NEOGEO MVS PCB with 2Joystick ports on regular Jamma Cabinet

NEOGEO MVS PCB with 2 Joystick ports on regular Jamma Cabinet.

Hello,
I’m interested in buying a NEOGEO MVS PCB to play some MVS carts which I own.
I noticed that the 2 cart slot MVS PCBs have 2 joystick ports as well as the Jamma port and stereo output.
I own a regular Arcade cabinet with 2 joysticks, 2 sets of 6-buttons, a regular Jamma slot and one speaker (Mono sound) connected to the Jamma slot of the cabinet.





My queries are:

1. Will the 2 cart slot MVS PCBs work on my regular Jamma arcade cabinet (Both joysticks and Mono sound) if I connect the MVS PCB to the cabinet Jamma slot and leave the extra 2 joystick ports and stereo output of the MVS PCB unconnected?

2. Do the 1 cart slot MVS PCBs also feature 2 Joystick ports and Stereo output and should I get one of these instead?

Thanks in advance

You can look at the MVS pinpout and compare it to the Jamma pinout.
It will also give you a list of all MVS PCB's. Great palce to start without members having to give you long winded explanations.

Also check out this adapter. Supposed to be good for multi slot MVS boards. I only own a 1-slot, so I've never used it.

Other than having to swap out your MVS carts...if you get a 1-slot PCB, you don't need to make any modifications. My cab is wired for Jamma and I have a 1-Slot MVS board as well as a Capcom CPS-2 Board. The MVS board is wired for stereo and the CPS-2 board is mono.

IIRC only 1 slot boards will run mono sound. Some have a switch that goes from stereo to mono. Multi slot MVS boards run stereo only.

Its possible that I am reading your post incorrectly, but you do NOT need joystick ports on the board to run with the joysticks in your cabinet. Those joysticks are wired through the JAMMA pins like other JAMMA boards do. The joystick ports on some Neo MVS motherboards are intended to be used with the joysticks from the Neo Geo home system.

Check hardmvs, they have tons of info.

I would suggest getting one of these. I have the Jamma to MVS cab one and it works great playing all my jamma boards on my MVS cab.
