NBA Play by Play, 4 players mode
#383798 - 09/27/19 04:36 PM


Hi
Is there anyway to configure NBA Play by Play to 4 players mode?
I've seen cabinets and control panels of the game for 4 players, but mame only allows 2. 4 players controls also appear in the test menu of the game, as well as the dip switches.

I don' have a clue, maybe there's something missing in its emulation or maybe an undumped 4 players clone of the game.

It's a dip switch setting and the controls for players 3 and 4 aren't hooked yet. I honestly don't know what controls them yet.

EDIT: Player 3 and 4's inputs are controlled by an additional pcb (PWB 405270B; probably just a semiconductor). Both semiconductors communicate serially via usb cable. It's nearly the same setup as in Silent Scope.

Edit 2: https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/images/1/1f/Konami_JVS_JAMMA_Manual.pdf The actual pcb itself.

If anyone has this pcb. Please document this in the hornet driver.

I had thoughts to link this but in a way, yes. The listing of this ended and didn't have any initial plans to purchase this.

4 Player NBA Play by Play requires H8/3644 emulation new [Re: Hydreigon]
#384222 - 11/10/19 12:11 AM


Turns out I kind of mentioned the wrong pcb. This is the pcb I found out was correct: https://www.gamestone.co.uk/gsrcade/arca...s_board_top.jpg

This H8/3644 MCU based pcb would normally come packaged with a Konami Windy II cabinet for JVS controls. Konami also had this idea to ship this pcb with NBA Play by Play four player kits (not really the best idea considering should the pcb fail, players 3 and 4 won't work). This is an instance where a game would use both Jamma AND JVS inputs. Konami also developed a "JVS to Jamma" pcb using that same MCU.

I can also confirm that same pcb is used in Fighting Bujutsu from the manual and pcb's matching connector numbers. I guess the unemulated H8/3644 could explain why inputs in Fighting Bujutsu don't fully work.
