Biggest arcade mistake that could have been easily avoided. What's your biggest GOOF
So I recently acquired a Pooyan (Konami Classic), inside was a Commando PCB (Capcom Classic). So to be cheap I decided instead of buying one of those adapters Konami to JAMMA and rewire it using a JAMMA harness... I figured I would just use the existing wiring and keep things original. So as I'm going along it looks like all of the existing original harness is attached except someone added "Joystick Left, and Right" respectively since pooyan was a 2-way game and commando required the other wires. I label everything properly based off of the Commando Pinout. I than De-Soldered the edge connector. and than Re-Soldered all of the wires to correspond the correct Pinout for Pooyan... I grab my Pooyan Board, and I said SHIT!! I forgot it was a 36 pin on the Konami board and not the typical 56 Pin.... Oh well what a big waste of time. What's your biggest completely pointless / avoidable mistake >?
