JVStrike Problem

[Shadolf]

Hey Guys,

I have my NAOMI Universal Cab (Triforce, Virtua Striker 4) since a few days and I´m going crazy about what to do with it.

I´d like to do a PC-Emulator setup at the first place. Later on I also like to have the possibility to connect my Dreamcast, Xbox360, Saturn and when i´m more into it, also using CPS2/3, Atomiswave, NAOMI 2 hardware.

Someone at another forum told me to use a JVS-PAC and let the JVS I/O in the cab.
Now my plan is like following, dismounting the Triforce/GD-Rom etc from the Cab, buy a JVS-PAC or JVStrike and connect it to the JVS I/O and the PC, buy new buttons and (digital) sticks and connect them to the JVS I/O.
The problem is, I can´t get the wires and plugs etc. that I need for the connection of the new contols and I can´t use the old, because the Sticks are analog. I´d like to have a 2L12B.

Has someone of you good suggestions what is the best for me to do or were I can buy those wires? I want to be as flexible as possible.

P.S.: I will use the cab in a vertical setup for Shmups mainly

I'll be obliged to buy your analog sticks.
As for the cables, you buy them to the same shop you buy your digital stick and buttons.

[codecrank]

You can get a players looms from giz10p.co.uk , or sometimes people sell used ones on the forums.

for 2L12B , you need two 1L3B looms and one extra button looms.

[Shadolf]

I think about selling you the Sticks, but maybe I will just sell the whole VS4 Kit.

When I use the player cables there are already in, I have already 6 buttons + Start for every player.
So I just need to place some digital sticks in and for these I need the wires.
Can I make my own wires with one 8-pin AMP UP plug?
The digital sticks will be connected to the female connectors at the bottom row of the JVS I/O?!
The analog sticks are currently plugged into the upper row (yellow female).
Is there any wiring diagram for the "Stick"-plug? Which pin is to which button?

[Braintrash]

AFAIK, these kind of connector need expensive tools, but I may be wrong. I have yet to try to do one myself.

As for the wiring diagram, you should be safe with this one:

[codecrank]

I'll take it that this is what you have



connectors and pins are cheap ( giz10p.co.uk ) , but you'll need an open barrel crimp tool
http://www.amazon.com/Delphi-Packard-Fi ... B003MWJ6SA" this work good for 95% of arcade crimp connectors.

you're going to have to completely rewire your player harnesses. so you have 1 stick + 4 buttons + start per harness. you can have up to 5 suppose but i'm not sure what use those square buttons would be... the only way to have 6 buttons is you use the extra button loom, or I suppose wiring button 6 directly to the 60pin RA connector on the JVS io.

you're also going to have to build a 5pin wire harness for the the joysticks, digital sticks are wired with 5pin NH headers usually, terminate that harness in the 12pin amp connectors . see pic posted above.

when you buy seimitsu sticks they come with a short 5pin harness ( what too short ) . you'll want to use seimitsu since you're going to be flat mounting on the panel.

Hey Guys,

I have some trouble right now.
I´m connecting the button looms for player 1 and 2 right now.
But now I wanted to connect the exra button loom and I can´t find a AMP Type B 10pin Female on my board. Instead I have one AMP Type B 15pin Female on the right side, were the 10pin is on the pcture of "codecrack".
Can I simply plug my 10pin in that 15 pin female? Or will I damage something. Can someone post me som scematics/pictures like the one above with the conectors I have here in my cab, please?
What shoud I do?

@codecrank: Yeah, it looks like this on your foto. + after the bouth 12pin plugs, there comes even more.
It seems they connect those 3 extra square buttons per player to pin 1-4. The connections from the stick go bouth into on plug with 8 pins.

Thanks

Hey,
has someone here experience with the JVStrike?
I connected it to my JVS I/O-Board and than to my PC.
Have Win7 and under devices and printers I can see the JVStrike (JVS-PAC is there to read!?) with an symbol of an keyboard.
Tested any input with MS Word and with MAME and got nothing. And I´ve seen that LED1 and LED2 on the JVS I/O shining red, is this any problem?
What I doin wrong? Please help.
Thanks

The JVStrike is a JVS-PAC boot. I don't know about the boot but the original one has different firmware for PC, PS3 etc. Do you have the correct firmware?

[Shadolf]

Hi yosai,
I don´t know what firmware I have. How can I check this. Are there any instructions for the device?
Thanks

[yosai]

No idea, send them an email.

I understand it's too late now, but the JVS-PAC is flawless, cannot recommend invzim's work highly enough.

[Shadolf]

F..k, I´ve seen the JVS-PAC too late or it wasn´t awailable an so i bought the JVStrike.
It seems this one is BS.
When I connect it only to PC, LED1 lights Yellow, and I can see windows is recognizing the JVStrike as a keyboard, but I can´t get any input when I connect it to the JVS I/O and push some buttons.

EDIT: Now it works. I don´t know what was the problem. I plugged it to onother usb port at my pc.

[Spectre]

Sounds to me like you're doing it the hard way. Buy a replacement 2L12B panel with harnesses, plug it in, job done.

I agree... sell that panel and use the money to get a replacement.

[Shadolf]

Hey Guys,
maybe I haven´t made clear I have a new 2L12B CP. I will connect this, or mybe should I say I have this already connected to the JVS-I/O. The two standard player looms with 3 buttons each and the problem was with the extra button loom for the other buttons. This has a 10 pin male plug but there is no 10 pin female on the JVS-I/O, just a 15 pin female. I looked a bit at the wiring and so on and then I just pluged the 10 pin male on top off the 15 pin femal and it worked.

Now I have another problem. I connected mi JVS with an JVStrike to my PC and I played a lot of games with MAME, DEMUL and PCSX2. Nearly anything works fine, BUT....
I encountered some kind off input lag sometimes occuring at a game and sometimes even some buttons or directions at the stick doesn´t work anymore.
I sadly don´t remember the first game I detected this but I remeber the other one (In the Hunt, played in MAME). Here the problem comes everytime. I even changed the joysticks (SEIMITSU LS-58-01). Mostly at the beginning but also later. Sometimes just one direction doesn´t work, sometimes more directions, sometimes I simply goes away again, but sometimes I can´t even hit the start button to continue. I always have to turn off the game. What problem is this? The joysticks should be ok, cause I play hundred of other games with em. Just some games seem to have a problem, and only with MAME till now.

Do you think it could have something to do with the JVStrike or mybe the I/O? Please help someone, I´m working on this for hours/days now. I think you´ll agree, crazy controls aren´t acceptable.

I connected mi JVS with an JVStrike ... Please help someone, I´m working on this for hours/days now. I think you´ll agree, crazy controls aren´t acceptable.

you bought a JVS-PAC bootleg... good luck getting help on that one, especially here.

[crunchywasp]

I didn't realise the JVS-PAC had been cloned and wondered what a JVStrike was. Lame



It's a pity that his hand's been forced but there's a 30% discount on the JVS-PAC for disappointed JVStrike buyers:

He's a member here:

You should request a refund for the JVStrike and buy the real thing

[Shadolf]

Yeah, sh.t, I´ve seen that before on jvspac.kirurg.org but the JVC-PAC wasn´t available and I really wanted to play at my new cab
I´ll definatly buy a JVC-PAC to. I´m soo sad aboud this. But still there is now new stock at this time
I can play with the JVStrike right now, but have problems with some games just stoping some buttons n switches from the sticks to work in the middle of the game (In the Hunt, played in MAME).
Can someone tell me if this problems also exist with a real JVS-PAC?

[cools]

I've never had any stuck keys with any of the JVS-PACs I've had, they actually work better than a J-PAC or JammASD in that regard.
