easiest way to put a computer in a jamma cab?

Post by shaktazuki »

Sorry for the stupid question, but suppose you had an astro city with 2l 12b + capcom kick harness for the extra buttons. What's the easiest way to replace the internal system with a computer? Say, to run CPS3 emulator?

Ok, I guess this is the meat of my concern: how to handle the capcom kick harness, for buttons 4-6? I would rather not destroy it or cut it off the existing wiring harness for the control panel.

Wire the buttons directly to the J-PAC. Then there's no kick harness to **** up.

Yes, very easy to screw it up.
