I've finally done it. Well, kinda... I got my home MVS setup to work. I got a 2 slot in a custom cut wooden case (cut by me :D ). It's like a giant SNES. There are 4 video outs(RGB, Arcade monitor RGB, Composite and S-Video). Only problem is, sound. I use the JAMMA harness for the sound out. Only thing is, it's mono out. When I plug it into stereo recievers I only get 1/3 the sound. Only my mono TV accepts the full signal but I don't want to damage the TV by plugging in a pre-amplified sound input. Is there any way to split the signal into stereo? Or am I doomed to use only mono speakers?

Well you can split it but you wont get true stereo, just 2 speakers instead of one.
Congrats!

You might be able to do a few modifications to yout jamma harness to get stereo out of it, but doing then will mean that you won't be able to use normal jamma games anymore. Check <a href="http://www.hardmvs.com" target="_blank">www.hardmvs.com</a> for some more info.

So you want mono sound from 2 speakers...right?

well, you can connect 2 speakers either serially or in a parallel way... remember, however, that the Jamma standard requires 8 ohm total impedence and if you do the serial connection you'll have to get two 4 ohm speakers (4 ohm + 4 ohm = 8 ohm), if you do the parallel connection you must have two 16 ohm speakers (16/2 ohm = 8 ohm).

Serial: + from Jamma harness to + on one speaker and - from Jamma harness to - on the other speaker and then connect the remaining - and + of the speakers together.

Parallel: + and - from the Jamma harness to + and - of one speaker and from there to + and - of the other speaker.
