Dreamcast to jamma
« on: April 19, 2008, 04:56:40 PM »
I am expecting a New Astro City in a couple of weeks.  :)
Thought i would be cool if I could play some dc-games on that cab.
Bruno has his dc in his multi-platform-gauntlet-machine and his story inspired me greatly.

My situation is different though. Unlike Darthnuno my wires won't connect to a switchbox, but ..... I guess to a jammafingerboard.

http://www.jammaboards.com/store/jamma-adapters/jamma-plus-jb-2-fingerboard-adapter/prod_47.html

Would I be assuming this correctly ?

Since the dc has 6 buttons I thought the Jamma+ fingerboard would be a good choice.

Also to get the video signal straightend out would this be a product I could use ?

I know there's this tutorial on http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/arc_dc4.html
but the part where they make this custom made video-thingy I just don't get that at all, so I thought I'd buy that particular circuit.
