Possible to put a Neo-Geo 1 slot in a Jamma+ cab?

[coreycorey2000]

I didn't know anything about arcade machines. But I bought an Ehrgeiz cab that was in great shape with a perfect 25" monitor in it. I asked if it was Jamma and he said that it was. Well now that I know a little more I've found out Ehrgeiz is Jamma+. So when I put a Neo-Geo 1 slot in it, I have no player 2, no D button and no sound. Is it possible to get a convertor to change Jamma+ to Jamma? Or would I have to rewire everything to put a Neo-Geo in there?

 

Are there and good Jamma+ games I should look into?

 

I'd really like to put a Neo-Geo in there if possible. But I'm not too handy with a soldering iron. So I don't think I could put a new harness in.

 

Thanks for any input!

You need to rewire the Jamma Harness leads from the control stick and buttons, you CAN do it, but you need to know a little bit about arcade cabinets in order to do a conversion.

Not all Neo games need all 4 buttons, League Bowling comes to mind but you still would have no sound, etc...

If you really want a Neo Geo just wait, they pop up all the time, usually for around $250 to $500 depending on what games. A few cool 3 button Jamma+ boards I recommend are the NBA Showtime and NFL Blitz games.
