I was using this guide as a Pinout guide as I'm trying to connect my stereo speakers in my cab.

http://www.system16.com/cybercade/jamma.html

Now how do I tell which wires are which? I know on the speakers theres the left and right speaker, with a positive and negative contact for each. Now I see L, and 10, marked as "Speaker - and Speaker +" but which speaker? Then theres "Audio + and Audio Ground"..huh? Tell me JAMMA doesnt have stereo on it.

Edit - hot damn. From what I understand JAMMA did not have stereo. Looks like I need to splice some RCA wires to my Capcom IO.
Edit 2 - OR, for the sake of other non-naomi games, Wire up the left channel to the JAMMA connector and the right to the RCA. Hmm...

I'm not talking about a neo, I'm talking about a MKII cabinet that was converted to Capcom vs SNK. Apparently, when using the Capcom I/O converter, it sends both left and right channels to one speaker. At first I thought there was a way to wire a left and right channel from the JAMMA harness, but unfortunately I dont believe there is.

The MKII cab had one large 6 1/2" speaker and a smaller 3" speaker that was used for God knows what. Now I have to figure out a way, somehow, to re-wire the harness so that I can have the JAMMA's sound channel output to both speakers, AND have the RCA out from the I/O connected to them as well without obviously, sending double signals at the same time.

The main goal here is that CvS is not just my CvS cab, but also my test cab. I use it to test any pcb's I acquire to make sure they're working correctly. Now, if I have my speakers connected via RCA, and I plug up a CPS2 board, there will of course, be no sound. I'm trying to find a way around this so that I can have stereo coming out of the naomi, and if I'm not using the naomi, to have mono coming out of both speakers via the I/O and JAMMA harness. This is going to be a little tricky. :angry:

MKII is mono, the small speaker is the "tweeter" afaik, whatever there is one connection to L and 10 on the jamma edge connect.

MVS however is wired like this
