Super Gun

    First off, for those of you who don't know what a "Super Gun" is, it's now a misnomer name actually.  There once  
actually was a "Super Gun."  It was the very first device that let you play arcade games at home, without a cabinet.
But nowadays, the word "Super Gun" basically describes any device that lets you play actual arcade games in the
comfort of your own home, without a cabinet.  Back during the Street Fighter 2 days (early 1990's), when the mother
of all fighting games came out, these device started appearing.  They were pretty popular in Japan and to this day,
still are.  In the USA however, they are less popular.  Currently only 2 companies make Super Gun devices.
The more popular of the two is the one made by Mas Systems, in which they call the "Super Nova."
The other company, called Great Western Trading Company, just  started making their own Super Gun device,
which they call H.G.A (home game arcade system).

Mas System's "Super Nova"

Features 2 players simultaneous Up to 4 players simultaneous maximum (added option) 6 button control panel with Street Fighter 2 style layout Stereo output:  RCA jacks for both LEFT/RIGHT channels Ultimate pushbuttons with cherry micoswitches Ultimate joysticks with cherry micoswitches Internal 3 inch mono speaker Internal power supply with +5V {15A}, -5V {2A}, +12V {1A} JAMMA & JAMMA+ compatible Auxiliary connector for additional buttons Video output 1:  RGB and S-video (8 pin female DIN) Video output 2:  Composite video Made of 3/4 inch thick high density particle board

One of the most important things to know is the layout of the pin connectors.  Your Super Gun won't mean shit if
you can't output the signal to either a TV or a monitor.  To make things more simple for me, I used the pinouts that the MAS System Super NOVA uses.  It's simple, yet works pretty well.  A 5 pin female DIN can be used in place of the 8 pin female DIN, if you just want RGB on one connector.  But for those who want to make their system more compact and have less connectors in the back, using an 8 pin female DIN for both the RGB and S-video, is the way to go.
