    USB-DVG Users support thread

    Yes, I did quickly try and adjust all the settings to find anything that might help. Nothing individually worked, its probably going to need a mixture of adjustments so I was asking just in case davek had found the magic incantation.

    USB-DVG Users support thread

    Hey @davek did you ever get to the bottom of this? I've just run into the same issue (also on a g05-801). Monitor still works perfectly with a real Asteroids board, just the USB-DVG shows the funny loops on the text. I also can't really find any settings to make the Asteroids bullets super...

    G05-802 HV cage in a G05-801 Possible??

    Bit of a necro bump because I was doing some research to see if the 802 > 801 HV was possible, from this thread it seems like it might be. Re uploading Bills schematics image retrieved from archive.org.

    Is there any change that there's some intermittent contacts somewhere? Either on a connector or in the wiring harness itself? Do you know anywhere nearby with a PAT9K who you can borrow boards from the swap in/out? I'm guessing not, they aren't exactly common! Mine is also dead with what...

    Which would you rather have? Mario Bros or Joust?

    Joust definitely. Just a cooler game, better cab, much better sound, etc. MB was always a 'meh' game for me.

    Atari Star Wars - PCB glitches in the cabinet

    If it's happening in just one cabinet with 2 sets of otherwise good PCBs I would suspect the edge connector first. I would (and do) run jumper wires from the AR2 GND and 5v test points to the PCB equivalents just to take some of the strain off. You can (if you have the right tool) remove the...

    Hey guys, I might be looking to move on my PAT9000 in the near future. What's the going rate for one nowadays? Just the base unit, some game plugs, the PCB connector harnesses (2). TIA Dan

    The Arcade Game YOU Would Have Axed As An Arcade Company Executive...

    Hah, as soon as I read the topic I thought 'Kangaroo'. I believe Atari bought the rights from another company 'Sun'? God knows what they were thinking, although the cabinet they came up with looks great. My game to leave on the cutting room floor is: Red Baron. Sorry it was a good...

    Atari Pole Position 2 hangs after RAM/ROM test

    Sorry, I should have made it clear that it was the 07 custom socket. I did have to replace the 161 and a few other IC's, this issue was still there even after that. They had been working for years with the damage but when it died I thought I should replace them while I was looking for this...

    Atari Pole Position 2 hangs after RAM/ROM test

    OK I finally got to the bottom of this one so posting in case it can help someone else in future. The cause of this issue was that the 128V clock signal from custom 07 @7M (pin 20) wasn't reaching the 74LS161 @6A (pin 2). The root cause was a bad 28 pin socket for the 07 custom. Once this...

    ZVG Vector Setup Help

    They are just .wav files. Early versions of MAME used these instead of emulating the sound hardware. They go in the /sample folder iirc and can be found whereever you find MAME rom. If you're stuck I can probably dig out a set of the samples for VMame.

    Oh OK, I thought given that it's the original one from your PAT9K (if your is serial 00067?) that it would be cool to match it back up.
