Thanks! |
I've got an MVS 6-slot, but I could part with it if you wanted to work out a deal. I thought I posted a price. I'd want $600-700 since my friend did a good amount of work on it, but realistically it's about a $600 cab. MVS hardware is around $130-140 maybe for a 6-slot? Not sure. My friend might sell his 1-slot though. I'm in Reno, NV. 4hrs drive from bay area.

It's mildly complicated if you're building it all yourself. In theory it's simple. Simple version:
PCB->Supergun->TV+Pop'n ASC
Complicated version:
The JAMMA harness that comes with the kit is unnecessary. You'd build a supergun instead. A supergun consists of a JAMMA harness, a video sync converter, and a control adapter. The video adapter makes the video signal work on a standard TV, and the control adapter wires the control lines to a controller plug, usually like Neo-Geo or Parallel. Sound from Pop'n is standard amplified sound, you can plug that direct to your speakers/TV.
From the control adapter, you'll need a specifically wired Pop'n ASC. You can either build one yourself (not going into detail on that), or use a PS2 one. In most cases it's going to be easier to solder new wires to all the switches, and attach that to a second cable going out of whatever type of connector you used for the control adapter on the supergun. That's only because of the way PS2 Pop'n controllers work; the buttons would not be mapped standard as say a joystick would be. That's why it'd have to be custom. The Pop'n Music manuals lay out which signals on JAMMA are used for each button, the adapter would just map it all accordingly. An example of why it doesn't work standard, PS2 Pop'n recognizes the ASC by which buttons are permanently held down, and remaps keys in software. A supergun/Pop'n PCB doesn't. Left and right are mapped somewhere on the P1 and P2 joysticks.
So that was pretty lengthy and I might be slightly wrong on some of that. If you really want to know how to do it, wait until I can put together all the parts and show that it works.
ZERO, I'm going $40, is that okay? If there's no offers on the stuff listed at the very beginning of the first post, they will be sold tomorrow night.
