City Connection (Bootleg) info

Just thought worth posting this as it might save someone some time in the future ... and maybe stop them killing their board !!
Had to knock up a jamma adaptor for this bootleg pcb to check how much fixing it needs (it doesn't, it works fine, just needed a clean!) and found it appears to have a unique edge connector for this game (can't find any reference to it anywhere online) .....



This particular bootleg does NOT use the Jaleco pinout (as you might reasonably assume) , so if you use the Jaleco - Jamma adaptor on this particular bootleg, you will probably fry it ... The correct pinout for this one is as follows:



Might help someone out , at some point ... maybe 🤷‍♂️

Good info..exactly this reason why I asked the question mating a bootleg Salamander top board to a genuine bottom board in another post on this forum... the bootleggers could have their own pinouts

Makes me wonder how this worked back in the day ... did these bootleg boards come with edge connector info for the operator? Or did they just have to work it out for themselves like we do now? Can't imagine they came with any sort of manual like the original boards did ....
