I just purchased a Golden Axe game, and there is some other interface inbetween the on that hooks to the pcb and the compontents. There was a diagram inside the cabinet that says jamma pinout. The wires coming from the Sega pcb connector are soldered onto this other board that appears to be Jamma. As a result the sound doesn't work and the video is messed up. Should I attempt to rewire this using only the Sega connector? I'm a novice, not very good at soldering, but I can figure it out. Are there any good online references to rewiring a cabinet? I found one but the parts don't really look at all like the ones on the diagrams. Thanks.

If your cabinet is JAMMA, then the converter (the thing in between the Golden Axe PCB and you cabinet-wiring) is probably faulty/wrong..

Information on JAMMA can be found here on System16. Info on the Golden Axe pinout can be found just about anywhere on the Internet.

If you are not that keen on soldering, there is also the option to buy a converter PCB to convert the PCB's signals to Jamma.

Arcadeshop sells these (not very cheap, though) : http://www.arcadeshop.com/pics/Segasys16-jamma-Adapter.jpg
