Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures for today’s post, but I’ll provide a brief update on the status of the All American Football to Golden Tee conversion. I’ve created a “mock” control panel to test the fit on the cabinet and have temporarily wired the trackball and buttons to the jamma harness. While the control panel fits on the cabinet, it’s going to need some modifications to look good. I’ve verified that the trackball and all of the buttons are working. I’ve wired the coin inputs up and have verified that both are working.

The game now passes the initialization screen (thanks to a new hard drive) and works great. I still need to wire up the speakers, the service switch and find a way to mount the monitor horizontally in the cabinet. I had a plan for the monitor and started working on it last night. About 10 minutes in, I realized that may plan was not going to work. Back to the drawing board. That will be my main task for this weekend. Stay tuned.
