WTB Killer Instinct 1 PCB

It's really not worth buying that Double adapter. Just mount the KI board on another piece of wood and offset it a bit to the right and toward the front of the KI2 cabinet. With a double jamma adapter you will still have to switch the kick harness and volume control harness unless you wire them to both boards. How often do you plan on switching between games? Is it that hard to get to the back door?

Yep, and that would be fun wiring that up too.
 
how does your multi-JAMMA work? is it like the 6-in-1 kind? if so, then you're going to have problems with the kick harnesses causing interference between the powered board and non-powered board.

you have to install diodes inline with every low attack button, with the striped ends facing towards the Player 3 header. (that's the emitter, right? I need sleep..)

if not, and it powers them at the same time though, this won't be an issue I don't think.

just giving the heads up.
 
Hate to tell ya, killer instinct pcb's are not cheap at all, and you cant expect some one to drop the price uber low for u to take the pcb only, cuz they cant sell the hdd or chips for dick by themselves. i say convert it to ki1 with new chips and hdd from ebay and be done with it ki2 = sequal fail

 
you can take the gamble on those "it might work and it might not work" boards on ebay for $100 or less, and you can probably use that board as a paperweight or something to scratch your nuts with.

that's what happened to me. then I had delusions of grandeur and bought a junk board with the CPU ripped off thinking I could do surface mount soldering. I wound up reselling them to someone that needed RAMs.

personally, the best decision I made was buying my first KI board from quarterarcade, I dropped about $230 on it, but at least then I knew it worked. I upgraded the game rom on it and eventually bought a RevisionX flash kit for it.

it'll take some effort to hunt down, but occasionally on ebay you'll find boards that are listed non-working that have broken hard drives, as evident by the idiots selling them posting blue and red screens. I've seen them go for what you consider your budget. I wouldn't pay any higher than $250, there's some other sellers on ebay that are outright price gouging (try $400), but I guess when they have nothing else better to do in life they gotta make money too, ya know.
