This is a simple board meant to work as an adapter for hooking an aimtrak up inside a Namco arcade gun (so it can be used with a PC with functional recoil). The board fits into the handle of the gun and contains through-holes for each connection between the aimtrak, connections in, and the solenoid in the gun. The board also includes a diode for the solenoid along with a TIP102 + Resistor for triggering the solenoid. Not much else to say, the board could use a lot of improvements but it gets the job done.

(This version of the board has not been tested)

An adapter board for hooking up joysticks to a 837-13551-92 [JVS I/O Control Board Type 1], should also work with any I/O board that happens to share the same 60 pin Digital I/O connector with the same pinout (such as the 837-14572 [JVS I/O Control Board Type 3]).

This version of the board, with a flat ribbon cable, allows the cable to run between the boards ‘back to back’ (as the 60 pin connector faces the opposite direction as the 837-13551-92’s relative to the board). A version of this board with the same functionality, but a flipped 60 pin connector can be found at: http://oshpark.com/shared_projects/lR9aERng

This board has plugs for a +5v and +12v monitor, they are not required. There is also a 2nd plug for a +5v out, intended for use with a modified USB cable to power a Pi. On the 2 pin connectors Pin 1 is output and Pin 2 is ground. The resistor on the board connects between +5v and the coin meter pins on the 60 pin connector to spoof the existence of coin meters for games that require it. The push buttons on the board are provided for ease of access to test/service/coin inputs, they do not need to be populated.

The board was designed to fit the following parts:

1. All plugs are 2.5mm pitch, designed for JST XH plugs.
2. The DB-15 connectors were designed for Amphenol’s L717SDA15PA4CH4F
3. The push buttons were designed for TE Connectivity’s ALCOSWITCH Switches (1825910-6)
4. The 60 pin connector was designed for TE Connectivity’s 60 Pin AMP connector (1-5102321-1)

The DB-15 plugs use the wiring that should be found on most Superguns: http://www.thesupergun.com/electrical/standard-supergun-controller-wiring-diagram/

In case the site cannot be reached the wiring is as follows:

1. GND
2. Button 6
3. Coin
4. Button 4
5. Button 2
6. Right
7. Down
8. +5v

(v1.2)

An adapter board for hooking up joysticks to a JVS I/O Board that uses JAMMA, specifically designed with the Sega 838-13683-93 REV. B in mind. This board is not designed to power the I/O, the I/O should be receiving power from another source (such as the CN6 header on the REV B). This design also assumes that your I/O board will provide +5v/+12v on the JAMMA connector (but it will be mostly functional without it).

Buttons 1-5 are on the JAMMA edge, button 6 is connected up to the 14 pin connector which is meant to be hooked up to CN3 on the REV B. Technically only pins 4 (P1 Button 6) and 8 (P2 Button 6) need to be hooked up on the 14 pin connector. All pins besides those 2 on the connector are NC. So, again, the only pins you would need to wire are 4 and 8 (which aren’t even needed if you don’t care about 6 button support).

The board has plugs for a +5v and +12v monitor, they are not required. There is also a 2nd plug for a +5v out, intended for use with a modified USB cable to power a Pi. These outputs will only work if the board is receiving power from the I/O board over the JAMMA edge (which is the case of the REV B is powered via CN6). On the 2 pin connectors Pin 1 is output and Pin 2 is ground. Theoretically you could possibly use these plugs as power input (as they connect to the JAMMA edge) to power the I/O, but the board was not designed for this.

The two resistors are connected between +5v and the coin meter pins on the JAMMA edge to spoof the existence of coin meters for games that require it. This will not work if the board is not receiving +5v from the JAMMA edge. The push buttons on the board are provided for ease of access to test/service/coin inputs, they do not need to be populated.

The board was designed to fit the following parts:

1. All plugs are 2.5mm pitch, designed for JST XH plugs.
2. The DB-15 connectors were designed for Amphenol’s L717SDA15PA4CH4F
3. The push buttons were designed for TE Connectivity’s ALCOSWITCH Switches (1825910-6)
4. The JAMMA edge was designed for a Suzo Happ female edge connector (with solder terminals), but should fit pretty much any JAMMA female connector. (Note: This board was designed for soldering a female connector onto the board, not for a female-female connector, the pins on the JAMMA edge on this board might be a bit too short to use a female-female connector, but it might work. It will for sure not work if your connector requires a slot for the Key, as this board has a pin (unused) in its place).

The DB-15 plugs use the wiring that should be found on most Superguns: http://www.thesupergun.com/electrical/standard-supergun-controller-wiring-diagram/

In case the site cannot be reached the wiring is as follows:

1. GND

9. NC
10. Button 5

15. Up

*As with the other outputs on the board, pin 8 will only be outputting +5v if this board is receiving power from the I/O board over JAMMA. The board will still function if it is not receiving power, but none of the outputs will work (whether or not your controller will work without the +5v on pin 8 depends on how it’s wired. Standard Neo Geo/Supergun controllers should function without it).

A board designed to help make building a joystick for a Neo Geo easy and clean. This design uses terminal blocks with a 5mm pitch.

The design has screw terminals for each line from the DB15 connector as well as terminals for each button and the joystick. There is also space for an LED (powered by the +5v from the Neo Geo) and an extra terminal for the +5v line in case you want to do something with that.

The board is designed for use with Phoenix Contact’s Combicon PT series 5mm terminal blocks (however others with the same pitch will most likely fit). There are 6 2 position blocks for the buttons (+1 extra if you want one for +5v). There is 1 5 position terminal block for the joystick and 1 15 position terminal block for the DB15 in from the system. You could use the board just fine without populating the terminals (soldering directly to the holes for the terminals) but if that’s your goal a nicer and smaller board could be made with just pads/holes.

Note: The LED (including its resistor R1) and the +5v terminal block are completely optional.
