This can be done with an extra set of wires that directly connect the supergun to the arcade board (called a 'kick harness') or by wiring the extra buttons to some unused pins on the JAMMA connector itself. The most common additional feature is wirings for extra buttons. While it is usually assumed that a supergun will automatically play JAMMA-compatible arcade boards, many systems support additional features not provided by JAMMA. Sound output is usually by either 3.5mm, or phono sockets. Sound is by default mono line level as this is the Jamma standard, but many games offer non-standard stereo. As the SCART connector is not common on televisions in North America, a supergun may also convert the RGB signal into composite video, S-video, Component Video or VGA signals, with varying degrees of quality. A SuperGun plugs into a JAMMA board and provides native RGB video output, usually through an SCART connector. Some superguns are a large box with two arcade controllers side by side, resembling the top of a typical arcade cabinet.Ī SuperGun contains the inner workings of a standard arcade videogame cabinet inside a small plastic or metal box. Superguns frequently resemble video game consoles which plug into a television or monitor, and have detached joysticks and play arcade boards as if they were large cartridges. The supergun provides this universal interface in a greatly reduced size, allowing arcade games to be tested or enjoyed without needing the entire cabinet. Arcade games typically are designed to be used in a universal cabinet design.
