J-PAC? Where to buy in Europe?

[Brry71]

Hey Guys,

Since a few of the people here use mame as the engine of their arcadecabinets, I was wondering if any of you know a good place in Europe to buy the JPAC interface?

Regards,
Barry

What about Ultimarc, the maker of the Jpac and other goodies, based in the UK: http://www.ultimarc.com/jpac.html

And here you have an alternative for the JPAC: http://www.arcadeshop.de/Encoder-JammASD-v2_829.html

Hi Ckong& Scr33n,

Thanks, will order at one of those.

I would order directly from Andy. He's a great guy and offers excellent service.

In the VERY early days of me getting in this hobby (when I thought one MAME cab would be cool ) I bought a Jpac second hand from the guy who I bought my first JAMMA cab from.

Turned out it was defective and I e-mailed with Andy about it. At about the cost of shipping and the part he sent me a replacement chip even though he knew I had bought it used.

I wouldent go for jpac but for http://shoryuken.com/f177/official-cthulhu-chimp-thread-try-our-new-dreamcast-flavor-162026/  Cthulhu
Becaus it works on the pc and on consoles so if you want to hook up console you can also do that. just my 2 cents

[ckong]

But first read all 248 pages of the Cthulhu (what's in a name) thread. 

My two cents: you can't compare the Cthulhu with the J-pac, it's a complete different board. If I'm correct (Mind you, I didn't read all the pages) the Cthulhu is more like an ordinary I-pac.

Jup its a ordernary jpac. But you can also connect it to like diffrent consoles so thats nice.  so if you have a ps3 ore a dreamcast game you would like to play on your mame cabinet you can.

Sorry Vnera, but I don't see any video part on that chtululutlultlutllathdhtutlath board.

Also: the whole idea about J-pac is that it DIRECTLY connects to a standard Jamma plug, found in most generic cabs. This makes it very easy to use.
No cutting of wires and wiring them up to screw terminals. This also makes it possible to still hook up original Jamma boards (or boards with Jamma-adapters)

Both features are not on the Chutttullettetutllttltltltlututuuuu board...
So how can it be compared to the J-pac ?

If you want to hook up a PC to a Jamma board, the best is a J-pac.

Period.

your totally correct. the reason i made this mistake is that i dident know the J-pac was realsed. beaus last time i was looking for this info(2 years ago)only the
I-pac was realsed. so i mixed those 2 up. sorry.

[ckong]

Jup its a ordernary jpac.

NO, there is a big difference between a JPAC and an IPAC. The Cthulhu is certainly not like a JPAC.

Wrong again, the JPAC has been around for ages.

Here's an other alternative :
   
JammASD PC to Jamma interface.

I've one for testing it, but not done yet.
