After months and months of trying to get a dedicated Qix working I finally pulled it off last night - That was a great way to end 2010 for me with my games. I have been trying to fix it for about 6-8 months - 3 complete games, a total of 6 or 7 board sets and I finally bring it to life. I guess I am going to have some extra board sets to sell and I finally got a good set so I can test the other boards and see which ones really work. All I know is that I am happy I finally one. Have a happy New Year - PEACE Bart

Good job. I had a Qix working for 1 week, and the boardset went out. 2 boardsets later, still no working Qix. 1 Taito switcher later, still not working. I had to sell the boardsets as non-working and sell off the cabinet.

Touchy, touchy game.
 
Oh yeah

Congrats man.. I've got about 7 complete Qix sets and a few zookeeper ones.. Took me a while to get my zookeeper working.. It's usually the CPU pcb that's broken :(

Anyone have a non hacked Qix harness they'd like to sell? As I've accumulated so many Qix parts (even a minty Qix cab) in my search to complete my Zookeeper, I should build a qix too. Just need a harness and marquee!
 
Yup the CPU boards that I have tested are all toast - the one I just fixed had a bunch of bad rams or rams with broken legs - after changing them I still had a glitch, I fixed it by replacing the SN74LS157N in U6 on the CPU and the game came to life - I played for a while last night it was amazing and it sounds GREAT!!!!!! Maybe I should try for a Zoo Keeper now so I can start up another painful quest for the working Board Set - Thanks to anyone and everyone that tried to help me bring this to life!!!!
