3 & 4 Player ARpiCADE — JAMMA Adapter for Raspberry Pi
Welcome! This is the first 3 or 4 Player Multi for dedicated JAMMA cabinets. It allows you to play your favorite 3- and 4-player arcade games in a single CGA tube monitor cab. If your tube monitor is dead or too costly to repair, you can also run it with an LCD flat screen.
Overview & Setup
The 3/4 Player ARpiCADE plugs directly into your JAMMA wiring harness. No wall-wart power adapters needed—power comes straight from your JAMMA switcher. It’s open source, so you can customize game lists, front ends, resolutions, and more.
Key Features
- No modification required (optional kick harness available).
- Supports normal JAMMA or 6 buttons on JAMMA via DIP switches.
- RGBS video out or VGA for higher resolutions.
- Amplified mono or line-level stereo audio options.
Controls & Harnesses
Players 1 & 2 are on the JAMMA harness (limited to 2–3 buttons). For additional buttons or players:
- 6-pin harness: Adds buttons 4, 5, 6 for P1/P2 (e.g. Street Fighter).
- 9-pin harness: Adds P3 and P4 controls (Konami cabs/images use 2 harnesses).
Some cabinets may require drilling new control panel holes if buttons aren’t physically present. Pre-made plug-and-play harnesses are available in our store.
Requirements
- Raspberry Pi 3B or 3B+ (our images support only these models).
- ARpiCADE JAMMA adapter (3/4 Player edition).
- JAMMA-compliant arcade cabinet.
Attention / Warnings
- Our images support RPi 3B/3B+ only. Pi 4 requires separate forum builds.
- RPi 3B+ not included. Must provide your own or purchase separately.
- Limited RPi 3B stock available.
- CAUTION: When installing the 4-Player adapter PCB, ensure pins are aligned properly or you may burn out your Pi. There should be a visible small gap showing pin alignment.
