Generous giveaway--thank you!

Needless to say, doing either of these things would be legally dodgy, although it's certainly a legal grey area that if one of the people who was scammed out of money had bought a controller in this run and was to not pay, that could be seen as an attempt at a self-remedy for the previous theft...

Bump. Willing to hear offers--I really have no concept of what these ought to go for.

Hi guys, selling a NOS All-American Football control panel and boardset, for the game by Leland. I bought this off eBay a little while back and I have attached a PCB to the panel that accepts 12 inputs and two analog axes and outputs to USB. But I haven't installed either one into a machine...

Ditto. I suck at Ms. Pac when it doesn't have the speedup chip installed. And I live in Mesa! Oh, what could have been . . . ;)

Oh lord. He probably threatened Bob.

Came up for me, Frizz, so he may have blocked you somehow.

I've gotten through it on the NES with a gamepad. Since I grew up playing it that way I have a feeling it'd be more difficult for me to play with arcade controls.

Heh, probably a wise choice!

Yeah I've got a big mirror, though I am about to kill whoever programmed the pokeys on the self test (were those really the best four notes you could come up with dude? Come on, lol) but I think I've got it. In game, everything now lines up perfectly too. Thanks a million!

Awesome, Talon. Messing with the y-bip while I'm on the crosshatch part of the self-test, the characters now go straight across the screen instead of being at an angle, but the hatch is still all over the place. So I barely touch x-bip and now I'm pretty damn close on the hatch. Here's a shot...

I also just noticed +6.8 is running a little low at 6.54, and according to this page, http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/games/tempest.html#cant-tune "Possible VSM analog power problems The most common cause of an inability to tune the video properly is the power supplies to the analog vector section...

Thanks Talon. I went ahead and took pics of all the test screens. Here they are. I again apologize for the quality -- they're taken with a crappy webcam that is hard to hold steady or particularly straight. Regardless, you can see that the hatch pattern in #2 is especially pretty and the...

Yeah, once I put one lead on the left 36vAC and the other lead on the right 36vAC I got 35.9. Before, I had put one lead on either the left or the right 36vAC and one lead on GND, so that's when I got 18.0. Makes perfect sense, right?

Ground -- I didn't even think about that, which is silly since that's the obvious reason why there are two points even if you don't know what you're doing, lol. But I should've remembered that, thank you.
