I want to get a consolized MVS, but rather than buy one, I would like to make my own as it is half the fun. I know I have the soldering and technical skills necessary, I just can't seem to find any decent diagrams with what goes where.

Can anyone prod me in the right direction?

Thanks

It's an interesting post, but I think you should to ask specific questions. I think you mean a consolized mvs, not an supergun + MVS board.

Wich board do you want to use, a 2-Slot is ok?

Well, I've started some how-to's for my site (www.neobitz.com) but I won't be able to get back to working on my site until after the 1st.

Most of the process of consolization is just common sense and following the JAMMA layout/pinout. Seriously. For the RGB lines for the video encoder, you connect them to the RGB pins on the JAMMA edge. For +5V for the encoder, you connect it to the +5V pin on the JAMMA edge. And so on.

Interesting...

Looks like this will be more interesting than I originally thought.

And yes, I intend to try and get my hands on a 2-slot mvs.

That's basically what I was going to say... technically the vast majority of the project is wiring to the JAMMA standard. How you case it is up to you; the possibilities are endless. Start by studying the JAMMA (or MVS) pinouts.
