I'm pretty stupid when it comes to these things and was hoping that there was someone on this forum who could make me a xbox 360 to jamma set up that will be (hopefully) plug and play. I have a JP 360, a SCART cable for it (and HDMI cable, which is what I am using on my TV) and would like to have some sort of plug-and-play solution to hook it up to my Astro City. I searched for threads detailing this, but I couldn't find anything that A) seemed current or B) was within my wheelhouse of understanding.
I'm obviously willing to pay to get this hooked up and hopefully finally play all the ports I have on a cab. If you can help, hit a brother up.

Tim was hinting not long ago that he was making another batch of Scart to Arc.

Re: Interested in purchasing an Xbox 360 to jamma set up
I'm literally looking for the same solution as we speak.
I received word from Tim this morning that he is no longer making the SCART to JAMMA he sells, but is looking at developing a newer version which he hopes to have released at some point towards the end of the year.
I believe the other options are:
- Look to buy one second hand (I personally haven't been able to find one, I've been trying a few places. Locally here in Australia, on Arcade Otaku, Jammaplus, FB groups)
- Invest in Lemony Vengeance's 360Jamma - I think it's slightly outside of my current budget, but will potentially look into this solution once funds allow it.
I don't know of any other methods to get to get a 360 working on the Astro since it's only a 15/24 khz screen and not 31khz vga.
Mind you, the Viletim SCART to JAMMA only sorts you out for video, you'd still need to get your controls sorted. I've got a few spare PS360 pcbs that I could easily wire up to a 12 pin TE AMP Up connector and just plug it into the existing harness.
I'd definitely be interested to know if there's any other way of connecting the 360 - I would love to play my 360 shmups on a CRT to give it that arcade perfect experience.
