Adding Star Trek Voyager to my Police Trainer 2 Cabinet
Finding a Bargain
Every summer a large community within my town holds a massive yard sale. Over 100 homes participate and it's fun to drive block after block looking for treasures. This last time, as we were driving past some homes, my daughter called out "Dad, a gun game!" We park, walk up to take a closer look, and we see that it's a Police Trainer 2 cabinet with a sign taped to the monitor that says $50. The owner assured me it worked. I quickly handed over the cash, beating out a couple of other potential customers.
When we got home I did a quick inspection and fired it up. My kids had a blast playing it the rest of the day. Some weeks later the display became distorted and we lost the image altogether. A cap kit and solder reflow later, the image was back and we haven't had a problem since.
Upgrading the Police Trainer 2 Cabinet
I had been thinking of ways to upgrade the cabinet and there were several things I wanted to do:
(1) Be able to play Star Trek Voyager, which shared similar hardware
(2) I wanted to replace the 14 year old hard drives with SD cards
(3) Be able to play either game at the flip of a switch
(4) Add rotating police lights to the top of the cabinet
