Heavy Barrel to Ikari Warriors?

[PassivePac-Man]

There is an original dedicated Heavy Barrel near me for $200. The monitor is broken, that won't be too hard. Would it be easy to convert it to an Ikari Warriors? They have the same controls. Thanks!

I have an Ikari Warriors, are they even compatible?

I figured you would have to change the pcb and maybe the wiring.

Mine is wired jamma standard with an adapter for the Ikari Warriors pcb.   The rotary joystick wiring should be the same, but you would have to change out the bezel, marquee, sideart.

Might just be good to leave it Heavy Barrel and buy an Ikari Warriors pcb.

I put a little research into it now. There was 2 versions of the Ikari Warriors pcb and 1 of them is compatible with the Heavy Barrel connector. So as long as I can get one of that kind, I will be good. Thanks!
