Hi all,
OK, so here is what I want, let me know if anyone out there can do it. I have a 2 slot cab that I want to turn into a SEGA ST-V. However, I do not want to rewire the cab to JAMMA, I would rather keep it wired for the 2-slot and use a JAMMA edge board to new harness that would allow me to plug in a ST-V board. Between the edge and the new harness I would like a foot or two (more is probably better here) of cable so I can figure out where I want to put the board later if it does not fit up front. I will pay for all parts needed for the conversion plus $50 for assembling it all nice for me. Please contact me if you can do this, and we can work out all the details. Thanks all,

-Nick

Funny you should post this nick, I need EXACTLY the same thing!! I have a 2-slot factory original Neo cabinet, and want a multislot-MVS to jamma adapter (due to the fact that there are small differences in the multislot pinouts).

I actually saved the Neotokens page that was previously hosted under classicgaming.com, which has diagrams and instructions for making one of these. (The page was later taken down, unfortunately). I've never done this kind of project and kind of don't know where to start, although I'm sure I could make one given the time and motivation.

I think maybe if you check out the info I saved it might help to determine what parts are needed and how to approach it. I can email that stuff to you, have it saved at home . . .

This is a easy to solve, buy a jamma fingerboard, a jamma harness, and some wire.

Print out the jamma pinout, and the 2 slot pinout, then just make the adaptor by soldering some wires, easy.

So you are saying you will make one for me Drift King? <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> I have two people that have said they could do this already... I know I could do it, but I am not the best at soldiering and would rather have it done right the first time. Lots of wire, lots of places to make a mistake <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
