Product No. P-001

First things first, try reading the manual, that may answer some of your questions. You can download a .pdf version of it here. While not perfect, it does cover a lot of info about these boards. Next, let's go over some of the components on the board, since this seems to be a main area that generates lots and lots of questions. Please note corresponding numbers on the picture above:

1. Yup, that's a standard Molex power supply connector. I'm not sure why you would need this, but I guess if you don't have a switcher hooked up to your Jamma harness, you could power it up from here.

2. Yes, that's a VGA connector. You can hook up a VGA monitor to this board, just make sure your dipswitch settings are correct on the board. There's more on that in the "PCB Dipswitch Settings" section of the manual.

3. Speaker jack. Simple enough.

4. Volume control. Clockwise is loud, counter-clockwise is less loud. Use a very small Phillips-head screwdriver on this to avoid boogering it up.

5. "CON 2" is as far as I know, not for the end user. No conceivable use has been determined for this yet. If you know of one, please let us know, we will add it here.

And now, without further ado, we move on to the list of Frequently Asked Questions!!

Q: There is a connector labeled CON2. It something able to plug into this connector (or is it only used to program the board)?
A: See above

Q: Some of the games (Centipede, Millipede) use a trackball, but I see no connector to attach a trackball (and the JAMMA pinout doesn't support a trackball either). How/Where do you connect a trackball to this board?
A: As of right now, the manufacturer does not support a trackball for this board. If there is someone out there who has figured out a way to do it, please let us know, we will post it on this page!

Q: There is a power connector labeled CON8. Is this meant to allow auxiliary power in place of power supplied by the JAMMA connector (or does this board require power from CON8 as well as power from the JAMMA
connector)?
A: This board does not require an additional power source if your Jamma harness already has a switching power supply hooked up to it. You may be able to use this in lieu of a switcher, but I don't really see why you would.

Q: There is a connector label J1. Is this connector for an external stereo speaker? Does VR1 adjust the volume level on J1?
A: Yes and yes! See above.

Q: The pictures on the website show a chip in one of the DIP sockets, but my board has no chip in the socket. Is there supposed to be a 40 pin chip in this socket?
A: It depends. If you have a newer 39-in-1, then you will probably NOT have a chip in either one of these sockets. Custom boards which have been special ordered may have chips in these sockets.

Q: I bought a 9-in-1 from you last year. Can I add more games to it now?
A: Unfortunately, no. We have asked the manufacturer about this many times, and we never seem to get a reason why, just "no".

Q: My board came today, and when I installed it and turned on my machine, it didn't work! What am I supposed to do with this piece of crap now?!?
A: First, take a deep breath. Ok... we offer a 90 day warranty on all 39-in-1's against DOA, and a 180 day warranty on custom boards. All we ask is that you cover the shipping back to us, we'll take care of the rest. I should mention that we test every board we sell before it ships, so the odds of getting a DOA board are pretty slim. We've had 1 board come back in over a year, and the guy admitted that he had the power hooked up wrong and he smoked it. We were still able to cover it under warranty!

Q: How the heck do I get into this setup menu you're talking about in the manual? I don't see a test switch on this board anywhere!
A: When we say "test switch" or "service switch", we are of course referring to the switches on your cabinet. If you don't have them on your cabinet, you're going to have to wire some up to your jamma harness. There's a pinout in the manual that shows you where they should be. We suggest holding down the "test" button while you power up the machine to get into the setup menu. The rest is fairly self explanatory.

Q: Do these games look and play just like the originals?
A: Quite frankly, yes. Unless you had the original machine sitting right next to it while you were playing the game, you probably wouldn't even know the difference. There are, of course, a few quirks, but for the most part, they are pretty close. Plus, you can go in and make changes to the games that you couldn't on the originals, like making Ms. Pac play fast (or with hearts) and other neat stuff like that. Refer back to the manual for the settings for all the games.

Q: Can I set this board for freeplay/Can this board be set to take quarters?
A: Oh yeah, there are many, many coin adjustments that can be made, check the manual.

Q: Didn't I just ask you when they were going to come out with a new update? You said you didn't know, and now there's a 48-in-1, what's up with that?
A: All I can say is, we don't know anything about the update until it happens, and I apologize!!

Q: Wow, they finally came out with a board for horizontal games! Say, there isn't any way that I can mix the horizontal and vertical games together on one board is there?
A: Sorry man, you can't. The vertical games come on one board, the horizontal games come on another.

Q: Why can't I get all 19 horizontal games on one board?
A: For reasons that are quite beyond our control, we are not able to get a board with all 19 games on it right now. When they start making them with all the games available on one board, rest assured, we will be carrying it!
