Arcade Express is proud to be the official distributor of ArcadeForge.net products which is undoubtedly one of the most interesting Arcade related parts out there. The idea behing the Pi2jamma is magnificent. Being able to enjoy all your favourite retro consoles and Arcade games on your original arcade cabinet with Pixel Perfect resolutions thanks to the Pi2Jamma and the Raspberry Pi Mini Computer. 

The Pi2Jamma V2 Pro card is a board that allows you to connect your Raspberry Pi 2/3/3B+/4 to a JAMMA connector via the GPIO connector. It is an easy and simple way to connect your Raspberry Pi 2/3/3B+/4 to your Jamma Arcade Cabinet, providing 15Khz video and audio output in native pixel PERFECT resolution.

To control Joysticks and push buttons on your Arcade Cabinet simply connect the PI2Jamma PCB to your JAMMA connector. Download a compatible Retropie / Recalbox distribution or modify an existing one and done!

One of the great advantages of the Pi2Jamma PCB is that you will not experience any kind of LAG in the controls. The Pi2Jamma allows you to connect up to 6 action push buttons per player in addition to the Joysticks, the Credit and the Start button.

The Pi2jmma has a built-in video amplifier that provides RGB quality and 15Khz native output with PIXEL PERFECT resolution. Please note that in order to get the Raspberry Pi to output video image at 15Khz you will need a special distribution of Retropie/Recalbox/ RegameBox or modify an existing one. In any case, at the end of this listing we will explain everything and provide a series of links to several compatible distributions.

In regards to the sound, simply connect an audio cable (included in the package) from the Rasbperry Pi to the minijack connector on the Pi2Jamma Card and you'll be able to enjoy stereo sound thanks to the built-in audio amplifier on the board. In addition, you can control volume thanks to the volume knob you'll find on the PCB.
