I yanked apart a N64 aftermarket arcade stick to use on a JAMMA box I am building. It has 3 wires. Power, Ground and Serial Data. I dont know how PSX controllers are but I would imagine they would do something similar or at least be mulitplexed. NES controllers have 5 wires, Power, Ground...

Re: Putting an Electrohome G07-CBO monitor in a Tron upright Im not sure if Tron uses Positive or Negative sync. If you have the wrong kind of sync, you get all kinds of funk on the screen. I had that problem on a Centipede earlier this week. Seems to me that your boardset may not be...

Very nice scouting report there. Lots of cool classic games. I love going to arcades that have a lot of classics. Playing all of those wonderful games is one of the things that makes me truly feel alive. I wish there were more arcades around here. Hell, I wish there were arcades around here...

Yes, that would be great. I wont be able to work on the machine until at least Monday or Tuesday.

On the subject of Defender, just how many of these things were made? I took a head count today and I found 10 converted Defenders between the shop and the burnpile on the farm. I had the disagreeable task of parting out the remains of 2 of them last weekend and 1 today. There wasnt much...

I have to move my 4 babies 135 miles this weekend to my new place. Thats going to suck very much bad. Especially because I live in a basement right now and its 5 or 6 steps up a narrow stairwell. Fortunately, my new place is on ground level. Although its a 1 bedroom house and doesnt have...

KRK, I looked through the monitors on the shelves and on the floor and asked about that stuff. Out of about 60 loose monitors, there was 1 XY and it was missing the deflection board.

The board comes up and runs with up to 3 players. However I have only been able to wire up Player 1 and Player 2. I looked all over the board and there was no auxillary harness of any kind, only the JAMMA connector. Coleco, I would very much appreciate it if you would look this up for me...

I dont know much about the Defender technical stuff but I know where you can get a set of boards.

This is actually a JAMMA board, however it does not have an auxillary connector for Player 3. I am guessing that they somehow monkeyed with the JAMMA connector to squeeze the Player 3 controls into it. If anybody knows about this, please let me know. I am supposed to finish the cab tomorrow...

Youve got the right idea. I have moved several machines this way just fine. You do need to be careful with that monitor though. The first machine I moved had only 2 bolts holding down the monitor, and of course, with the machine on its back, the monitor was hanging from those bolts. I did...

Cool, man. I would like to see what you needed to do in order to make this work. I dont have a Galaxian at this point but I am going to. I also like Frogger but I'm not sure I like it enough to justify having another cabinet around.

I didnt look and Im not going to but, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a SF2 Championship with corrupted characters. They flicker all of the time, its only with certain characters but 4 or 5 of them exhibit this behavior. The gameplay is all normal. I dont know if Ive got some bad RAM or a bad ROM or what. I dont have any extra RAM or ROMs to test it...
