Allows you to use your Nintendo classic pre-JAMMA game, in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.
Nintendo made a huge name for itself in the arcades in the early 1980s. Most of Nintendo games produced between 1980 and 1984, before the PlayChoice and VS system boards were released, used the same pinout. This includes some high profile games such as Mario Bros, the three Donkey Kong games and Popeye.
This Nintendo to JAMMA adapter supports both standard and inverted video, and amplified or non-amplified sound. The low cost, high speed video inverter and sound amplifier can be disabled on the adapter making it compatible with both original and bootleg boards via a couple of jumpers. The signal DC offset for each color (Red, Green and Blue) can also be adjusted to display properly on a standard monitor. The video inverter is a simple linear design for the best possible picture at a low cost.
This is the list of compatible games that can be used with this adapter:
- Computer Othello
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Junior
- Popeye
- Donkey Kong 3
- Mario Bros.
- Masao
- 8 Ball Action
