Decided to get this DECO cassette off the floor and out of my way last night.

She cleaned up 10x better than I expected, the cage was filthy but as I've found with many cage games, the pcbs are pretty much flawless.

Built one ugly-whore of a home brew jamma adapter to get her booting.

Now I need to find my multi that I put in my "safe spot" (not my prison wallet before anyone chimes in) since it was in my way on my desk for weeks which is now MIA.

In digging around a bit last night I see there is an update to the menu and possibly added THE TOWER to the romset, was wondering if anyone knew if there is a downloadable update somewhere.

Looks like a super cool system with a stack of games avail. Should be fun to poke at it once finished.

I also plan on modeling a 3D printable case for the multi that will hang off the cage like the original security dongle once completed and assembled.
 
yar, did you buy the jamma pcb from your pcb-buddy?

Wrong adapter.
I have that one also. It's for dedicated games not deco cassette. Website description covers it correctly but title is misleading.

He changed the name of that adapter in production as it was so misleading.

There is no deco cassette adapter from pcbjunkie. But I did use one of his fingerboards to make this ugly pig myself.
 
Doesn't look like new code is officially released.

I would be down for a 3d printed gizmo for the multi.
 
Found my secret hiding spot, while I was there, I found a mint set of Joust Roms too!
Will get this measured up for 3D printed case and installed tonight.

Anyone have a line on latest Romset to burn for this guy?
@Mitsurugi-w hoping you may have something?

Can you post a pic of your PCB? the images Ive found in the past are different than the one I got. Wondering if footprint for PCB, holes and IDC connector are the same across all versions.

Here is a pic of mine.
So now you need to show me yours :giggle::giggle:

she's alive!

Working on getting the latest version of software / menu next.
Will model the case and print the decals after that.

RTM v1 pretty solid
Will make lid next with IDC access.

Note, these are the clips of original security dongle. With M3 screws holding them on, it's perfectly solid, no slop, clips right into place and fits perfectly on cage rail.

Also note, most recent romset for this is actually v15 and includes the undumped game called "The Tower" for all you crazy climber fans. It sure looks "similar" to me.

This is the second ugliest Jamma Adapter I have made. Super Pac I made is still the worst.

Made breakout board for 50p IDC and got to start testing games on the V15 Romset, so far, pretty cool for sure!!

Give me a +1 like for this ugly bitch

That green one looks like it's the same size and layout as blue one.

I finished the final revision of the case on Friday before I headed down to meet @ELutz and @mhcapps this weekend. I'll get one up on the printer, assembled and post pics ASAP. @jacklick do I need to print one for you or do you have 3D printer access?
 
I made the final-FINAL revision today, it is on the printer.
Removed unneeded hole, added text, vent holes and vent slots.
Once I fit it up and test, I will post pics.
