Anybody got the DB-15 pinout for a Sigma AV6000?

Yup, another DB-15/supergun question. Anybody have a diagram handy with the controller pinout?

I thought the controller pinout was equal to a standard neogeo controller pinout.

Not quite; it allows at least 2 extra buttons. Not sure which pins buttons 5 and 6 are located at (pins 2 and 10 are unused, pin 9 is a duplicate, pin 8 is for voltage). A pinout would save some trial and error.

Does this help?

That's the pinout of a 15-pin RGB cable though. I don't think this is the same cable used for the controller though, is it?

You're the man, GP! Thanks a bunch, that's definitely the controller pinout alongside the other stuff.

Just to make sure I understand how the Sigma controllers work though for a converter, I've got a few final questions:

-What exactly do the 2 leftmost buttons do on your 9000TB?
-Does switch 0 in a controller pinout play a purpose in anything?
-Does the Start button add a coin and press start at the same time on the 9000TB?
-For anybody using a Neo controller or PS2 converter, does Select perform the Neo Geo Select function or does it add a coin?

Glad to be of service. I actually thought a Google search would've been much easier. That one actually tooks ome work.

1: The one on the bottom row is insert coin, and the on above it is 1P start.
2: No idea
3: Nope -- as w/ question one, they are two different buttons. Actually, it is 1P start in controller port 1, 2P start in controller port two.
4: No Neo Geo anything, so can't help.

I do wish you the best luck in your supergun endeavors though.

the configuration of the wire harness determines the button layout, so the Sigma superguns are often sold with different types of JAMMA looms for use with certain games (CPS-II/III, MVS, Atomiswave, etc). these specialized harnesses can be purchased from the arcade PCB stores in Japan.

btw sorry for bumping an old thread

No, thanks a lot for the diagrams and JAMMA harness info. I could certainly use that information at some point.

Actaully, Sigmas aren't sold with any harness, as Sigma does not make one. If you look at a product page at Mak and other shops, there is no harness listed. Akihabara shops will sometimes package them w/ a harness for a better price, but these have become somewhat standard if I'm not mistaken. The other harnesses are made and sold seperately.
