JVS/JAMMA CONTROL-BOX Professional

[Alpha1]

I had the pleasure of taking one of these amazing devices for delivery a couple of weeks ago as I was getting tired of my older supergun (will be up for sale shortly!) and was looking for something that did more.

I was shown the Axunworks CBOX system and went for the CBOX Pro unit. At the time there was a non-Pro unit available too but that seems to not be available for sale anymore.

The system is modular so you can swap out the control system for example. It comes with 4 player NeoGeo pad support but you can swap that out for Sega Saturn or Sigma support instead.

Some pics.

It took about a month for the order to process and the CBOX Pro to arrive. Here's me unpacking it. It was packed well for transport.

So I actually got two units, one for me and one for @CoS72

Here's more of an initial inspection and breakdown once I had got most things out of the box.

I set my one up and powered it up with no monitor or PCB connected to see if it survived shipping.

So this is the unit playing a JAMMA PCB, Cobra Command.

The unit has RGB gain, and H and V shift options to perfect the screen. It's really very good.

+5 and +3.3 are both adjustable on the back.

I haven't tried it with JVS yet, that's the next test with a Naomi.

I've got one of the non pro versions and it's the best supergun i've ever owned. I noticed he does this pro system now and it looks even better. Absolute quality.

Now that looks like an incredible bit of kit. Will hopefully pick one up in the Nee Year.

Looks amazing quality and functionality. Just wouldn't have room for one on my workbench. Lol. I've got a HAS but this is another level.

You got a link to the HAS? I'll measure this one later if you want. It is smaller than I was expecting.

 

[CoS72]

The quality is really good - it feels well made and sturdy and with so many options available its far from just a supergun.

Don't quote me on this as I'm still going through it, but it looks like you can dynamically change the JAMMA pinout to CHAMMA and MVS. There's switches on each side, the CBOX and the adapter that appears to switch them.

My supergun is still going strong.
Can yours do unregulated DC for the early Bronze Age boardset?
This one also converts b&w to colour.

😆
