    Index of Freeplay, High Score Save, and Bugfix mods

    The link to the Discs of Tron patch seems to have died - has anyone back this up by chance? Also, I'm hearing bits about a free play patch for the original Hang-On existing, but I can't find anything concrete about it. If anyone has any information, we're sitting on a machine that could really...

    House of the Dead 2 DX repair help!

    I had a very similar issue with my HOTD2, it turns out it was a bad wiring harness going to the gun sensor. I ordered a complete harnesses, swapped it out, and that did the trick. I would start by disassembling each gun, and using a multimeter to do a continuity test to both ends of the harness...

    Wizard of Wor stuck in a Bootloop

    My Wizard of Wor cabinet started doing this last week. I took the time today to take the board stack out, check for cold solder joints, clean pins on several ICs, and to check voltages and fuses. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, and I've reassembled to see no change. Flipping the test switch...

    TMNT Free Play ROM Hack

    DogP, you're one of my favorite internet people ever. Seriously, there's a few times a year where I look into modifying or fixing something and it turns out you've made a ton of progress in whatever it is i'm trying to do. Thanks for doing all the crazy tinkering that you do! I sold my original...

    FS Parts: FA: Konami Beatmania Effects Pedals Keyboard Turntable mixer marquee board p/s more

    I need most of these things - what would you accept to just ship them out in one go? I'm also trying to find the very top piece of the machine that holds the marquee in place. I'm missing that entire assembly on my machine. Oh, and the monitor glass. Do you have those items available by chance?

    Request: Cap List for a Hantarex Polo/2

    I purchased a cap kit for what I thought was a Polo monitor, and didn't find out until I had half the old caps unsoldered that I was working with a Polo/2 chassis. I didn't know these things existed! Does anyone have a list of capacitors on this chassis?

    Hi all, Just tried capping a 29E31S that didn't fire up at all. Now I've got a picture, but something is a miss. This isn't my first cap job, just my first on a 29E31S. Does anyone have an idea? Here's a quick video so you can see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PON5zpAhrFU...

    PacMania - No Sprites?

    Hey all, I pulled my PacMania board to reseat the JAMMA harness. Upon putting it back in, there are no sprites on screen. No pacman, no ghosts, no power pellets. I've taken the board out and reseated the CHR and OBJ ICs, still no luck. Any ideas?

    unreleased prototype METEORS discovered!

    imo Meteors looks way more like Meteroids than Space Force. My dad was huge on trying to reference other software, but I'll admit the board to Space Force looks like a close match. We can argue about this all day but we're not going to know the full story until we pull the board out of the...

    unreleased prototype METEORS discovered!

    Holy cow, this blows my mind. I'd love to know what happened to this cabinet. Apparently there were only around 10 machines out in the wild before the lawsuit brewed.

    unreleased prototype METEORS discovered!

    Here's a photo of the PCB inside the "prototype" machine. The "prototype" machine is supposedly the one he took to AMOA (or the equivalent back in the day) in '80 http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/188ys6pji5tvtjpg/original.jpg It's worth noting that the "prototype" cabinet looks like an...

    I've been wishing to do the same for my 6 Player XMEN cab for years! Would you mind sharing the scans when you're done so I can attempt to vector them? I've also got a Turtles in need of side art. (had to throw the guts in a Midway, the original cab was suffering from dry rot hardcore)

    Restoring metal parts

    You can pick up metal primer with a gloss enamel ~$6/can at WalMart/Lowes. Rustoleum brand has always done me good. If it helps, the order in which I restore metal bits is: Sand (or sandblast, if you have that option, much better result and quicker) Protective Coating (I parkerize metal...

    Restoring SEGA SUPER GT/SCUD RACE Deluxe Cabinets

    Hi everyone, crazy first post coming here: I recently purchased two SCUD RACE DX machines. I believe these machines were sitting outside, probably tarped, for at least a year. Cosmetically they look great, but I'm having some hardware issues. SEGA's manual(s) are a great place to start, but we...
