NAMCO JAMMA and I/O boards
JAMMA Video Standard or JVS is an updated JAMMA created in the late 90’s.
JVS uses an HD-15 type video connection (commonly known as a VGA connector, although VGA is a resolution), stereo RCA audio connections, JST_VL power connections with 3.3V.
Controls are handled via an I/O PCB within the cabinet which connects to the game hardware by an USB cable - it's only the physical cable that's USB, and the signals have nothing in common with USB at all.
See: http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/JVS
- JAMMA board used in system357a has:
- TOP row (from left to right)
- 1 connector (in white) with 24 pins
- 8 dipswitches (in black/red)
- 1 connector (in white) with 10 pins
- BOTTOM row (from left to right)
- JV I/O (JAMMA) interface
- DC IN 12v (this voltage is needed for the JVS board to work)
- VGA
- left speaker RCA connector
- right speaker RCA connector
- TOP row (from left to right)
- Note the references to system357 in "Deadstorm Pirates" and "Razing Storm" manuals.pdf, and the pictures of the connectors that can help to identify motherboards/models
- Picture in razing storm manual.pdf - (section 5.5 "inserting the dongle")... the connectors matches with a VER001 motherboard (is not a cok00 motherboard)... but there is no JAMMA board/connections
- It seems the newer models doesnt have a JAMMA board, has been replaced by a "I/O PCB" (in page 50 and 94 in razing storm manual), with a hardware identifyer "US1001" and/or "USIO01"
