Hi everyone, Having not touched my SS2 for a few days, I saw an 'analog IO error' on power up displayed after the power on tests and during the intro screen. The error hasn't returned, but now the scope 'twitches' on the screen, making the game unplayable. These spasmodic movements occur even...

Hi everyone, I need to get hold of a NAMCO gun driver PCB as used in Time Crisis 1. thanks

Hi everyone, I've just inherited a series 1 time crisis single. The game is tidy inside and powers up, goes into attract mode and coins up, but won't start. I'm replacing the gun, which I think is busted, but the sound is also impossibly loud and I'm not sure how to get into test mode and turn...
