still far and away the biggest mistake I've ever made in life if I ever become a motivational speaker I will tell many stories why

yeah there's a lot of solder to clean up on those. my Red Tent multiple lifetimes ago didn't work at all when I got it and merely resoldering things in the power supply made it work again. and that version of me was a total novice, for posterity lol

yes, I learned the hard way that Nintendo games are extremely particular about presence of -5V. please forgive me KLOV for the atrocity of suggesting Arcadeshop Happ adapters lol

you didn't post a picture of the screen, if I don't know what the symptom actually is I can't contribute more help.

I like how this was glossed over this guy appeared in the People You May Know on Facebook a few years back and I was just like hey dude is this you? I want you to join my tech chat and he was more or less like "fuck mecha" like he's above me. my previous point here still applies, I gave...

yeah I don't know when potentiometers became so ridiculously expensive and stayed that way, but the best advice I can offer is to not buy Amazon surplus stuff cause those will die rapidly. you need something that's called "long life", that's an important bit of terminology that got lost to the...

yes, I am there. to keep myself busy the last couple years I've been working on pinball more. my cervical spine doesn't appreciate it much though. PM me your number and we can talk more that way. (sorry for Tron spinner thread sabotage)

I worked at a place with a roller rink years ago. I used roller skate oil on trackball bearings to a Powerputt game I resurrected for them and subsequently carried that intelligence to where I work now. it made the Arkanoid spinners great. lol I wonder if it's similar to sewing machine oil?

without control panel should be 26" from what I recall. the depth of those things is near 4 feet however, which is wild I had a thread on here an eternity ago about this exact topic. I think the picture links don't work so it's not worth looking it up again. the battery holder will be perfectly...

negative composite sync goes to pin 10 negative horizontal sync, as I stated previously

they're all JAMMA. depending if your Mortal Kombat is Y-unit or T-unit will determine if the Player 3/low attack harness is the same. Y-unit used a different pinout, so it's not as simple as swapping Mortal Kombat 3 over to that, you'll need to buy a different one. I haven't done so in a long...

wipe the RGB cutoff pots, use contact cleaner for better results

sounds like you have to take it apart and clean/lubricate it. I don't even remember what they looked like, I can't offer any spiritual guidance there.

running a sense power supply unloaded should just have the voltages higher I ran a medium power supply unloaded and had 5.15V, I just left it that way. it probably balances out to close to 5.0V to the chips with the game connected.

this is awesome (y) hopefully you can pilot that spaceship and save humans better than I ever could

mechanically or it's not registering well? the spinner on the game at work a few years back went totally on the fritz, I don't remember if it didn't work at all or if it was just rough like you describe, but the header pins for the plug that connects to it were in dire need of resoldering

you'll more than likely lose the sync signal through conversion, so that's probably not going to work. I learned this the hard way trying to stream NES games and Duck Hunt wouldn't work with my HDMI converers. also it's a PC-based game, it's a direct cable connection from VGA out to the...

ah, yes, another case of not knowing how to crimp molex to they just soldered the wire into the IDC? the wire is in the wrong spot in the 3 pin plug, but the 3 pin plug is positioned right on the signal header to where the negative composite sync wire is on pin 10 if that didn't have connection...

I asked this in one of the other 8 threads and I don't remember getting a proper answer if I didn't wash my hands in one of those, I am now

I always wanted to talk to you, I think it's cool that you're posting here again. your site has been a tremendous asset to me.
