I'm not aware of one, but it shouldn't be too tough, just go wire by wire with a good clean Jamma diagram and a Sega JVS IO pin out diagram. 1 wire at a time nice and slowly.



Post any questions with LOTS of pics if you get stuck, but with lots of pre-planning it should go smoothly.

Dunno what your plans are but if you're just trying to run jamma boards in a uni you might consider the option of using a Namco or Konami jamma-jvs converter. Like this you leave the jvs wiring as it is. The only small problem is to be able to find one of those converters.

The Namco - Konami one sound like the way to go (if I can find one)



What do I do - just unplug the connectors from the Naomi mobo and plug it into the converter?

Power, Sound, Video, USB and you're off. Think it's a very tidy solution. Think it's needless to say you need a tri-sync to support 15khz games as well.

What model tri-sync do I need?

Your talking bout replacing the chassis? Depends on the monitor you have inside. Nanao, Sanwa or Toshiba? You have to check yourself by removing the backcover. some people might even recognize it by looking at the control board. After that contact this guy: www.giz10p.co.uk ('ordyne' on this forum) He can tell more about this matter.



Cheers!

Those are dual res monitors (read the auction title/description). I suppose you want your uni to still be able to display hi res eh ? If yes thats not what you need. I suggest you contact Craig 'Ordyne' HERE. He will be able to help you out.
