I really want to be able to play Rampage in my 3 player Pig Out cabinet. Can you help? Is it possible to make an adapter to do this? I was looking at the pinouts of each and it looks like you'd need an engineering degree to construct one. Or is it easier than I think? Can you do a Pigout to Jamma adapter, then a Jamma switcher, then Jamma to Pigout and Jamma to Rampage adapters?

Rampage:

Pinouts for Rampage
Rampage features three boards: CPU, Sounds Good, and a Dual Power Amp. These boards use male MTA (Mass-Termination Assembly) connectors in both the .156" (large) and .100" (small) sizes. You'll need several in both sizes. Power requirements are simple: +5V and +12V are all you need.

For testing purposes, you can run the 68000 CPU board without the SOUNDS GOOD daughterboard. Yes, this means that you can quickly power up the game using only +5V, GND, and the video signals. If you hold the TEST pin (J2, pin 8) to GND, you can then ground the SERVICE pin (J2, pin 7) to cycle through the self-test screens. The practical upshot of all this is that having an incomplete board set isn't a show-stopper. You can play the game quite nicely (albeit silently) without the sound board, with no ill effects.


68000 CPU BOARD
---------------

J1 - Power Input (12 pins, .156")
- The CPU board only requires +5V and GND, but if you want to draw +12V
from the auxillary power connector, it's probably a good idea to connect
it here anyways...
1 - GND
2 - GND
3 - +5V
4 - +5V
5 - Key
6 - Reset Out (unused)
7 - GND
8 - +12V (unusSOUNDS GOOD, J1, pin 2)
11 - Sound 0 (to SOUNDS GOOD, J1, pin 4)
12 - Sound 1 (to SOUNDS GOOD, J1, pin 3)
13 - Sound 2 (to SOUNDS GOOD, J1, pin 9)
14 - Sound 3 (to SOUNDS GOOD, J1, pin 8)
15 - Sound Reset (to SOUNDS GOOD, J2, pin 9)
16 - N/C
17 )
- This is not used in the "official" setup, but can be used if necessary.
For instance, if your power supply doesn't have enough duplicate outputs
to power up all three boards, you can use J6 to supply the other boards
with any missing voltages. If you want to use +12V on this connector,
you'll have to connect the +12V connector on J1.
1 - GND
2 - GND
3 - +5V
1 - A GND
2 - A GND
3 - +5V
4 - +5V
5 - +12V
6 - +12V
7 - E GND (unused)
8 - Key
9 - Sound Reset (from CPU, J3, pin 15)
10 - Sound Reset
11 - L GND
12 - L GND

J3 - Audio Output (12 pins, .100")
- Volume pot "A" and "B" signals go to the two "sides" of the pot.
The "wiper" goes in the "middle".
1 - Volume pot wiper (to POT)
2 - Left audio out (to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 2)
3 - Right audio out (to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 3)
4 - A GND (to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 3)
5 - A GND
6 - Audio out (unused)
7 - Audio out (unused)
8 - A GND
9 - Key
10 - Volume pot A (to POT)
11 - A GND
12 - Volume pot B (to POT)


DUAL POWER AMP
--------------
This is a small board which amplifies the signals produced by the
"Sounds Good" board and sends them to the speakers. I got mine from
an Omega Race board set from 1981. Judging from the age differential,
it's clear that these are fairly c"Dual power amp" board. This board
can handle (and presumably mix) four separate inputs as opposed to two.
I've never seen one of these boards, so again, your mileage may vary...

J1 - Audio Input (11 pins, .100")
1 - L2 shield (unused)
2 - L2 audio (corresponds to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 2)
3 - L1 audio (unused)
4 - L1 shield (corresponds to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 3)
5 - Key
6 - GND
7 - R2 shield (unused)
8 - R2 audio (corresponds to DUAL POWER AMP, J1, pin 6)
9 - R1 audio (unused)
10 - R1 shield (unused)
11 - +12V

J2 - Speaker Output (6 pins, .100")
1 - Right speaker +ve
2 - Right speaker -ve
3 - Key
4 - Left speaker +ve
5 - N/C
6 - Left speaker -ve
 
I've thought of doing the same thing, although the fact that Rampage has 2 buttons pretty much killed the idea for me since I don't think I want to modify the cp. Though I'll be very interested to see how yours looks if you get it done. Of course I'll also be interested in the wiring aspect of it too. I haven't even given that a look. I figured it wouldn't be too bad but from what you say I guess I'm wrong. If and when I get some time to have a look at this, I'll let you know (kind of a busy time of year obviously and I have repair projects that would take priority too). Good luck and please keep me/us updated on your progress.

They both have 2 buttons?
 
Lol. It was actually Rampage World Tour that I was thinking of, and that has 3 buttons. Must have been too early in the morning or something. ;)

Nonetheless, I am still interested in how this goes. I might consider getting other games to switch in and out.

I was like, am I missing something? Yeah I would love to be able to do this, as Rampage is a game I would love to have but don't have the room for. Seems that if an adapter can be made, any 3 player/ 2 button games would work in here. The cabinet rocks, the CP layout is sweet, and the 25 inch monitor is kick-ass. I like Pig Out, but the cabinet would increase in value for me if I could switch out other 3 player games.
