I've been trying to help a fraternity there get their Virtua Fighter up and running via email. Its pretty time consuming considering its something that could probably be fixed or at least diagnosed in ten minutes.

The said they have no power at all. Nothing happens when they turn the game on.

I've told them to check the fuses and asked if they can hear the game play but quite frankly they have no idea what they are doing. They have a tight budget so it would probably be more of a good samaritan mission. If you can help let me know and I'll pass his email on to you and you can work it out.

It would be great if a member closer than I could help them. This machine is kind of like an heirloom to their frat. Oh, BTW, they would need a new joystick as one of theirs "fell apart".
 
I'm in Illinois (in Brookfield), not sure when I'll be out that way, but I'd be happy to walk them through getting it up and running. Is there any one I can contact direct about it?

Thanks

I got both my B.S. and M.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and I go down there regularly. I live in the Chicago area and I already have plans to go down to Champaign for a few basketball games this season.

I could easily check on it while I'm down there. If they'd buy me a Papa Del's pizza and maybe invite me over to a house party for a few brews, that'd work.

Drop me a PM if you'd like.

GO ILLINI!

Thanks,

Cool. I'll get some contact information and hopefully get it to you guys soon. Our email communication has been sporadic. Mostly my fault. I stay busy... Thanks guys!
 
I picked up a Virtua Fighter last month. haven't been able to play the damn thing though, can't get the monitor that came with it to sync. (JROK makes an AWESOME sync cleaner board, might have to buy one of those) but anyway...

mine came with 2 power supplies of the same make (one works, one's dead I'm told), the kind that have the 3 wire AC connector. the monitor plugs into that. if you guys need pics of how mine's hooked up I can do that, but maybe not until friday (we're closed Mon-Thurs now)

PM me though, I might forget about this thread. lol
