Allows you to use your JAMMA game in a cabinet wired according to the Taito classic pre-JAMMA pinout class.

As a general rule, Taito game cabinets in this conversion class, have a regular edge card connector (G) for audio / video and controls, as well as a large 12 pin header (H) for power. Some games may also have another card edge connector (T) for additional power delivery.

This adapter only requires that the H connector be plugged in. The T connector is not required and should be left unused.

Cabinet Compatibility

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

It's possible this adapter can be used with other Taito games from the early 80s.

Voltages

All voltages are available when using this adapter.

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 2 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 works, you may need to run a jumper from button 2 to button 1 at the cabinet wire harness edge connector.

If the 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.
