Hey I need a little help here. I bought the Mikes arcade double jamma switcher for my Smash Tv (adding Total Carnage to it) without reading that some games might not have full fuctionality with jamma games that have extra buttons or something on pin 25.(both control right fire functions on the joysticks) I found the post on here about how to make it work which might have to be the way i go. Apparently they decided at Mikes to omit pin 25/c on the splitter since most Jamma games dont use it. The workaround I found here..

http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=94577 thanks for that btw

but I also since then found this item on ebay from holland....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330862119067&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I emailed the guy specifically about this issue and he assured me I would not have that problem, but if I did i could sent it back in 10 days....so anyone use this item or know its pinout....if 25/c is split then this would be far better than mikes...and cheaper...thanks
 
what seems to be the issue, you can either do as the write-up here suggested or well find another switcher.

maybe you want one that is atleast 3 in 1 so you can run a Jrok with Robotron.

I think the 3 in one idea is great, but my issue is that i have to solder connections onto the mikes harnass that I already purchased or send it back and get one that passes through pin 25/c. Mikes does not. I was wondering if the other ones on the market passed that uncommonly used pin through
 
emails with mike: seems like a nice guy--read bottom up for the resolution of this...sending it back tomorrow...the smash game came from ebay in florida...think the guy ladymansex was not totally honest..the game needs a monitor cap kit for sure...had to repair the lamp too for the marquee i gotta start taking photos of my projects..i am so add i cant stop to do it...i replaced all joys with 8 ways from hong kong and the mounts were different so i drilled out the wood overlay and used oversized washers to hold the brackets in..not pretty but they work beautifully and you can't see them unless you remove the panel...


I see what you mean on the pinouts in the manual. Yes, button 4 is not connected as it is not part of the JAMMA standard. But, some games used it anyway and called themselves JAMMA+. We can add a wire for those pins in the harness, and jumpers on the board if you'd like. Let me know. You'll need to send in back in either way.



Best,

Here are the pinouts I have for Smash T.V. they don't list anything on pin 25 or c, but they maybe wrong:

Our adapter is JAMMA Standard, which only includes 3 buttons per player. Sorry it did not work for you.

I really want to be able to make this work. I just dont want to mess anything up on the harnass. I found another place that makes switchers, but I heard yours are the best quality. I guess I will and try another, but if theirs does not work I may just have to reorder this one and rig it to work. Thanks, Tyler Pittman.

I am gonna call Holland and ask specifically if theirs works for pin 25/c if it does not i will just keep this one...thanks

Good afternoon Tyler. If you'd like, you can return the adapter and ext cable and we will be glad to refund your order.

Thank you,
Mikes Arcade.

Well not totally true, after i hooked up the adapter to both boards i played the game and noticed i had no right fire ability. I looked on Smash tvs pinout in the manual and position 25/c controls right fire for player one and two. I then looked on the adapter and the pinout diagram of your doubler and noticed pin 25/c says nc by it....Also on the adapter there is no physical trace off that position. So?

We do nothing with the inputs, they pass right from the gameboard, through the cardedges to the JAMMA harness. If it works without the double jamma adapter installed, it should look exactly the same. Do you have the board in the extender cable or on the bottom connector?

Best,

I just bought and received your double jamma adapter and tried it on my smash tv. It works but not fully. I cant move either players guns to any right shots...diagonal right up, right, or diagonal right down for player one and two are non working. What do i need to do. I havent got my second board in yet. Thoughts? Thanks, Tyler
