    Nintendo VS Dual System

    I managed to get my hands on a document that shows which ppu/cpu works with which games This really is an essental document for anyone that owns a VS. I'm hosting a copy here: http://www.geocities.com/njk_au/VSppuinterchange.doc If that fails just email me.

    Nintendo instruction cards/ manual

    This is the only manual i have been able to find. Can't find a manual for the dual system in either cocktail or upright.

    Nintendo VS Dual System

    As far as i can remember it has always been $595. I have seen it relisted a few times. Work restoring my machine is coming along nicely. Still need a host of parts to fix the coin mechs and path, trying to source them is the hardest part.

    Nintendo VS Dual System

    The control panel comes out in once piece, so it would be easy to custom fit and build one from scratch. I'd be interested to see if anyone has ever converted one to jamma and what games they were running. Although i'm sure this would open a whole host of problems, like interference between the...

    Nintendo VS Dual System

    Each to their own. I think the upright sort of just looks like 2 generic cabinets joined together at an angle. I think the cocktail is a little more unique and practical. And it's great when a few mates come around, sit down and have a few beers and play doubles tennis

    Nintendo VS Dual System

    When i actually saw it from a distance i thought it was a post box. But i think it could just as easily get confused with a newspaper vending machine

    Nintendo VS Dual System

    Yep we are definately refering to the same chip. I call it the picture processing unit or ppu for short. From what little information i have been able to find, i know that tko boxing uses the same ppu as excitebike but if you use the vs golf ppu it makes the colours incorrect. It's impossible...
