Sammy Deer Hunting, Turkey Hunting & Wing Shooting Championship

I have a SAMMY Deer Hunting game with 1 shotgun. Inside the cabinet I have also installed a Turkey Hunting board so all I have to do is unplug the JAMMA connector and the Gun connector and plug into the other board. I have my eye out for a WIng Shooting championship board so I can put that in the cabinet too. I have 2 questions.

Is Wing Shooting Championship a 2 shotgun game only or can you set the board to take turns with one shot gun.

is there a way I can put a switcher in the cabinet that will work for the shotgun connector also.

Thanks for the help

Depending on which switching option you purchase, yes and no.

Standard options only support regular jamma wire ups. (no jamma+, sometimes not even a full jamma harness like test/service switches)

I am not sure how options that are always "power on" to all of the boards work (aka keeping coin singals out of the "off" boards), but I think you just wire it across all of them (the light gun that is). Since the "off" board(s) are on, it doesn't give you any ghost grounds.

For an always off option (other than the "on" board) you must add diodes to all of the wires except the ground, so the on board doesn't detect ghost grounds to the off boards.

I am working on a 12+ board switcher that I am rolling my own on. It is expensive and it is sucking up a ton of time and I only have the power board complete. I still have to wire in all of the buttons, handle video and sound. Then support jamma+ stuff as described above.

I have a light gun clipped up with diodes that I was using for testing and it works. It is a happ45. The shot gun just has an extra "button" (pump) for reload. So, an extra power wire and often an extra ground. That would give you 4 diodes and 2 grounds for the 6 total wires.

I asked the same question you are asking here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=110970.0 and just ended up going for the build your own option because nothing supported light guns.

Incase you are still looking at this thread, I finished wiring up a PCB for 6 light gun boards to 1 set of guns. Everything except for ground is isolated with diodes. I did some practice soldering in the middle, so ignore that junk. This is really a proof of concept board as I plan to do it again, but for 12 light gun PCBs to 1 set of guns.

Feel free to give me tips to improve my soldering. I am new at it.
 
I put a Deer Hunter and Turkey Hunter in the same cab using a 6-1 switcher. I spliced an additional connector to split the gun connector between the two boards and the game worked fine without any issues. I didn't check the dipswitch settings to see if I could flip the image since I was using a Sega Virtua Cop 2 cab, I ended up splitting and flipping the yoke connector to flip the image.
