Allows you to use your SNK / Taito Zarzon or Satan of Saturn game board, in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.

SNK (Shin Nihon Kikaku) is a Japanese video game manufacturer best known for its Neo Geo platform and games. Zarzon was one of their more successful releases of 1981 and was their second attempt at the shoot em up genre. The game was renamed to Satan of Saturn and distributed by Taito in North America.

The game improves somewhat on the standard shooter recipe of that era, by incorporating multiple enemy patterns on multiple distinct level boards.

While SNK used a similar pinout for their early SNK Rockola hardware games, Zarzon does not control correctly when using the adapter for that conversion class.
