Click To Order





The PS2 / Wii Control Adaptor contains multiple connectors which can be used with either the Playstation 1 or 2 or Wii console. (Also works on Gamecube)
The Wii / PS2 Adaptor converts the output from the I-PAC (must have the PS/2 keyboard cable option, not USB) into Wii or PS2 commands. The controls connected to the I-PAC emulate the controls on the console controller as shown in the tables below. Important Note: The original console controllers contains some analog controls, and your arcade control panel has switch-type controls. This means that pressing each switch simulates the analog control being pushed hard across. Some games (flight sims for example) cannot be played with switch-type controls. On the Wii, only games which support the Classic Controller will work.
This adaptor can also be used with a keyboard. The keys shown in the tables below, simulate the actions of the original console controller.
The I-PAC controls shown in the tables are only valid if the MAME default codeset is being used in the I-PAC. If the I-PAC has been programmed with a different codeset, the button assignments will be different.

Wii AV to Arcade Monitor/Speaker Adaptor (Screw Connect)

wii to arcade controls

Click To Order

This cable plugs into the Wii AV port. It includes a video amplifier which boosts the Wii video signal to the level required by arcade monitors. It also includes a sync separator circuit. You can also plug in a pair of amplified speakers for sound. The monitor connects using screw connectors for R, G, B, Sync and GND.
IMPORTANT! This cable only works with 15Khz arcade monitors. It will NOT work with PC monitors. If your arcade monitor is a multi-frequency model (eg W-G D9500) and has a VGA connector then the adaptor with VGA plug (below) is the best choice.






Wii AV to J-PAC / Monitor / Speaker Adaptor (D Plug)

wii to arcade controls

This adaptor is also the correct type for use with multi-frequency monitors which have a VGA plug (eg W-G D9500) These monitors should be connected direct to this adaptor in all cases, even if you have a J-PAC. This adaptor will NOT work with PC monitors. It will only work with 15Khz arcade monitors (via a J-PAC) or multi-frequency monitors such as the W-G D9400.

To connect an PSX to a JAMMA cabinet you need the following items:
Wii / PS2 Control Adaptor
Wii AV to J-PAC / Monitor/ Speaker Adaptor (D Plug)
J-PAC with PS/2 keyboard cable option. see our main order page for this item.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION: When connecting this cable to the J-PAC you need to remove all of the frequency jumpers (ie 15, 25, 31) on the J-PAC, which allows all signals to pass through. Only later J-PAC boards have this facility. On older J-PAC boards you will need a replacement chip to enable this function. Please email for details.



Steps to connect a Wii to a JAMMA cabinet with a standard-res 15Khz arcade monitor
  • Decide on your control layout, which buttons you wish to be each console button, and program the J-PAC to match, using WinIPAC, with the J-PAC plugged into a PC. Don't forget you can use the J-PAC shift feature to assign a second function to each button/joystick direction.
  • Ensure everything is powered off!
  • Check your monitor and cabinet are grounded properly to avoid damage (see the J-PAC page for full details)
  • Connect the J-PAC to the JAMMA connector.
  • Connect the cabinet kick harness for buttons 5 and 6 to the J-PAC screw terminals (you will need 6 buttons per player for all consoles)
  • Connect the J-PAC to the Wii control adaptor using the PS/2 keyboard cable
  • Connect the two player cables to the Wii connectors under the top cover
  • Remove two red jumpers on the J-PAC (if fitted)
  • Connect the Wii AV adaptor to the Wii AV port and to the J-PAC video port.
  • Plug a pair of powered PC speakers into the jack on the Wii AV adaptor. Alternatively this jack can be connected to the J-PAC speaker terminals but the sound may be Mono depending on your cabinet wiring.
