound and power components and controls inside of a JAMMA cabinet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can see these are the red pcbs in the picture above. At this point I haven&#8217;t been able to do anything with those other than give them a quick inspection to make sure they look alright.<\/p>\n<p>Finally my Rasberry Pi board project is moving along. I&#8217;ve got it working and usable to a certain extent but not without issues. The project is proving quite doable and it appears to be moving forward faster than even I imagined. I would say, in a couple of months I may be testing the final prototype and soon after that it will be available for sale.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-574\" src=\"https:\/\/pcbjunkie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pj-wonderboy-sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1944\" height=\"1944\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For now here&#8217;s some crappy pics of the board in action in my dark basement, but I&#8217;ll post new info on this project, along with proper pics later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not that I&#8217;m complaining or anything, but the whole JAMMA adapter thing has got me overwhelmed a bit.
