Is it easy to put a kick harness on superguns?

Specifically I have a Raijin and will be getting a Mas Super Nova. Is it easy to do or complicated. I don't do any of this so i was wondering.

well, I don't know what a "Raijin" is, but I have a supernova and have made the kick harnesses to hook it's kick harness up to games like cps2 systems and sf2ce.

I am not 100%, but this is my guess. You would wire a controller or arcade stick's 4,5, and 6 buttons to the plug that goes into the supergun's controller socket. Then, from the inside of the supergun, on the controller sockets back side, there will be unconnected pins. as the wires from the 4,5,and 6 buttons will go to the pins that would match up on the socket with those that are NC and wries connected to the 4 buttons. Then wire those and make an adapter for 6 wires (maybe molex 6 plug) on your supergun. Hook the wires from the 4,5,and 6 buttons on the 1st and 2nd controller port to the 6 pin molex socket and that part is done. Then, make hadapters for the different games, because those 4,5,and 6 buttons are connected to some spot on the arcade board itself. I highly advise testing the buttons before fully pushing in the crimp things into the molex 6 wire male plug that would plug into the socket on the supergun. Just to make sure the right buttons are connected. You can find the kick button pin outs for most boards online, as well as were to find the right pins on the different boards.

I don't know 100% if this will work or makes sense even....but it's what I would do if I was going to try that :) WHICH I HAVEN'T!!!! and am just guessing....

Ive done it and it works fine, as long as all the points in the circuit are touching, but thats down to your quality of soldering.

Personally dude, I couldnt have put that better myself.

In a related question, what type of connector does the kick harness use on the pcb side? From NGT's post, it sounds like there is no universal connection; it varies from board to board.
