Title: Is Jamma ALWAYS Interchangable? Post by: Netropolis on November 27, 2014, 10:18:35 pm I have a couple of Jamma cabinets now... Both came pre-wired and work just fine.
They have old 1980's PCB's in them that also work great. What I want to know is, can the games be simply swapped because they are both Jamma? (Monitor Orientation aside - I get a vertical has to go with a vertical and likewise for horizontal) What I am asking is, will a Jamma harness from 1987 be wired the same as a 19 in 1 board I just got? Plug, configure and play? Title: Re: Is Jamma ALWAYS Interchangable?

JAMMA is there to make pcbs from 1987 up interchangeable, regardless of the cabinet. So, yes. Title: Re: Is Jamma ALWAYS Interchangable?

The joystick and three button setup work for a ton of games, Street fighter 2 versions have kick harnesses, 4P games have 3P/and 4P connectors and some games have wired in sound cards/extra wires for speakers
