Ah sorry, to clarify, the headphone (3.5mm) jack is on the vogatek, but it was my understanding that setting the Hyper board to JAMMA/Mono would send the audio through the Jamma connector. The audio socket is a stereo molex connector (two L, two R) but I don't know what to buy to attach to this...any hints. (I'll get a photo in a bit.) I do have a manual, but it's no help other than giving me wiring diagrams, it's Japanese so I don't know if it says I can use JAMMA sound or not. Is it perhaps that I absolutely have to use an 8ohm passive speaker in that 3.5mm socket?
Ah, gotcha! It depended on the model, I think. I believe some still required the audio header. Don't forget that JAMMA is mono and the Hyper64 is stereo... I'm not sure how it dealt with that. Yeah - you need a 4 way molex connector ;-) I can't think of the official name offhand, would have to look it up. Is it not the same as the "Pentium 4" connector on a PSU? Hmm, I could have sworn I posted the English manual here.... oops! http://www.daddelkingz.de/manuals/Hyper_64_english.pdf
Thanks for the manual again. I'm sure you'd posted it before too, but after a quick read through I couldn't find it. When I get five minutes to sit down later I'll try and put some pics up (my DSLR doesn't take closeup pictures easily). And that will help clear some things up.
Is it four pins in a flat row? I just lobbed off a 3 and 1/2 inch floppy disk molex and it fit the pins nicely on my mvs
It certainly is, I'll try that. Anyway more pictures: Got a new TV today, it's an HD flatscreen but Fatal Fury looks amazing on it.
Still trying, nothing yet. It's real boring to play without sound. I've never seen a non Hi-def game look so good before.
Looking good. I particularly like the Aurora Borealis in the background. It's only when you see that thing all hooked up that you realise just how large & deep it is.
It's beautiful but my room is a shoebox so it takes up far too much space. I was thinking of selling it and getting something else but seeing as you can now buy the motherboard and a complete set of fighting games for £35 (and the guy has 62 of them) well it hardly seems worth it.
Two pictures of the only headers on the board. The small beige one seems to match a header in the wiring diagram in the manual you put up, underneath the JAMMA edge you can see 4 connections all labelled speaker. The white headers on the revision 2 board aren't wired up for sound.
Bah. There's loads of great looking non HD games out there. Try following the traces of the audio pins from the jamma connector and see if they actually go anywhere.
I've tried but I'd have to take the whole thing apart as the metal casing hides most of the main PCB. Anyway. I've packed the Hyper up and put it away in the attic. JAMMA and arcade play time is over for me as I need to get ready to emigrate. I'm going to keep it as selling it is futile. You can't even give it them away. When I'm in fixed residence it will be put to good use with a well built Supergun from somewhere, maybe even a cab. Thank you to everyone who helped me get this far.
While since I sold mine now but isn't there a second DIP switch on the bottom for mono/stereo? If you're trying to get sound out of the harness with a JAMMA supergun then you'll need that to be in Mono (otherwise it's not-quite-Jamma and the Supergun may not work). Mine was a rev2 like yours and I never needed to do anything else to it - sound worked straight away. Stone
The only other thing to add was on those Vogatek SGs sometimes to get audio from them you have to pull the jack out of the socket slightly. I've had that happen on a couple of Jamma boards I tested.
I had that problem hooking it up my amplifier. However directly plugging cheap headphones in I could push the jack in all the way. I simply made it work over my amp by disconnecting the negative trace on the vogatek
Neo 64 went in the back of a DHL van today to a new owner, i'd like to think that one day I'll get another. Was fun while it lasted. Can't believe how many views this thread got.
I'm sure the audio is going from the squere molex connector. If I remember right its the actually surround sound Top row for front bottom row for back. I can check it when I'm home, but the info is on net for sure. Anyway the best game on HNG64 is Buriki One I still have it. The other games are just another game in serie.
