Im so amuetuer. Heres one for you guys to laugh at. I got it all working though. Using the Vogatek MKV i just got with an MVS board. Making the controller cable was my first real soldering project. I got get all of my stuff organized. Just threw it together to make sure it all works. I wanna eventually put the MK V into an xbox 360 shell ala Freedom Gundam.
For that monster hole I guess getting a Switch craft HD15 passthough. And get a DB 15 cable (similar to what used for neo geo controllers) and two matching HD 15 (VGA connector) connector and hood.
Mod your cable so your DB 15 (wider plug) goes to the super gun, and the HD 15 goes towards your stick. It will clean up that Rats Nest of wire you have there. the 2nd VGA connector would be used ont he inside to connect to the panel mount connector.
How well does it work with Model 3 games and System 246 games? A local arcade operator is liquidating some of his games, and VF3 and Tekken 4 are on wholesale. I would snatch them up for home use, but I need to find out if they work out well with a supergun.
If that doesn’t work, then I can just lease them out or sell em to a local pawn shop.
I’m not sure if you’re understanding what a “Supergun” is, based on your question.
The Supergun is essentially something that interfaces controls input and audio/video output with an arcade board, and usually power as well.
So essentially, it’s a homemade adapter, in its simplest definition. As such, it technically is compatible with EVERYTHING. Including modded SNES’, Genesis’, etc.
If you’re asking about a very specific Supergun (ie, a Vogatek, or even something custom that Jason Hicks makes) you’re going to have to actually mention which supergun you’re talking about.
Also note that neither System 246 nor Model 3 use JAMMA as their connection standard; System 246 uses a pseudo-JVS (info here), while the Model 3 uses something completely different, if I’m not mistaken.
Any power supply would work, technically. 20-pin is just a standard PC motherboard Molex connector. Just google the pinout, and build yourself the connector.
Well, you might, but that depends on your Supergun.
I don’t know how the pins are routed on your Supergun, but if each of the pins (or at least, all the 5V/12V/-5V/Gnd pins) are routed individually to separate points, you might actually need to supply those voltages at those pins; ie, the board might be looking for those voltages at those specific pins, so you’ll need to provide it there one way or another.
On the flipside, from the 20-pin connector on the board, if all the 12V lines are connected on your Supergun’s side, as are the 5V, -5V, Gnd, and whatever else (to other lines of the same type), you might be able to get away with just connecting one line of each type to the 20-pin Molex connector.
