Before everyone gets upset with me...I am not in any way hacking up my Galaga. While my PCB isn't working I am going to play it with the 60 in 1 I bought (I know lots of people hate these and those discussions can be found elsewhere). I have the Jamma to Galaga adapter. I also bought a new CP and components so I don't have to touch the original. This is only a temporary "fix" so we can get some use out of it.

With that said...How do I hook up the 4 way joystick I bought? I assume I need to add two new wires for the up and down as the original 2 way only has right and left. Seems like there should be an easy way to do this but I can't find it by the searches I've done. With all the items available to convert this into multicade w/o hurting the original stuff it seems like there should be a harness already made for this? Am I missing something?

Again, don't hate me for this temporary conversion. I will be restoring this Galaga someday but since this is my first game I just wanted to be able to play it. Plus the family likes the options of the other games. All help will be appreciated.
 
I'm pretty sure your jamma adapter has spots to wire in the extra wires you need.

I could be wrong though
