First, this is 2 posts I posted in other message boards put tobether so it might look wierd, but please answer both posts if you can. Thanks.
First Post:
I have recently been looking into a MultiJAMMA pcb. They seem like a practical thing. Now I am a big fighting game fan, and that's mainly whawt I plan on having in my JAMMA cabinet. I am wondering if people would recommend a MultiJAMMA pcb for someone who likes fighitng games? This means that I would need to have multiple kick harnesses hooked up at one time going to each pcb that's hooked up, which I think I could eventually figure out how to do. But so far, the only person I have talked to does NOT recommend one, and he has about 4 fighters hooked up to it. He says that his cuts off sometimes and resets sometimes, and that the power supply was hard to hook up to it. Can people give me some opinions on the MultiJAMMA in general and also on whether they recommend one for a multi-fighting game JAMMA cab? Thanks.

Hello Everyone. I am farily new to the whole JAMMA scene, but I recently picked up a Killer Instinct 2 dedicated cabinet and am already hooked on the hobby. I am a huge fighting game fan. Now I am familiar with Kick Harness's and stuff like that, to a degree. I have currently been looking at multijamma pcb's because they seem very practical for me. But I got a few questions.
First, are most Kick Harness's the same size? Like does the kick harness fit onto all boards that require one, although the pinouts may be different? Also, do they make Multi Kick Harness adapters that are similiar to the multijamma pcb's?
Second. I have been looking at the multijamma pcb's. I am not that familiar with how they work yet. If I were to use one, how do you go about wiring up the button to switch in between games?
Third. This is also about the multijamma. Would I have to have a seperate kick harness for each game if the game required a kick
harness? In other words, to make it just selectable and not have to do any rewiring for the games, would I need a kick harness connected to each pcb?
Fourth. This is again about the multijama. How exactly do you hook up the additional power supply that is needed? I have also heard you need maybe 2 additional power supplies. How do you hook up these ones?
Fifth. Again, multijama question. On my Killer Instinct 2 cabinet, the board and HD are mounted on the side of the cabinet inside it, w/a fan directed towards it. Now if I were to get a multijama, would it be a good idea to have it mounted on the wall, w/the other boards
connected to it perpendicular to the wall, just kind of hanging? It doesn't seem like it would be good, but I don't know how else I should do it. Would I need another fan or anything?
Sixth. This is the FINAL question. If anyone has a multijamma and wants to sell it, please let me know. I am currently looking for one. Thanks.
That's about it. Thanks guys for helping out a newbie who's already hooked on the hobbie!
