6. JAMMA Video Standard - SEGA Modiciations

Note

This page assumes you have read the documentation regarding the JAMMA video standard. If you have not, it is recommended to read that first.

6.1 Packet framing

Request packet (master->slave)
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 …
E0h n Dest Seq CMD D0 D1 D2 … Dn-5 SUM
Response packet (slave->master)
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 …
E0h n Src Seq Status CMD Report D0 D1 D2 … Dn-7 SUM

6.2 Commands and responses

Response packets of this format include a source address, which should match the destination in the request. The sequence number of both the request and response should be the same (? todo: verify this), and should be modulo 32 (20h).

While the packet format would suggest it supports multiple commands, I have never observed more than a single command per packet. Response packets include the command number between their packet status and report status bytes.

6.3 Individual commands

The following is a reference table for communication with an 838-14971. Endpoints required for MIFARE cards are marked with M, FeliCa F, and LEDs L.
