Allows you to use your Karate Champ game board, in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.

Karate Champ was a smash hit for Data East in the mid 80s. In the US, it was the highest-grossing arcade game of 1985. The game itself was developed by Technos. 

While Karate Champ can be used with the Data East conversion class adapter, the game’s 2 joystick controls and pin assignment are quite different from that pinout. This adapter attempts to make Karate Champ as playable as possible on a 4 button or a 6 button Street Fighter II control panel.


Compatibility:

Controls Mapping:

The controls for this game are rather unique in that it uses 2 joysticks for the various moves that can be performed. The left joystick, used primarily for movement is mapped to the JAMMA side as is, while the right attack direction joystick is mapped to the 4 button in the order they are normally mounted on the control panel.
