Hello everyone, my name is Don. I'm new to arcade games in general, but I've recently picked up a few more. I've used this site several times browsing old threads to help me fix stuff and I figured it was time to make an account and donate to the site that's already helped me. My first game was purchased a couple years ago, a Namco Ridge Racer sit down. I'm 32 years old and Ridge Racer was always my favorite game at the local arcade because it had a proper shifter and 3 pedals. I bought the game with a bad monitor and did a LCD conversion, I still love playing it. I've purchased a few more since then, mostly projects, the current list is
Working:
Ridge Racer sit down
Golden Tee 2k
Trophy Hunt Bear & Moose
Skee Toss (Works perfect but I'm building an alley to convert to skee ball)
Not working:
Ridge Racer 2 (2 person sit down, boots up but no 3d rendering only text on screen)
Alpine Surfer (Boots but has DSP board error)
I'd like to fix the Alpine Surfer game if I can find someone with a DSP board from a Namco Super 22. I bought the Ridge Racer 2 mostly for the cabinet to convert to a modern side by side 2 person racing sim setup, so I'll probably have a bunch of parts from that if anyone is in need.
Nice to meet everyone!- Don
