    Thinking of rethemeing a pin someday

    Here is a link to a video where I go over how the sounds were changed for the Ghostbusters custom pin using the inexpensive MP3 Trigger boards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct7sOLJ4aq8 Brian

    Getting serious about setting the pitch or leveling a pin

    Lots of later model games have a built in level to set your slope. Usually it's somewhere near the shooter lane on the top of the playfield.

    EM vs SS Folks?

    I have found that board issues with ss/dmd games tend to be few and far between, aside from the usual burned connectors for the GI (lights) or maybe WPC reset issues. If you can solder and follow instructions, most common problems are well documented. I own EM, SS and DMD games and I have...

    *bump* Any recommendation on who to send this out to for repair?

    Simpsons PCB - EPROM 12c Tests BAD, game resets.

    I am having trouble after replacing the ic. I put a socket in ahead of time and plugged in the new chip. Now I just get a flashing white screen when I boot the game and no response to the test button. Maybe my soldering skills weren't up to par for the small chip. Any suggestions or...

    Simpsons PCB - EPROM 12c Tests BAD, game resets.

    Thanks guys! Yes, I saw that the chip was available from a few sources online. I do also have TMNT which I believe has this same chip. The problem is, while I am decent at board work, I don't know that I could get the chip off of the TMNT board without damaging it. No, I hadn't made any...

    Simpsons PCB - EPROM 12c Tests BAD, game resets.

    I think I will take a shot at replacing the chip at ER5911. It's not socketted, but it's only 8 pins. From what I have read 12c doesn't actually contain game data. Its something like a flash ram. I would think I could just put in another blank chip and flash it using the test button trick?

    Simpsons PCB - EPROM 12c Tests BAD, game resets.

    Ok, so I am getting a bad test result on 12c when I boot up the game. The board worked fine up until this point. All other games work in the cab fine. The game will keep running the self test over and over flipping the screen vertically on half the tests. I have done some searching and I...

    Check this out TFTC owners!

    Traded out my TFTC a while back, but I'm pretty sure the apron stickers were exactly like those. What is different about them?

    CarnEvil Gun Problem

    I wanted to let you guys know that I was able to find an NFL Blitz pcb and convert it to CarnEvil in no time. The game is working great! Thanks for all the help narrowing this problem down! I'm sure glad I didn't need a new monitor.

    CarnEvil Gun Problem

    For what it's worth, I have had NBA Jam running in the CarnEvil cabinet without issue for the last 2 hours. I put the CarnEvil board and hard drive into a Dynamo JAMMA cab and it still came up with red only. Does anyone have an extra Seattle board? Maybe an old copy of Blitz?
