Grounding of JAMMA pins 27, e: Refer to the Figure 3 for JAMMA pinouts. The initial JAMMA standard indicated that these pins were signal grounds. However, many gameboards have repurposed these pins for button inputs. To use pins “27” and “e” as button inputs, leave the pins vacant, as shown in Figure 5 below. To modify these pins to be grounded, apply jumpers (also commonly referred to as shunts).

If your harness does this, the Switcher will not respond to any inputs from the control panel.
