Wtd: Advice fitting JROK

[Robotgreg]

Hi

I've recenlty bought a Stargate upright which came with a JROK so will be more reliable and can enable to play Defender on it too.

The JROK has not been fitted and I'm a bit unclear on how to fit it so wanted to check here before try and muck it up!

So looking for advice please from someone who's done this before:

- is the JROK normally supplied blank so you need to add the ROMS yourself? Looks reasonably straightforward but assume you need to do this one JROK inside cab?

- from the instructions, link below and pic, looks like you need to remove all the connections from the original pcbs and attach them to the cables from the JROK pcb?
The cables are labelled on the JROK but can't see the same codes in the Stargate manual nor on the pcb (looked online at a pic as a faff to get to the back of the cab so not going to pull out until know what I'm doing). How do I know which cables from the machine to put with which on the JROK? Maybe it's obvious but want to check first.

- Lastly, anything else I should be aware of or need to do?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers

I believe it comes without roms and you need to load them from a usb stick once setup in the cab, or if youve got a jamma cab can be done on there before hand.

Does this guide help you with the wiring? Should point you to all the relevant spots on the PCBs to get the connectors from.

Thanks, that's just what I need

I bought mine new from arcadeshop in the USA, and it came already loaded up with all roms. I also bought a jamma to defender adapter ( as that's what cabinet mine is fitted in, and was just a plug and play experience

Same here. Mine came ready to plug and play in a JAMMA-based system. If your Stargate is original, I imagine you'll need an adaptor to plug it in...

All plugged in and working although initialy didn't realise had to put attach two plugs to the Jrok pcb as well as the cab wiring.

Roms were preloaded

Woohoo!

Did you have to use an adaptor on the edge connector too?

 

[Robotgreg]

It came with adaptor so after plugging in the cables, was straight plug and play.
