I'll help where i can. I recently got into HNG64.

Over here in the UK the mobos seen very common. Theres a lot of NOS boxed united about. I picked one up for £10 last month (about 17 dollars).

Games vary a bit more but i have bought 3 so far for around £15 each.

As I understand it there are 2 revisions of the mobo, the first is MVS wired and the second has a switch to swap between MVS and Jamma. All the ones I've seen round here have been the second one. (you are aware that there are 3 mobos yeah? 1 for fighters, 1 for driving and 1 for shooters).

Hope that helps in some small way. I think its a very under-rated system. I have very much enjoyed Fatal Fury and Samurai Spirits 2 on it. Such a shame there wasnt more games

Mobos here are a little more expensive, and the majority are Rev 1. I've got an extra one I'm trying to move dip. Let me know if you're interested.

No, the mobo is still jamma but the audio is a separate plug into the motherboard, so you will either need the cable or to modify the mobo itself for audio over jamma, which will be mono of course.

Yes it will work in the Blast, as all fighting games I think are 4 button. For sound you'll need the cable that sometimes comes with the mobo or have one made for you.

You can actually do line level out, which is using RCA cables. I'll pull my cables out and try to show you the connectors.

Here we go

Here's the power cable and the spot it plugs in

Here's the other end of the power cable

The other end has speaker connections, but I'm sure you could make some RCA adapter type cables if you wanted to. If you did this I would recommend keeping the audio knob on the HNG Mobo turned real low and to not trash the audio amp. I'm not guaranteeing that it still won't damage the amp doing it this way, some have said it does. I personally have had no issue with it.

Well I can plug the mobo into my blast city, it gets power from the jamma edge. The extra power cable if I'm not mistaken is for 5v and a ground for more power to the board, I remember reading something here about not really needing that extra power.

Stock, no the HNG doesn't have audio over Jamma. You have to do a modification to the mobo to have mono audio over Jamma.

Here is the manual

Here is how to do the modfication.

All thanks go to Turfy for this, without him I couldn't have done it on one of mine.
