MVS Cab and Atomiswave, also a Super Nova

Ok, please do not flame me, I have read every Atomiswave thread that now occupies the 55% of the website, so bare with me.

I have the chance to aquire a MVS 2 SLot cab, and now this Atomiswave is comming, I like progress, and I like the possibilities, but would it be possibel to hook up this board to the Neo Geo MVS Cab? I knwo that there are not enough buttons, but maybe I can switch the board to CAPCOM layout. Any and all possibilities and info would be greatly appreciated.

I ALSO understand that the Super Nova may be used, how? I head I need to hack the wires or something, IDK.


My Super Nova System comes with an aditional kick harness for CAPCOM style games for 6 buttons, can this be used? If not how do I get my Super Nova to fully use the Atomiswave??? What exactly does this projact detail?


Again I am in the dark on both of these issues, thansk for the space....

First of all, I still don't own an Atomiswave (I'm in the proces of getting one) nor a cab nor a supernova (I have a similar supergun but it directly outputs RGB into my TV).

From what I know right now (when I get my Atomiswave and its manual I should be able to confirm it or not, I might write a FAQ as well), you should be able to plug the Atomiswave in your MVS cab, but the sound might require rewiring (a multi-slot outputs stereo through JAMMA harness, while the Atomiswave outputs mono through it, and stereo through a separate connector).
About buttons, the A,B,C,D buttons of MVS will work as 1,2,3,4 on Atomiswave. The select button in the cab would work as button 5, and if you really need it (notice that few games might need it) you could just add another action button in the cab and wire it.

About the buttons in the supernova, it depends on how it is designed/wired. If you can use it with a MVS board OK, then it will work as well in the Atomiswave (with the same notice as in a cab I just described). If not, and it has a kick harness, you should connect wires from the kick harness to the appropriate pins of the JAMMA harness.

About the image, there's a bit of contradictions in the current info (check Verbatum's thread in unrelated). You should be able to view it in a regular cab or in a TV through a supergun, but the quality won't be the "best" one unless you use the VGA output.

Take all this with a grain of salt, I am not 100% sure.

Thansk alot, My Super Nova ALLows 4 buttons, so lemy know what I have to do, I guess I still need to hack the Kick harness?

If your supernova allows you to use all 4 buttons in your MVS, then you will be able to use 4 buttons in the AW. If you want to use the AW 5th button, you need to select one of the 2 remaining buttons in your controller to act as 5. Then you must figure out which of the wires of the kick harness is connected to that button. Then you must connect that wire somehow to pin 26 of the JAMMA harness.
