    Out Run no sound, video patterns

    I assembled an Out Run upright from parts I've acquired over the last three years. I have it (finally) all assembled, but it's not working. I'm at the limit of what I know how to check. The details: Isolation transformer voltages look good. Votage from the switcher to the PCB look good. Coin...

    Out Run CP bottom plate?

    Nearing the finish line on this Out Run restore. Eventually, I'll post pics. I was putting the control panel back together, and it seems unlikely to me this was exposed like this. I think the parts manual indicates a plate was there, but not illustrated anywhere. Would appreciate a pic if...

    Story from MGS translator

    This is a long read by modern standards, but an interesting story from a guy who translated Japanese games to English. He took some liberties with Metal Gear Solid and upset Kojima. I don't think I agree with some of the changes he lists either, but it does point out what a difficult job these...

    Easy Coin Door Question

    I'm refurbing an over/under coin controls door. I have no prior experience with these. I got it all stripped down, painted and reassembled. Then, I went to put new mechs in it (there were none when I got it), and I realized that it looks like I should have put the mechs in before I screwed it...

    Out Run DIP Switch Label Reproduction

    I made a DIP switch setting chart for my Out Run upright I'm restoring and I thought others might like to have my duplicate. This file is a PDF you can print on an 8.5 x 11 and trim down. My work is based off an original. Know that it is not as exact as it could be, but it's really damn close...

    Oh You Rottendog

    I bought a Rocky & Bullwinkle over the summer. My first pin. It's about the only one I like that isn't insanely popular and expensive, so it's a good starter pin. A previous owner put in a color DMD and did LED upgrade. The flippers didn't work that well. The right one doesn't hold if the ball...

    Scratch Build Centipede

    This has been keeping me busy for a while now, but it's finally done. I need some stickers yet, but done enough to play and share. I know that Centipedes are plentiful, but I find some kind of untold joy in scratch building a cabinet. Here are the good and bad notes before I get to the pictures...

    Centipede Build Question

    First, I know it's cheaper to just buy one of the many Centipede's on the market, but I've found that I like scratch building stuff. I got all the parts CNCed from the plans on @bdn103's site. Then I realized I have no idea how they fit together for assembly. I printed them all off to scale on...

    Wired: Covid Pulling the Plug on Japanese Arcades

    I don’t think it’s unique to Japan really, but I guess they’re probably the last place “real” arcades we’re still somewhat common https://www.wired.com/story/covid-coronavirus-japanese-arcades/

    Arcade hate from your family growing up

    Tell your story of your family (or others) hating on your love of the arcade and arcade games. For example, one of my grandpas HATED that I played video games. Once in a great while I'd end up with my grandparents at the mall. By that age they would allow me to go off on my own and rendezvous...

    Markdown support?

    I don't suppose there's an option or add-on to support Markdown? I'd buy that for a dollar.

    APB Conversion

    This was from some Word Press blog I stumbled across. The owner just "upgraded" it. Not only is it a mame conversion, it's a bad mame conversion. I saved the image and not the blog link, but everything you need to know is in the image :) At least it looks like you could convert it back.

    When do Centipede volcanoes blink (or not)

    My current scratch build project is a Centipede. I was planning on using a 60-in-1 board for this. It's been forever since I've played a Centipede, but if I remember right, the player 1 / 2 cone lights blink after you coin up the game. This is not functionality I will be getting with 60-in-1...
