Lethal Enforcers - What Can It Be Converted Into?

As a LE cabinet owner, this is something I've looked into.

I assume you want to know what it can be converted into easily, as in plug-and-play type swap out, rather than a full-on conversion.

If this is this case, the limitations are:

1) horizontal monitor (not a big deal, most gun games are)
2) standard resolution video (this is a real limit, many newer games require VGA)
3) support for mirrored display (a real limit, but easily overcome by vertical swapping yoke wires)
4) No buttons, LE only has a start button for each player (another real limit, could overcome if you want to drill more holes in your CP...).
5) standard JAMMA wiring (duh)
6) 4-pin 0.100" Molex KK connectors for the guns ("Happ" stype; can be overcome with adapters in some cases)

Games that will easily plug in and work (all these have the same type of gun connector, and support mirrored display):
- LE (duh)
- LE II (you knew that)
- Police Trainer (a popular conversion)
- Sharpshooter (by the people that brought you Police Trainer)
- Egg Venture (not much to say about it)

Games that should work, if you swap the vertical yoke wiring and/or have/make gun connector adapters:
- Area 51
- Maximum Force
- Area 51 / Maximum Force Duo

I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that I'm either certain, or pretty sure, they'll work with no (or little) fuss. If you try any others, please report your sucess or failure back here. Some of the newer titles may have both or switchable output for standard res, but I haven't got time to pull manuals of every gun game under the sun (until I get bored with the above titles).

EDIT: PS... if you're considering doing a multi-JAMMA approach, beware. I've got Police Trainer and Lethal Enforcers, and their video output is rather different; I have to adjust brightness/contrast and screen position when going from one to the other. So on-the-fly-multi-JAMMA switching would be a PITA. YMMV, and other games may be more similar to be conducive to such use.

PPS... if anyone has a Sharpshooter PCB for sale, please PM me :)

Just using the topic for my question :)

Is there any chance to convert a LE cabinet into House of the dead or Virtua Cop pretty easily?

Thanks

No.

Both require a lot of hardware. If I recall correctly, HotD uses a special power supply (3v?) and is medium resolution. and virtua cop is also a medium res game.
 
Thanks, but how is it possible that LE II works though it has medium resolution and Virtua Cop doesn't?

Does Point Blank work without modifications?

LE/LE2 are standard resolution

VC2 and HOTD2 are medium resolution. They can be swapped with some work into each other. I have done this in my VC2.

I think you can get Point Blank to work in a LE.
