Glad to be of help!

Thank you, we will be adding more content soon.

Thank You!

I try!

Anytime, glad you liked it!

Awesome? Send some pics when it's done!

Anytime

Did you finish your project yet? Would love to see some pics!

Retro Active Arcade Ltd.™ if you had a personal preference, would you just run Mame on PC? I have a 60n1 cab, but I use PC for almost every build. My current project is a PC driven NBA Jam cab, just loaded with all the 3-4 player, 3 button games. My multicade pedestal is PC too, and my Scramble cocktail with probably follow suite. I only use jamma for cabs wired for jamma already. Lol...nevermind, got my answer at the vid end while typing this!

Brian Doyle you can use whatever you want as long as you have a regulated +5V, +12V & ground power supply all connected at the same time.

ethan sanders-divers it is a 5k pot

thanks man that relay helps

Yes you will have to add a start and a coin button for each player if your not already wired into the coin door.

fatalfury1994 how did you connect it?

Retro Active Arcade Ltd.™ first on jamma with rgb peritel,after on vga and hdmi... I will try with a Astro city soon.

fatalfury1994 I'm pretty sure that the Pandoras box 4 will not convert to the RGB CRT. It is only vga and hdmi.

Yes it is a high end replacement for any Jamma Arcade.

Excellent ! Thanks

Hi Dean, I cannot say for sure how to connect your board but you can find a ton of help through an arcade forum called KLOV, there are a ton of manuals and schematics on there as well. You can post pics of your board to find out what you have and then download the schematic that will show you how to wire it. There are also a ton of groups on Facebook that will love to help you with all that stuff! You should be able to find a group local to your area as well.

Hi James, Please refer to our diagrams page, the Jamma harness diagram you need it the first one on the page. retroactivearcade.ca/pages/videos-diagrams

Hi, yes I can help. If you want to keep Gold Tee you will have to go with the 2019 or 3016 game board. They are all Jamma but those are the only ones that support and have Trackball games in them. The Pandora's box does not support a trackball. You will also need a PS2/USB adapter for your existing trackball to work with the, Jamma board or buy a new one that is PS2/USB. The adapter can be found on the Suzo Happ website. Here is a link to the different game boards that we offer and the their game lists. retroactivearcade.ca/pages/game-lists

ChicagoBulls2007 hi, this means 1 of 3 things, there is a short in your wiring (bad ground), you have high/ low voltage for 5v and 12v or your sd card has shaken loose during transport. While powered off, take the sd card out and put back in tightly. The sd card is in the square cap on the side of the jamma board case. The rest you can check with a multimeter.

Retro Active Arcade After Turning it on last night I’m Seeing this: No Cable message > Enter Power Saving Mode and then a blank screen. Majority of the times I just see > No Cable > Elf logo and it just loops. Is this a grounding, power issue? I’ll check the DC/AC voltage later this week. I did swap out the 412-1 board with another one a few weeks ago and I’m still getting that going into power saving mode and the P1 joystick is not responsive. But player 2 works.

Blake Hunter we have Galaga 88 in our signature series arcades! We can also design it as Galaga 88 for you!

Retro Active Arcade I’ll check that out, thanks!

Retro Active Arcade could you link me to it?

This is a link to the game list: oactivearcade.ca/content/2700_Game_List.pdf This is the link to the Signature seris machines (Brute, Monster, Beast & the Pedestal): retroactivearcade.ca/arcades-1/

Slam Blambacid those power supplies are for replacement of older arcade machines and pinball machines. The new multi game jamma boards mostly only utilize the 5V and 12V of your power supply so that is all you need.

I love you back!

one does not simply ask how to put games onto a mame arcade...... (the answer isnt exactly legal advice) google is your friend

The board WAS the game back in the day; one board, one game.

As it should be.

@@graymancharge "Google is your friend" I think you missed the part where the guy said there wasn't much information out there except for trial and error.

@Graham Charge: Shut up dummy. You talk stupid.

icybottoms007 you can convert it to jamma if you want fairly easily, your game choice will be subject to the game board game list. They are set lists and cannot be changed

The switcher will not work with either one of those boards, it will not recognize the 5 & 6 buttons for either player and it will not produce proper sound.

I'd think u just download the diagram for jamma and u wire the buttons and joysticks directly off the jamma harness, no USB or o delay encoders needed etc for Real Game board, or if it's a PC etc just plug it in the usb port and dont wire the jamma controllers..all the best from NZ

I'm sorry I do not, the reason why is that if I did a video on that it would be specific to what I was showing, brands, connection locations etc. I am sorry to say that it could be a trial and error situation at times, I can say that both of your sync wires from your monitor to the card adapter do tie into the 1 white cable of your adapter harness. The RGB is in sequence on the adapter but it is hit and miss sometimes from the monitor (wire colors may be different). You will need to get a schematic of your CRT before you start cutting away connectors to splice into your card for sure! Another thing to remember is that there are video adjustments on 3 different items when you do this, the CRT has a controller that allows for your sync and color saturation, then the CGA to VGA adapter has sync/color options and then your VGA monitor has its own options as well so there is too many variables to account for.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa thank you for taking the time to respond keep the great work.

Are you trying to use the CGA video off of the Jamma harness to connect to an HD TV? That will not work directly, your only option will be a CGA to VGA/RGB converter that will give you those options.

This is a professional plasma monitor. Basically, a plasma PVM. It has RGB and HV syncs with BNC. 5 connectors to create the signal with the lower kHz rating.

That is a bit beyond my expertise but your RGB and ground is straight forward, with 1 white wire left over we usually have to tie in both HV syncs to it and that seems to work.

Ok. Thanks for the help. I may split a few cables and try it multiple ways. I'll let you know how it turns out.

babada jamma boards will only have games that would be on the mame list, nothing really newer than 2005.

yeah I'd want one that runs Sega Model 3, Naomi, early Atomiswave, early Hikaru, and Naomi 2 as those are the ones that no matter what I try to do I just cannot figure out how to get the games running

If you are using a JAMMA board then the only ones that display in Vertical are the 60 & 412-in-1 and the 1162 does both. The rest that are out there display in Horizontal only and will letter box with side bars to adapt to your monitor. You cannot just change the output on a JAMMA board to work either horizontal or vertical, they are pre-programming to display the way they are intended.

Bu JAMMA panoları (Pandora'nın Kutusu), Jamma PCB tarzı panoları kullanan tüm atari kabinlerinin doğrudan yerine geçmez. Bunlar yalnızca 28 pimli kablo demetinde 12V ve 5V güce izin verir. panoya 12V ve 5V dışında herhangi bir güç sağlayan veya farklı bir pin sayısına sahip mevcut bir kabininiz varsa, çalışmayacaktır. Kablo demetini ve muhtemelen gücü de değiştirmeniz gerekecektir. Kaliteye gelince, tahtalar gizlidir, yükseltilebilir ve yüksek puanlar kaydetmenize ve hatta bazı modellerde tom eklemenize izin verir. Gerçek hame'lere ve oynanışa gelince, bunlar vurulur ve ıskalanır ve daha büyük bir ekranda görüntülenmek üzere kenarları yumuşatmak için yükseltilmiş grafiklere sahiptir. Bence insanları onlardan uzaklaştıran da bu. Bu yardımcı olur umarım?

​tahtalar gizlidir yükseltilebilir nedemek anlamadim çok basit bir anlatimla bu elinizdeki cihaz eski orjinal jamma kart tepkimesine sahipmi degilmi onu öğrenmek istiyorum tesekkurler şimdiden..

@@RetroactivearcadeCa do you sell the one with the quick connects already on it?

@@gabrielstudios1265 you bet!

Jamma is set to a default to do the automatic flip for you on 60-in-1 and 412-in-1 that are vertical games only. If you are looking to have 2 player games like Street fighter and also having cocktail games that is a whole different scenario.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa Thanks for the quick reply! I'm just looking to do Pac-Man, Ms Pacman as my main games, everything else is just a bonus. I do have another question. I have information overload when it comes to picking the best monitor for the cocktail cabinet. What I will probably go with is this: www.hollandcomputers.com/store/pc/19-Inch-Arcade-Game-LED-Monitor-Jamma-monitor-MAME-and-Cocktail-game-cabinets-p6003.htm But since you so kindly replied, do you sell a comparable monitor I could buy from you, or have any advice on what I should use?

I'm sorry but the Pandora's box is only made for 1 & 2 Player arcade games that are not driving or shooting games. The game list consists of mostly fighting games.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa is there something out on the market for a multi car racing game all in one unit? Similar to the pandora box?

Not that I know of, you would have to set up your own PC and use a #hyperspin type of frontend to run the roms yourself.

Ok cool thanks for that information

Really all you need is the board and I would pick up a universal jamma harness to replace the wiring if I was you. I would also replace the arcade power supply if you have an original in your machine. You will also need a vga/hdmi to cga converter if you have an original tube monitor CRT.

Yes

Heh

Yes there is, is been a while since I have looked at that setting but I think it is set to on by default....... I may be wrong but the setting is in the menu for sure.

JAMMA does not connect like that. You will have to buy a JAMMA to USB converter and a CGA to VGA converter for the video.

JOHN sorry, no you cannot

Retro Active Arcade why ?

The usb ports on a jamma are for testing only, some of the home versions Pandora's Box will accept a usb to send a signal to your xbox or PS3 to use the game controller as a joystick but noting will allow it to be used as an input for a controller as far as I am aware at this time.

A Jamma board cannot accept the input of a USB encoder, it is a friction fit 28 pin fingerboard right on the PCB, technically it shouldn't have any lag at all. The only things that cause lag on a Jamma board would be the microswitches and the processor on the PCB, there is nothing to encode.

Retro Active Arcade do you suggest to use jamma connection or I can go straight to the motherboard's USB port using USB decoder?

Ruggero Piazza if you are using a Jamma board you Have to use a Jamma harness, if you are using a computer you Have to you use an encoder.

Because I'm wondering what is the best solution with the pandora's box motherboard. I was thinking to go straight into the USB using a usb encoder rather then using the pin connector but from what I can see from videos it seems to be pretty much the same because I need to wire everything in the same way. So I was just wondering if adding a usb encoder in the process and go through USB port make any difference at the end. Thanks for your answers and your patience btw. Very good channel!!!!

Ruggero Piazza the Pandoras box is a Jamma board, the USB ports do not work for anything, they are decorative at this point, you can only use a Jamma harness, you cannot use an encoder at all.

Jack Khoury you can check or site at: retroactivearcade.ca/3149-in-1-jamma-hard-drive-2/

we sure do!: retroactivearcade.ca/arcades/personalized-arcades/

What do you mean by set it up?

i i trying to put it in a bartop but i dont know what goes where

Have yo looked at our Jamma harness diagrams yet? Here is a link to all of them. retroactivearcade.ca/diagrams/ We also have a tutorial on how to connect your wiring to an arcade power supply. retroactivearcade.ca/videos/ If you cannot find what you are looking for there I suggest looking directly at our KZfaq channel for all our videos.

thank you

Yes it can

WPGinterceptor Triggered!!! 😤😤😤

...or he knows the correct information?

And then snk thought jamma boards were too large, maybe too risky to install, so that's where neo geo cartridges begin

True, but ironically neither DK or Time Pilot are JAMMA ;)

WPGinterceptor JAMMA was later made even easier by companies such as Capcom and SNK, who had boards that would use individual cartridges that could be swapped easily.

You will have to go into the settings menu and switch it. Follow the instruction guide to figure out how to do that.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa it fires automatically when the track ball is hooked up,,,there's no setting to change for this...any other ideas???

That means you definitely have a short for your "A" button, check all your connections again and make sure your ground wire is on the bottom prong and your action P1 A wire is on your middle prong of your microswitch. The third third prong is always open/ on so that would create the problem you are having.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa the 1p (fire) button works for all the other games fine,,,,

You were right I had a short in a wire,,,,thnx so much for your help..

Well I don't know about that........

The Pandoras box has an HDMI out so yes it can be connected to your TV

I don't have the Pandora box sir All I have the Jamma box

Is the yellow box that you have its shown on your video

The Jamma game board is the Pandora's box.

Yes sir I understand This small box Dosent come with the joy stick So I want to know how to connect it to the tv and do you sell a joy stick that is compatible with the Jamma arcade box

It is as connection standard

Looks like you may need a new drive my friend...... We provide them if you need one.

@@RetroactivearcadeCa I would love to purchase one! I don't see any on your site...how do I get one from you!?

@@davidw670 contact us directly at customerservice@retroactive.ca

@@RetroactivearcadeCa - sent an email explaining situation, stating that i wanted to buy a hard drive and Jaclyne O'Neill replied basically telling me "retro arcade" doesn't support anything not bought from them....so even though i want to buy a hard drive, I can't because the overall purchase of the "cabinet/game" didn't come from you?

@@davidw670 no worries, we have a ton of emails coming in and that is an automatic response. I will get her to email you a proper reply

Yes it is a simple plug and play exchange, you need the 4,5 & 6 buttons on Player 1 to make most changes in the menu, but the default settings are usually good for most people.

Александр Сангалеев what do you mean by find drivers? There are no drivers for jamma it is a set wiring/pinout standard from the 80's. There boards are set to that wiring standard and cannot be changed.

maybe I asked the wrong question. I need to play panic museum (TTX2). The game itself is there but does not see an I / O board and a gun board.

Александр Сангалеев there are no drivers needed, you do need the right power and voltage connected to the Jamma harness in most cases unless you are providing power to your controls/board through another source. The game might still power up without that but it will not recognize the controls. Are you using a multi game jamma board or is this a dedicated pcb?

you do not mind talking to the email

Александр Сангалеев not at all, email me you like
