This is my fully restored Nintendo Red Tent. I had all of the exterior parts professionally sandblasted and powdercoated. A few notes on the restoration: - The whole machine was fully disassembled, cleaned/polished, and then reassembled. - Replaced the original levelers with caster wheels -...

Has anyone tried hacking vs Roms to work on non standard ppu chips?

I want a bunch.. 20+ I don't care what's on them since I can erase them when I need to. I'm also willing to do testing on a large lot to sort the bad from the good..for the right price. I just want them cheap.

I've been experimenting with running NES games on MAME emulated Dualsystem hardware. Towards this I've implemented a tool which will take a standard iNES ROM file and split it up in to 8k chunks for PRG/CHR sections on the Unisystem/Dualsystem hardware. Along with this tool there is a quick...

The Tetris mod went so easily I figure I can probably do a few more before going back to work. What games should I look at?

I said I was working on this in my other thread. Here it is: https://github.com/cyberkni/VsTetrisFreePlay You'll need to burn 2 new ROMs for it to work. I tested this in MAME and on my Red Tent. I hope to get some more time to work on the hack a bit more to clean up the title screen/credit...

Does anyone know of a freeplay version of Vs. Tetris? I run my Red Tent in freeplay but the dips for Vs. Tetris don't seem to have any settings for credits/free play.

I'm looking for just the daughterboard. However, I'd still be interested if its bundled with a mainboard as long as both sides work.

My ICB bar tends to drop the ball at hole 3. I suspect this is because the bar rides a bit further away from the playfield on the left side of the game. How far off the playfield should the bar be? It looks like the left white plastic mount is about 1/8" off the board while the right is...

The tubes which make up the bar on my ICB have worn indentations near the ends where the ball must have worn away at the bars over time. Does someone already sell these parts? If not, I think I could probably source the replacement parts if there is a need.

For my red tent restore I put every small metal part in an ultrasonic cleaner. It did a great job of removing crud and old grease. Does anyone else do this? What cleaner product do you use in the tank? I just picked up a tiny cleaner from harbor freight for about $30. It's doing a good job on...

I picked up an Ice Cold Beer tonight. Overall it appears to be in really good condition... except the base. The basement it lived in had a tendency to flood so its completely rotten. I'm looking for measurements off another cabinet so I can build a new one. Any tips on building one?

My red tent was missing the hooks for the locks which hold the sides down. A member was kind enough to photograph and measure a hook for me so I have reproduced the hook in laser cut acrylic. I will be posting the art I made to drive the laser cutter after I test the hooks more. However, not...

I have very staticy/cracking sound coming off both sides of a dual system board. My other board does not have this problem so I'm pretty sure the issue is with this board and not the amp on the monitor. Where should I be looking ?

I've been in the process of restoring a Nintendo Vs. Dualsystem cocktail for about 2 months now. The system I picked up from another KLOVer but it was a bit more beat than I wanted and the controls were sticky. In retrospect... I overpaid by about $200(you're welcome). My plan was to gut it...

I'm looking for scanned copies of the game adjustment stickers for Excite Bike and Vs. Goonies. Is there an archive of these anywhere? I know there are archives of the dip switch settings but I'm interested in the actual sticker. I'd like to make my own reproductions of them(without having to...

What did I do wrong here? I used 40 volume developer from sally beauty supply and oxyclean in a bowl. I let the button soak in the mix over night with a blacklight and regular light focused on the bowl.

I have all the original k6510 locks but no cams to secure the lids down. What are the specifications for these cams? I assume they are a hook style cam based on the cabinet. I found this site which sells an assortment of cams: http://www.mrlock.com/mfg/esp/cam_lock_parts.html

What should I be looking for in a potential powder coating shop? I plan to have a shop sand blast and coat my red tent. What questions should I ask to avoid surprises later on?

I'm planning on repainting my red tent. It has a few instructions stickers on it that I'd like to preserve. Specifically DIP switch settings and monitor adjustment stickers. These ones seem to be plain paper stickers without any coating. Are there techniques for removing stickers without...
