Compatibility and Usage Notes
- Platform compatibility: These accessories are intended for use with Capcom CPS1 hardware. They are commonly used with original CPS1 game boards as well as CPS1 multigame systems , depending on the accessory type.
- Accessory-specific fit: Compatibility varies by accessory (kick harnesses, wiring adapters, audio or video components). Always review the individual product description before ordering.
- Board revisions matter: CPS1 hardware exists in multiple PCB revisions and configurations. Some accessories may only apply to specific board layouts.
- Dedicated versus conversion cabinets: Converted cabinets may have altered wiring or power setups. Verify pinouts, grounding, and audio routing prior to installation.
- JAMMA considerations: CPS1 typically uses JAMMA for core signals, but additional wiring may be required for certain controls or cabinet configurations.
- Voltage and power: Confirm stable and correct power supply voltages before connecting accessories. Improper voltage or miswiring can permanently damage CPS1 boards.
- Installation responsibility: Most accessories are plug-in, but connector orientation is critical. Never force a connection—stop and re-check alignment if resistance is encountered.
- Best practice: Always power off the cabinet before installing or removing any CPS1 accessories or harnesses.
If you are unsure which accessory is correct for your CPS1 setup, contact us with clear photos of your CPS1 boards, cabinet wiring, and existing harness connections so we can help confirm compatibility before ordering.
