PC Engine Cable for Panatwin. What´s this?
« on: September 25, 2012, 08:27:51 AM »
Hello there.
I was checking evil-bay auctions and see this item:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Engine-Cable-for-Panatwin-/330799437434?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d052ed67a
For what i found on the net. It´s an adaptor to an arcade machine controller?

It looks like a partial JAMMA edge to make a PCE-> JAMMA converter accept 6 button pads. The Panatwin is a Supergun, so it might be semi-proprietary to that.

So this is to put a pc engine inside an arcade cabinet?
Strange thing.

Not really. The Panatwin supergun looks like a huge 2 player arcade joystick. The adapter plugs into the controller port allowing the supergun to be used as controllers for the PCE. You'd still need to use the PCE's video out to the TV.

yeah all this does is allow one to play PCE games with the PanaTwin's sticks.

It's pretty much the same thing as what I did here:
