Question about neo geo controller pinout

Rengoku · Oct 19, 2005

Hi all,
i'm working to make a stick with sanwa parts to use for neo geo aes

i've found this: http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/neocont.htm

but D button is linked twice

once on pin 4 and another on pin 9

so what i have to do?link only on one pin (which one?) or link 4 and 9 to the same pushbutton?

I personally used only pin 4 and it worked OK with my old-style stick. It would also work if you only used pin 9. You can also use both at the same time (may be required for the new style and NGCD pad if you were to buid a control port for a supergun). :chimp:

Could someone explain please the use of two pins for a single button?

I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the mahjong controller? No idea, but it's no big deal. It's actually quite useful for supergun use because the 4th button is not JAMMA standar, and this way you can do some combination with a kick harness for 6-button capcom games in a supergun.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but yes, just connecting ground and the corresponding wire to each microswitch an arcade controller will work in the Neo.

you only need to wire 'button D' to pins 4 and 9 of the JOYPORTS, if you're building a supergun or consolized systems.

if you're building a controller of some sort, then you can chose, which of the 2 pins you want to use. as long as the joyports of the system are wired up proberly, it'll work.

and if i link either pin 4 and pin 9 this will work everywhere?

supergoose · Oct 19, 2005

as long as the joyports are wired up to both pins, yes.

ok thx guys

Pin 9 need not be used at all, either on the stick or on the joy ports. Note that on mobos with joy ports pin 4 is connected to the jamma pins and therefore is enough...
