I just purchased a Nintendo Donkey Kong Junior cocktail that is in pretty good shape.

It needs some work on the monitor, and I have got a cap kit from Bob Roberts, and hope to install this weekend to see if that fixes the issue.

Once it is up and running, I would like to install a 60-in-1 board, so the family can run DK, DK Jr, as well as a few other games that only need 1 button.

Since the cocktail is in good shape, I do not want to mess with the original wiring, so looking for a way to get a 60-in-1 to interface with the current wiring harness. Everything I am seeing is to take a Nintendo board and install into a Jamma cab. I am wating to be backwards and put the jamma (60-in-1) in a Nintendo cab.

Can anyone point me to somone that sells what I am looking for? (and if you know a good place for a 60-in-1, that's great as well!)

Thanks!
 
Monitor pulled for cap kit

Nixs is the person to talk to for the 60-in-1 board.

As for the wiring, that's been requeste many times and as far as I know it doesn't work that way. Mostly the issue is the monitor and sound.

I have a 60-in-1 on order. I'm not really worried about the sound, as I beleive I have a way to deal with that, and I pulled the monitor, and it has the inverter on it, so I should just move the cable to address that issue.

My big thing is not wanting to have to rewire the buttons. Goal is to keep the cab as original as possible, so I can revert to the original DKJ, and you would not know it ever had the 60-in-1 in it.

I guess I need a board that fits into the Nintendo that I can wire the wires from the Jamma harness to for start, joystick, etc. I'm thinking the board would look like this edge.

Anyone know where I can get one?

All you need is a jamma harness and the 60-1 board.
To power the board you either need to put a switching power supply in place of the original one
or get .100 pins and a connector to hook the harness up to the 10p slot on the original power supply.
For the pic you need to put a .100 connector on the jamma video wires,to hook up to the inverter board,
then just swap the vid over to the invert input.
The sound can be run directly from the jamma harness to the speaker since the 60-1 has an onboard amp.
Hook up everything else like normal for a jamma harness.
If you don't want to rewire the controls then you could get pins and a connector that will hook up to the cp harness.
If the cp harness is in 2 pieces like the uprights.If not then you need to run the jamma wires to the appropriate spots.

Wow, I missed that one!

Wow... It was a forest/trees moment. Thanks for the thoughts on connecting the Jamma to the cp harness. I had overlooked that. I kept focusing on doing it at the board harness I completely forgot about doing it at the cp harness. I was even looking at those last night and noticed that player 2 used red connectors and player 1 used white ones and that someone put thought into that.

Anyone know where I can get the pinout for the connections, and where to to buy the connectors I need? (Both for the control Panel, and for the speaker)

Thanks!
