A little less than a year ago, Frank_fjs (creator of the Sentinel supergun) came up with the design of two separate boards that, when connected together, act as a proper jamma extender. The boards are connected via two cables: a 24-pin ATX cable responsible for power, video and audio, and a 34-pin IDC cable responsible […]
For years people have discussed the concept of an open-source supergun (devices used to connect arcade game PCBs to TV and PVMs), and the era is now upon us with the launch of Minigun by Frank_fjs, creator of the Sentinel Supergun. The Minigun is designed with simplicity, cost, easy of construction, and safety in mind. […]

The Helper PCB mainly provides 2 Neo-Geo controller ports and power connectivity, basically eliminating the need for a supergun for a comprehensive CPS2 setup. Here are the […]
Superguns allow you to attach real arcade game PCBs to televisions for gameplay. A new budget oriented supergun has emerged, the Parsec. It should be safe for modern video equipment because it has a video encoder that outputs proper RGB, unlike simple pass-through Superguns that endanger video equipment due to the vast range of […]
Frank_fjs, designer of the Sentinel Supergun, has released free Gerber design files for high-quality DIY JAMMA Arcade fingerboard edges at Arcade-Projects (registration required). This could come in handy when someone designs a MiSTer2JAMMA add-on board 😉 #arcade, #jamma, #fingerboard, #gerberdesign, #sentinel
