Thanks for all the replies. I hooked the harness up last night, and all the standard JAMMA buttons worked. Also, I was able to easily navigate the MAME32 GUI using the J-PAC shift functions. I plan on booting direclty to it, and maybe assigning some of the stick-2 buttons for Windows purposes (maybe an alt-f4 so I can easily shut down).

One more question: my wiring harnes is a mess, and I'm having a hard time tracing the wires for the additional buttons to their source. Will I damage the other controls if I simply snip these wires and terminals off? I want to do this so I can hardwire them to the J-PAC, but I'm not sure if I'm going to break the circuit somewhere.

My other option is to simply buy add't wires and push in terminals. Anyone know where to get them cheap?

Thanks again,

Joe

P.S. I feel like I'm cheating, as the harness was already pre-wired! The J-Pac rocks!


: : : I think there is a little bit of confusion here: unless you boot MAME32 with an option such as "- joygui" you will not be able to navigate within the MAME32 GUI with just stick and buttons - unless you use a specialized shareware utility. (Joykey? Keyjoy?) Within the game however, you can get by just fine.

: : from what I understood of it, the J-Pac uses the JAMMA inputs the same as the I-Pac uses custom-built ones. Therefore, it should work just like using a standard keyboard.
