Not being lazy. Just wanted to know if this thing was even neccesary. I read a thread that people had their sound amps blown out because certain neo boards are not fully JAMMA .

It's a good option if you only have 1 cab, and swap a multislot MVS board for JAMMA PCBs ona regular basis. It saves from having to rewire your cab everytime you do it.

To be honest, the sound is really weird on my astro city with my 4slot, and it'd be worth it for an adapter.

Either that or a swap withsomeone for a 1slot that's wired for JAMMA already.

Would it be beneficial for Consolizing an MVS 1-slot, speciafically an MV-1C Board?
Or a waste of money?

Safely converts the standard NeoGeo MVS system pinout to work correctly in a standard JAMMA type arcade cabinet. All NeoGeo MVS units are almost fully JAMMA compatible; however, they have a small twist in their pinout scheme. Connecting a NeoGeo MVS system directly into a JAMMA connection will damage the MVS audio amplifier! The most important feature of this MVS to JAMMA adapter is to safely convert the MVS stereo output to work in the standard JAMMA single speaker setup. If the JAMMA cabinet has stereo speakers, this adapter also provides an easy 4 pin Molex connection for crisp stereo sound (this is the preferred, but not necessary, s

This is false as all one slots are jamma compatable. The stereo ones have switches to go mono.

Not for a 1C as you get stereo off the chip not the edge.

Would this adapter solve my vertical hold issues when throwing in a 2-slot board ?

There is something I have to wire from one part of the board to the other yeah ?
total noob on cabs.

No sound issues but throwing out straight picture... Forget it :mad:

EDIT: http://www.arcadecabinets.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=32

There it is... Threw in both "consolized" 2-slots & SonicWings as it was the only JAMMA I had at the time to try out...

No issues with the later AW board I picked up.

Thanks for answering my next question. If I can get my hands on a MV-1C board then I will shoot you a P.M. on how to wire or where to wire up Stereo. I didn't want to sabatoge someone elses thread with my noob questions.

I've been having sound issues with my Egret 2 and MVS 4-slot. I ordered this and should have it today. Tim, with Jammaboards.com has been extremely helpful. So, as of now, I can say the customer service has been really good. I'll give my input once I've given the adapter a try tonight.

Received the Jamma/MVS converter. I purchased it to resolve a sound issue with my Egret 2. Currently, my background music is very loud, while all sound effects...gunfire, punching, voices are barely audible. In sound check, both "Right" and "Left" test ok. "Center" fails.

I added the adapter. The sound is perfect! In sound Test, left, right and center test ok. Unfortunately, now that the sound works my button mapping has been oddly tweaked. Controller 1 & 2 "A" button now function as "A" & "select". So every time I try to throw a punch in MOTW, my game is PAUSED. My actual "select" button is no longer working.

I've sent an email to Ted @ Jamma Boards. Hopefully, there's a simple solution. If anyone here has a suggestion, please let me know. Here is a pic of the adapter plugged into my JAMMA.

edit: I've rec'd correspondence from JammaBoard. I don't think the issue is with the adapter. I'll keep you all posted on results.

the funny thing is that the egret has a stereo connector that matches the one on the 4-slot. the pinout could be different but the wires could be swapped correctly in seconds to get stereo sound off the MVS. But 99% of candy cab owners are so clueless about these simple things that it's like rocket science to them and they end up buying these funky items that generally cause more problems than they're supposed to solve.

"Clueless", not in all cases. Not willing to tamper with something you could potentially ruin, is my bet for why people purchase things like this. I for one, will try what's easy first....then, if I have to, pay someone else to do it.

Problem resolved! MVS connector works like a champ. My Unibios setting was set for Console. Once I switched it to MVS, I had no problems with the "A" buttons on controller one or two. I recommend this product for those of you like me.....JAMMA Wire impaired. Thanks to those of you that made an effort to help me resolve this issue. In particular, KPJ, Razoola and Ted.

Now after 4 weeks of piecing the Egret together, I finally get to truly enjoy it!!
:lol:
