PC-JAMMA Rev 3.00

by

The easiest way to use a PC in an arcade cabinet!

PC-JAMMA Rev 3.00 has been released! It offers the same great functionality as the previous version while keeping the same retail price!

I designed the PC-JAMMA to easily let any arcade cabinet run an emulator and still retain the flexibility to swap game boards at any time mainly so I could still use my library of JAMMA PCB’s.

This single board converter uses all of the existing arcade cabinet components and is JAMMA compatible. It converts the PC’s video signal to 15kHz RGB suitable for any standard arcade machine monitor and converts the arcade cabinet controls to USB joysticks and a USB keyboard.

PC-JAMMA also features a CPS2 compatible kick harness for 6 button games that can also be configured to 4 player (4 button) mode. In 2 Player mode the button 4 input is available on both the kick harness and the JAMMA edge connector to maintain compatibility with Neo Geo cabinets.

The onboard stereo audio amplifier drives the cabinets speakers from the JAMMA edge connector or via the stereo out plug.

MM57163BR2 Replacement module shown in a Max2 (481) Credit Unit

The MM57163BR2 is a reverse engineered drop-in replacement for the original MM57163N.

This is the display driver chip that was first shipped with the Rock-Ola MAX 477 series of Jukeboxes in 1979.

The MM57163 drives the jukeboxes vacuum fluorescent displays with data sent from the credit unit CPU. This display data is latched and shown on the jukeboxes displays and is only updated when a new display data is received.

Rock-Ola Techna Retrofit Display Kit

by

This new display board is a direct replacement for the Rock-Ola 53170 board found in the 480 Techna, 476 Grand Saloon II, 484, and 488 Jukeboxes manufactured by Rock-Ola. The original vacuum fluorescent displays fail and replacements are not easily obtainable. The new board uses LED displays and is a direct replacement for the vacuum-type display board. Additionally, the new display board can still be used with the original display driver IC (MM57163N) located in the Profit Setter Module.

In most cases, the MM57163N display chip is also faulty and for this reason, it is included in the Kit. (The MM57163N replacement is also available separately)
