Snes Ebay Auction (Arcade Related)

[Lucifersam1]

Hi everyone-

I was looking at this auction all day on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8163416077

I wanted to bid on it badly, however, I am closing on a house in less than 2 weeks and I jus couldn't justify the expense (plus my girlfriend would have killed me).

Basically it is a 5 game adapter for the SNES, and as well as a jamma connector. The auction details are a little more indepth (alhough not much). The seller didn't really seem to know much about it.

I didn't see anything in the Guide about the 5 game adapter, nor the jamma harness. Do you think they are both custom? There was a manual for the "MiultiGame II," which was the 5 game adapter. It was quite intriguing. Any info would be great.

thanks,
chris

Thanks for the links. I have seen the Nintendo Super System (even played one in a local arcade in the early 90's), but that hardware is not the same as the hadware in the auction. The carts for the NSS cannot be used in an SNES as I recall and vice versa. I've never seen a conversion like that before. Also, I wonder about that MultiGame II. I still can't locate it in the guide (although that doesn't mean it isn't there :).

Yeah, scroll down about halfway through that other thread and you'll see the SNES to JAMMA machine.
