Sega Dreamcast Arcade Stick to Jamma

[draculax1978]

Hello i need Help.I will my Dreamcast Arcade Stick for Jamma conversion. Does anyone have the Dreamcast Arcade Stick Pinout or instructions?

Here is the pinout:

You aren't going to be able to straight wire it out to JAMMA - you would need a converter chip to take the MAPLE BUS information and drive a JAMMA out.

Not sure if anyone has already made this kind of adapter. Depending on the switches (if they are actually microswitches) you might be able to rewire everything - but I haven't seen what the insides look like.

Thanks.The stick came from a defective Consolized Killer Instinct 2. But it doesn't work on my Supergun because the assignment was specifically for the Ki2... Here's the inside... Something has already been done to it and it looks like the board is scratched

The cables are yellow, red, brown and orange. What color is the above control? I would need to know what colors is for top, bottom, right and left

You can use a multi meter continuity mode to beep them out

Thanks.I have a multimeter. Could you explain to me step by step how I can do this?

Put one on black (most likely ground) and the other on any color, move the lever to one direction after the other, when it beeps you now which direction that color is

Thanks.If anyone also needs help with a Jamma conversion, my picture will help. I just have one problem. Where do I get the +5 volts??? see Neo Geo Pinout, there is no cable left

Where do I get the +5 volts?

 

[Mrhide]

each buttons you traced above "is" the 5 volts: it activates when connected to ground ( the black wire, which should be common to all)

Ok, I have everything connected correctly and as soon as I press a button on the joyboard, the supergun resets

 

[Mrhide]

oh? supergun? pictures of your setup please!

 

[draculax1978]

Ok here,The Killer Instinct Sticks No Work

 

[draculax1978]

I did everything according to the Neo Geo Pinout. No button on the Dreamcast Stick works

Just connect Ground/Masse and Start and check if you can get just the start button working (Obviously coin with the SuperGun/MAK)

 

[draculax1978]

The only thing I noticed is that the A (1 button) has 3 cables, and the others only have 2...

 

[Mageta the Lion]

Are you connecting the buttons directly to the NeoGeo plug or are you wiring to the pcb?

Hello, it looks like you have Ground connected to Pin8 instead of Pin1?

 

[draculax1978]

The diagram says that the picture is the solder side

The cables go from the circuit board to the buttons. I see that something has been scratched away on the circuit board
