    Sanni's Open Source Cart Reader

    In the event anyone wants to give it a go but doesn't want to end up with a bunch of spare custom PCBs (you usually end up ordering a minimum of 5), I have a few extra V5r3 PCB sets, some cart slots, various loose parts (LCD, arduino, etc), and spare adapter boards for NES (necessary on older...

    Sanni's Open Source Cart Reader

    I'm curious if anyone else here has built/used one of these cart readers? https://github.com/sanni/cartreader (I think we may even have a few contributors around these parts) There's been a lot of talk over the years here in random threads about various dedicated console cart readers, primarily...

    I couldn't have said it better. Sad day indeed.

    so what did u do with your games today?

    Very nice, @DLP! Speaking of Gyruss, mine has been down for some time due to a short and I finally spent some time yesterday and traced it to the coin door. Spent today resolving that, installing one of @RiddledTV's 2 way Konami switchers (finally got to see my Time Pilot repair I did a while...

    Mine seems to be minus one as well (maybe it's cached and doesn't update right away?), but that "6W" is 6 Wanted ;)

    Pac-Man 99

    Didn't take long for people to ramp up. First several rounds when it launched I was consistently in the top 5 then when I came back after dinner I was lucky to be in the top 50 :LOL: Finally settled on the Switch Lite's d-pad being the best that I've got in terms of fluid controls and then...

    Pac-Man 99

    Hopefully this will make up for Nintendo being Nintendo and removing Super Mario Bros 35 last month. Starts in less than 10 minutes and I legit can't wait. I had always hoped for a multiplayer version of Championship Edition as well as an online version of Battle Royale so this appears to fit...

    so what did u do with your games today?

    Been trying to catch up on a lot of old projects I never got around to - mostly simple stuff that just wasn't that important...artwork that I never applied, some minor bondo work here and there, etc. Then I went and found a Space Zap after years of looking and it started having issues shortly...

    NEW 3D Printable Arcade Parts (thingiverse)

    @horde5150 made a nice joystick spacer which I used with a couple ServoStiks in my ArcadeSD cocktail: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4443754 I have several things published for console stuff (NGPC) but haven't put any arcade specific stuff I've made up yet. I imagine once I'm sure they're...

    This doesn't help with originals but for anyone looking for these that doesn't want to shell out for the originals, someone collected them in a book on Blurb here...

    Farewell to Grinkers Virtual Hangout and BitKit Challenge!

    I'll be there if I can. I may be traveling at this exact time but will try to make it back home before 8PM central so I can catch a bit of it. Also, I've been on the fence for a BitKit for a while - who can get one to me in time? ;)

    Got the megatouch ISO, now what?

    It may be different per model but the basic idea from what I recall is to burn the ISO to a CD, attach a CD drive and boot from it. https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/school-me-on-megatouch-games.438519/

    Arkanoid upright "BAD HARDWARE" at boot

    I was coming back to do just that and post a photo when I saw your request. Now I look like an a-hole, don't I? ;) Here's a before and after - I've since cleaned up my solder job but it gets the idea across. It looks like it's IC27 pin 8 to a pad just next to the chip.

    Arkanoid upright "BAD HARDWARE" at boot

    Figured I might figure it out right after posting. I did another look over the board and found a trace that looked like it might have been cut and sure enough it was. Added a jumper wire and everything looks good now.

    Arkanoid upright "BAD HARDWARE" at boot

    I have an original arkanoid board that boots to a "BAD HARDWARE" message. I've tried reseating everything and swapped the z80 out for a known good one just in case, with no luck. I've seen old threads where this message came up but unfortunately never saw a resolution to any of them. If it...
