Multi-Jamma solution for the Konami 4-player beat-em-ups?
I just purchased a Simpsons cab with the intention of installing a multi-jamma switch for the rest of the Konami 4-player family (TMNT, TMNT TIT, Sunset Riders, X-Men).
I understand that the Simpsons cab is wired for stereo while some of the others are not, which is why I chose it.
There seems to be several 6-in-1 solutions but they apparently don't support 4-player games. This is the response I got to my inquiry on jammaboards.com:
The 6-in-1 switcher PCB is only designed for standard 2-player type JAMMA games. It would not directly work well with switching between 4-player games. You could use diodes between all the 3rd/4th player connections but it is just extra work to do. The sound would still have to directly connect to the Simpsons motherboard as it could not go through the JAMMA harness...but the other games you connect to the switcher would still work through the 6-in-1 switcher.
Anybody know where I go from here?
