I know Pheonix has a few extra buttons, but can a Time Pilot harness be easily modifed to work on it without major hacking?

I can tell you that if you hook up a Phoenix PCB to a Time Pilot harness, you will burn um a chip on the Phoenix board. I did it because I relied on my memory and thought it was the same pinout. Luckily, the board still worked after I replaced that chip....
 
I can see why, after comparing the pin outs, they are WAY off. Since they have the same number of pins, could I use the time pilot harness if I wire it correctly, or am i better off buyin or making a pheonix harness?

Rewire to JAMMA (or get a JAMMA board to Konami Harness adapter), and get Phoenix to JAMMA adapter, and you'll be able to play both.

I wanna turn it into a dedicated pheonix. I thought about doing the jamma route because it is super easy to wire, but I dont wanna spend money when I dont need to. What do you guys think? would the TP harness be easy to modify?

Probably be easier building a quick adapter... cheaper too.

I don't have any more connectors or fingerboards though.. :( Sadface. If I did I'd try to make one up for you real quick.

Its cool, ill take the original harness out, and clean it up. Ill get a couple of fingerboards from Bob seeing as theyre cheap. We'll get it running soon enough!
