JAMMA Standard Pinout

JAMMA (Japan Arcade Machine Manufacturers' Association) is a standard 56-way connector used on many arcade boards to simplify conversion of cabinets from one game to another. The majority of games use a subset of this pinout. Some games (e.g. Street Fighter) which need extra buttons have extra connectors for these additional controls. The JAMMA connector is a 3.96mm-pitch edge connector (male on the game board).
