Allows you to play your JAMMA games in a cabinet wired according to the Sega System 8 pinout class used by System 1 and System 2 Sega hardware. This 8-bit hardware platform predates System 16 and was used from about 1983 to 1987 not only by Sega but also other manufacturers such as CoreLand and Vic Tokai. 

Cabinet Compatibility

This is the list of compatible games that can be used with this adapter:

* The 36 pin version of Gigas with an additional connector for spinner controls will not work with this adapter.

Voltages

This adapter does not support the -5V power rail which is not present in these cabinets. Games that require -5V may not run.

Inputs and Outputs

In most circumstances this adapter will work as intended with your cabinet without any modifications. Problems may occur playing some JAMMA games in a modified cabinet with less than 3 buttons, or only one coin switch present.

If the button order is wrong you may need to swap the wires going to the buttons behind the control panel. If a button doesn’t register at all, say only JAMMA button 2 and 3 work, you may need to run a jumper from button 3 to button 1 at the cabinet wire harness edge connector.

If game can’t be coined up, say in a case where only COIN2 switch is wired in the cabinet, and the game only supports the COIN1 switch, you may need to swap the coin wires on the harness or potentially jumper them together to get the game to coin up.
