JVS to JAMMA adaptor
The official Konami PWB(A)404944B (GU707-JE) adaptor that allows JAMMA games to be played, pictured right
Other alternatives include:
Namco (Cyberlead)
River Service (not recommended!)
Custom built Irken Labs (Invzim) Jammafier, a brilliant adaptor that can include a Tri-Sync Helper to remove the need for switches and/or cable swaps
I/O Compatability
The Konami PWB405270B IO has been tested as working with the following:
- Taito Type X2 (Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition)
- Sega Naomi - Dip Switch 4 or 7 (depending on I/O) needs to be turned ON in order for some (mostly Capcom) games to work. The JVS menu needs to show COIN 2 SLOT Thanks to Yosai for translating the manual (image to the right) and testing
- Tatsunoko vs Capcom - Dip Switch 4 or 7 (depending on I/O) needs to be turned ON, otherwise some buttons result in the I/O detecting a coin being inserted.
The Konami PWB405270B IO is NOT compatible with the following:
- Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Some buttons result in the IO detecting a coin being inserted. The game is fully playable, but the coin sound gets somewhat annoying after a while
- Some Sega Naomi games (example SFZ3 Upper, Capcom vs SNK...)
ERROR. JAMMA I/O BOARD(S) DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SWITCHES OR FUNCTIONS.
More info can be found here:

tl;dr - Some Naomi games check for Analogue functionality on the I/O (which the Konami doesn't have) even if the game doesn't use/require it
The above info is no longer correct - turning Dip switch 4 or 7 ON rectifies the error and games become fully playable. Most likely cause of the issue is the games expecting/requiring 2 x Coin slots, whereas the Konami only supports 1 by default.
Screen curvature compatabilty
Cabinets that appear to have the same screen curvature as the Windy II are Blast city, Net city and New Versus city.
A number followed by a letter between brackets on the label of Toshiba CRTs is the date of manufacture (4D = April 1994, 6H = August 1996, etc.) and is not part of the CRT designation.
| Tube make/number | Model | Chassis | Notes |
| Toshiba A68LBT696X (7K) | K29CH55 | Toshiba PB7534 | |
| Toshiba A68KZN696X (7D) | K29CH55 | Toshiba PB7534 | Toshiba PB-9430-1 compatible |
| Toshiba A68KZN696X (6G) | Unknown | Nanao MS-2930-S | Also used in Blast City cabs |
| Toshiba A68KSM696X (9L) | Unknown | Nanao MS-2934 | Tube is also compatible with a MS-2931 chassis |
| Hitachi A68K5A30X (D) | Unknown | Nanao MS9 compatible | Screen curvature is not exactly the same, but more compatible than tubes from an Astro / NAC / E2 /Windy 1 |
| Sanwa 29E31S | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown if this screen curvature will fit, but it has been suggested it will |
Last resort if unable to source a compatible tube - source a Windy 1, 'borrow' the bezel, stick an MS8/9 tube in it :twisted:
