It looks like it's probably a Falcon pinout. The controls differ on many of them, but usually the power, video and speakers are the same. It's hard to know exactly without testing. I've got a couple Pac-Man/Ms Pac bootlegs (not the same one you have) that all use the Falcon pinout, but when I hook it up to a Falcon JAMMA adapter (from Mark Spaeth, set up for Crazy Kong), the controls didn't work right.

Notable items of this board

28 pin socket laid out above & to the left of the Z80. The pinouts appear to match the Sync Buss Controller chip/piggyback although this socket is not used.
Data lines D3 & D5 are swapped (requires unique ROM set).
3 Rows of ROM 5, 6, & 7.
Same pinouts as PAC -3.
Has 3 wires for the chips select on ROMs 4 & 5 like the common Ms Pac bootleg hack.

My particular board has no markings other than "GDP-01" & Asian text inside of 28 pin socket above Z80.

Variation of this board will use a piggyback board marked "GDP-02" which has a flying wire from main board 8B pin 11 to GDP-02 IC 4 pin 12. This board may be replaced by a Sync Bus Controller board (without the flying wire). I assume boards equipped with GDP-02 run non bootleg style software.

Thanks, found that after I replied and was just about to post it myself :) It does look like it's the same pinout as Crazy Kong, so Spaeth's Falcon-JAMMA adapter would work. The only difference is this one won't have a jump button, one of which (player 2) is on pin 22, which is the one **'d (the Lawnmowerman page says this about that pin: "** The associated componets (Capacitor/ Resistor) may not be on board, thus this pin may not work. Often bootleg boards are hard wired for Cocktail Table mode."). The parts/solder side might be reversed, but the Falcon Crazy Kong boards actually have 2 edge connectors, which are flipped from each other (so parts side on one connector is solder side on the other). You'd just need to make sure you have it plugged in right (looking at the 3 grounds tied together at one end is the easiest way to verify)
