Opinion: Arcadeshop Centi to JAMMA

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I told myself I would never piece together a game ever again...what do I
do, piece together a Centipede.

So I won a "Complete Centipede wiring harness minus the video connector" on
eBay the other month. I am finally getting around to doing something with
it. I fix a newly acquired ARII and get ready to test voltages on the wire
harness. The "Complete Centipede wiring harness minus the video connector"
wiring harness is missing the smaller of the two edge connectors! ARGH!

I came across the Centi to JAMMA adapter at Arcadeshop. This would really
make my life easy in terms of this de-conversion. The cab is wired JAMMA
(very nicely done, I might add)at the moment.

Any opinions on the arcadeshop adapter board?

Thanks!
-Tom

Scott,

Thanks for the info.

I just ran into a minor roadblock of no 22v on the ARII. I am going to
fix this first and go from there. I can get the edge connector locally. I
am lucky to have about 6 surplus electronics stores in my general area.

Best Regards,
Tom
