Hey all, can someone tell me the difference between "Japan HRS" and "Taiwan Future" as it relates to JAMMA standards? I'm looking to buy this JAMMA extender for my supergun, which is offered in either of those two variations. Just want to be sure I won't damage my PCBs if I buy the Taiwan Future one, which is in stock.

Thanks for any advice.
 
There's no difference from the perspective of JAMMA as a standard. Nothing will change in terms of wiring.

The choice is related to which connector (Hirose, or Future brand) you would like to choose. Generally, the Japanese Hirose connectors are considered higher quality and more expensive compared to Taiwan Future connectors. In my experience, I actually don't like Hirose connectors that much because they are extremely fragile and tend to crack on the sides. If you look at original JAMMA harnesses of Astro and Blast City cabs (they use Hirose), they are almost always damaged.

Awesome, thanks for the explanation, it was honestly next to impossible to google without knowing "HRS" was shorthand for Hirose. Glad the Taiwan Future connector will work fine.
