If it was really that easy, someone would have made one that always works by now and they would be a lot cheaper than $300. Sorry I don't really have anything more useful than that.

Just a thought and probably a very ignorant and flame worthy one. But would it be possible to fabricate a jamma to AES converter?
In other words a device that has a jamma input and an AES output? Surely somebody thought of this and dropped the idea because it is impossible?

Maybe I'm just confused, but aren't you describing a supergun? A device that lets you connect JAMMA PCBs to the TV?
Or are you talking about wiring up an AES in an arcade cabinet? For that you'd have to mod the system to output RGB (either directly or through some sort of connector like SCART). The power and controller wiring shouldn't be that hard.

They probably have some minor differences in the SNK chips which make things hard. I mean, who would they be stopping if a $5 adaptor could foil their protection?not sonic said:

Why would they want to stop someone from spending thousands of dollars on the MVS version over the AES version? Back then MVS carts were alot more money and AES carts were cheap.

other pic.
it looks like it is 1:1 for the most part. with the exception of the ic and whatever them things on the back are.

The Phantom -1 boards are coated and the chip was in some sort of bottle cap encapsulation of epoxy. I broke it open and shattered the chip but was able to get the IC Identifier. I have it written down and I will post it when I find it.
I don't own a SCII anymore and didn't snap any photos but the IC had no identifier. The PCB's of course are custom.

The Phantom-1 used the first version of the CMC copy protection chip found on the CHAR boards of games like Kof 99, Strikers 1945+, etc.
A 1:1 isn't possible (well, maybe, who knows), but an IC's is missing on the MVS carts that are actually on the MVS arcade board. Just compare an AES CHAR board to the same game MVS CHAR board and see what's missing
I believe the early converters used the IC found on first gen boards, like Magicial Lord... Never really looked into this stuff to far.
