MAK Strike Supergun: Play a JAMMA PCB on a Home RGB SCART Display

A Supergun gives a compatible JAMMA arcade PCB a way to run outside an arcade cabinet. The MAK Strike brings the board connection, controller ports and RGB SCART video path together for a home or workbench setup.

Use case

For example, test a JAMMA board on a compatible RGB SCART CRT and NeoGeo-compatible controllers without installing it in a full cabinet.

Why it stands out

It centralizes the core connections and exposes useful controls for a bench setup. The current listing includes options for a power supply and CPS2 wiring, so you can choose according to the board you plan to use.

Before you choose

A suitable arcade power supply is required. Check the PCB, controller, display and wiring compatibility; the product page lists available options and audio/video details.

See the Supergun MAK Strike product page for current specifications, variants and availability.

SLG3000 v2: Add Adjustable Scanlines to a VGA Retro Setup

Want a scanline look while keeping a compatible VGA monitor in your retro setup? The SLG3000 v2 is designed to sit between a VGA source and display and add an adjustable scanline effect.

Use case

Connect a compatible VGA source to the generator and its output to the monitor, then adjust the effect to suit the game and display. It can be useful for a desktop retro setup where replacing the monitor is not practical.

Why it stands out

The appeal is control over the scanline intensity without changing the source game. The unit is inserted into the VGA chain and does not need a separate power supply according to the current product listing.

Before you choose

Check supported signal modes and your source/display connection before ordering. The SLG3000 adds an effect; it does not upscale the image.

See the Scanline Generator SLG3000 v2 product page for current specifications, variants and availability.

UMSA SCART Adapter: Connecting a 15 kHz RGBHV Source to a CRT TV

A CRT television with an RGB SCART input can be useful in a retro gaming setup, but the source and TV must use compatible signal formats. UMSA is made for a suitable 15 kHz RGBHV source feeding an RGB SCART display.

Product photo from the ArcadeForge shop. Click the image for current product details and options.

Use case

Use it when a compatible arcade or video source provides RGBHV and the display expects RGB with composite sync over SCART. The adapter also provides separate sync outputs for compatible signal chains.

Why it stands out

It brings the sync conversion and SCART connection together on one small interface, helping bridge two formats in a carefully matched setup.

Before you choose

Confirm the source signal, 15 kHz timing, SCART input mode and 5 V supply requirements on the product page; UMSA is not a scaler.

See the UMSA Ultimate SCART Adapter product page for current specifications, variants and availability.

Pi2Jamma v2 Pro: A Raspberry Pi Setup for a JAMMA Cabinet

Have a working JAMMA cabinet and want to try a Raspberry Pi on its CRT? Pi2Jamma v2 Pro is designed to connect a compatible Raspberry Pi to a JAMMA arcade setup, with native 15 kHz RGB output and GPIO-based controls.

Product photo from the ArcadeForge shop. Click the image for current product details and options.

Use case

A practical use case is a home-built or restored cabinet running a compatible retro-gaming setup. The board brings picture, controls and audio into the cabinet connection path.

Why it stands out

Its value is the direct 15 kHz JAMMA-oriented connection and integrated audio amplifier with a volume control. This can simplify a setup that would otherwise need separate video conversion and control hardware.

Before you choose

Check the product page against your Raspberry Pi model, cabinet wiring, monitor and power requirements before ordering.

See the Pi2Jamma v2 Pro product page for current specifications, variants and availability.

Jamma 3d enclosure for 2x22 pin connector

3d Design for Jamma connectors 2x28 pins. 

Additional notes

Pin-count clarification: the original title says 2x22 pins, while the short description says 2x28. These are different connector formats, so check the connector you are fitting before ordering. ArcadeForge currently lists the 2x22-pin JAMMA enclosure and the 2x28-pin JAMMA enclosure separately.

3d enclosure for Jamma connectors

And the next 3d engineered STL enclosure. This time for Jamma connectors 2x28 pins. Shortly available in our shop. 

Additional notes

This enclosure is for a 2x28-pin JAMMA connector. Confirm the row and pin count of your connector before printing or fitting a case; the 2x22-pin format is a separate part. See the current 2x28-pin enclosure and 2x22-pin version in the ArcadeForge catalog.

UMSA 3d printed enclosure

The fourth 3d enclosure is for umsa. Find it soon on https://www.arcadeforge.net

Additional notes

This post documents the printed case for the UMSA setup. The enclosure is an accessory for the adapter, so check which UMSA board revision and openings your installation needs before ordering. The current UMSA 3D enclosure listing shows the case separately from the UMSA adapter.

Sync Strike 3d printed enclosure

Sync strike 3d enclosure is the third 3d printed enclosure. Shortly available at https://www.arcadeforge.net 

Additional notes

This is the enclosure entry in the Sync Strike 3D-print series. The case and the electronics are separate items; check the board revision, connector cut-outs and access to controls against your own build. See the current Sync Strike 3D enclosure and the Sync Strike interface.

Pi2Jamma 3d enclosure

And the next 3d printed enclosure for ArcadeForge devices. This time pi2jamma.

Additional notes

This entry records a printed enclosure project for Pi2Jamma. When matching a case to a board, check the board revision and the openings needed for the connectors and controls. The current Pi2Jamma v2 Premium page describes the board and its available case options; the pictured enclosure in this older post may differ from current options.
