Sky Shark JAMMA Board: wtf?

Circa2113 · May 31, 2007

I received this board today, but can't play it.

The JAMMA connector is really thin--too thin to stay in any of the connectors I have.

Anyone have any boards like this? What should I do?

Try a finger board.

If you look to the left, there are two versions.

you could always bend the pins on the connector to make it tighter.

I'd rather not resort to that as I still have the original Egret II JAMMA harness installed. I really don't want to have to make an adapter though. (JAMMA-->JAMMA would be dumb as hell)

Well, I suppose I may bend them. I really want to play this one. :emb:

I'm going to give it a go in just a minute.

You shouldnt have to bend them very much maybe just move them 1mm since its on both sides.

It was only half successful. :crying:

The connector stays in the harness, but the connection is still a bit loose. It boots now, but the graphics are amazingly wavy.

Would a sync cleaner fix it?
