Lizard Lick PacJAMMA adapter/60in1+stock CP=EASY!

[blkdog7]

This morning I installed a 60 in 1 board with the Lizard Lick Pac-to-Jamma adapter into my Ms. Pac. It was crazy easy and only required me to splice 3 wires into my Player 1 and Player 2 start buttons. Total install time once I figured out which wires was about 10 minutes.

I didn't want to drill holes for new buttons into the original CP, or get a new one, so I wired the two fire buttons into the "Player 1" and "Player 2" start buttons and it works PERFECT!

I am very happy with this set up so far and it was way easy! And, my Ms. Pac is still completely stock inside and I can easily swap the original PCB back in. Sweet!

This is going in storage:

That is pretty snazzy. Ive got a 48 in 1 in my cocktail cab but i may get one of those and put my 465 in 1 into the ms pac. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to know it was that easy. I'd just install Ms. Pac PCB back in the cabinet and install the 60 in 1 above it.

Yeah, I thought about storing the Ms. Pac PCB inside the cabinet but I didn't have the proper PCB mounts for the JAMMA board, so I used the original PCB shelf thing. I might get some PCB mounts and do that. The PCB would be safer in the Ms. Pac cab.

Bob Roberts has PCB mounts for your 60 in 1...

Thanks, I just e-mailed him.

So, you did get that color issue worked out on that monitor then? Capping it will solve that sag on the bottom right corner.

 

[blkdog7]

No, I still haven't gotten the colors right. I'm gonna try again since this JAMMA board has a color test screen. This monitor has to go. There is major burn in that is really visible on the lighter colored games. I might get a Vision Pro or a rebuilt WG or G07.

 

[Wundercade]

That's probably your best route. A new monitor would make that cab look real nice.

I have a Ms. Pac and a Pac-man cab in my collection. I may go this route on my Pac-man cab, since I'm not a fan of it as a dedicated, but I like having it for it's history. This solution will allow me to multi-purpose the Pac-man justifying my keeping it. I think I'll use a multi-pac in my Ms. Pac cab.

So basically, on those three wires you had to splice in...where and how did you do it? For future reference.

Chad from Lizard Lick made me a little harness that plugs into his adapter.

The harness has 4 wires. The black wire is ground. The other 3 are for each of the 3 availabe buttons. The only game that uses 3 buttons is Gunsmoke. So, if you do it like I did, you can't really play Gunsmoke. Everything else works great.

Anyways, I spliced the adapter's ground wire into one of the Ms. PAC red ground wires at the player one/two start buttons. Then spliced the other two adapter wires to the non-ground wires, one each to the two buttons.

Thanks bro. And yes, looking at it everyday with a grin is quite normal.

I made a little demonstration video:

Yes, I am happy.

I just ordered a WG D7700 for this setup. I can't wait!
