Can I use an Bally/Midway MCR3 wiring harness with an MCR2 game?

Hi all,

I am just wondering if I can use a MCR-3 wiring harness with my Satan's Hollow board set (with a bit of hacking involved maybe)? I just cannot find anything on this topic. Are both standards basically using the same connectors and/or pinouts etc?

Thanks in advance! And if someone happens to have a Satan's Hollow Joystick lying around, well....

The power supply, transformer assembly, and it's associated connectors are the same (the first MCR games use a different transformer assembly set up...Kick, Solar Fox, and Tron)

The power input connector and the video signal connector on the motherboard stack is the same.

Everything else (can) be different....depending on the game. The input/output connectors are different from game to game depending on the controls. Audio (can) be very different...some have more speakers, different amp boards, extra audio boards, and a handful of other peripherals.

Thanks for your promt reply Edward.

So I guess I drop some names. I am thinking about using an Spy Hunter harness with my Satans Hollow. Do you think that will work out basically?

In theory, yeah. Spy Hunter has a lot of peripherals....lamp driver board, Cheap Squeak Deluxe audio board, absolute positioning board, a different amp board. You've got some serious hacking ahead of you.

Okay, that sounds like I should maybe wait for a better option. One last question. Which games harnesses do you think would match Satan's Hollow best (aside from a SH one ;)?
