Lite and Full kits due mid-December!
Changelog:
V1.1:
- 5V jumper to toggle between cabinet 5V rail, and MiSTercade's 12V to 5V buck converter.
- Added ground pins for non-standard CPS-II Kick harnesses
- Some switches changed to jumpers
- Minor component changes
V1.2
- Switch to toggle between 0.7V and 3.2V video levels for HD15 port on main JAMMA board
- Extra ESD protection
- Simplified a few components
- Swapped a few through hole capacitors for SMD electrolytic
- Moved power inductor to top side (no more bottom side components)
- Rounded JAMMA contacts
Power Notice:
- RECOMMENDED +12V 1A FROM ARCADE PSU
- +5V power generated from the +12V rail
- +5V and -5V cabinet power supply rails are loaded for a steady 100 mA current
MiSTercade Features:
- Black, 4 layer, ENIG finish PCB with edge beveled JAMMA connector
- User I/O port
- 40mm fan with 3.3V/5V selectable voltage
- Reset, User, OSD buttons
- Extensible for future add-ons
- Currently only JAMMA compatible (not JVS)
Input:
- 7 port USB hub with VBUS power control
- Sub-1 ms controller encoder for 2 players 6 buttons (potential for 2P8B)
- CPS1 and CPS2 kick harnesses for 1P and 2P buttons 4, 5 and 6
- CHAMMA wiring for 2L12B at JAMMA edge with non-standard JAMMA wiring
- Coin counter signal to increment cabinet coin count (Only works on 5V coin counters, not 12V)
- 8 buttons for P1 and 6 buttons for P2 (using custom CPS-2 kick harness)
- P1B7 = Test (no arcade games supported by mister use 8 buttons - only PS1 and Saturn cores could, assuming they are released)
- P1B8 = Service (mapped to pause in all cores)
