PCB Project Ideas?

[mattosborn]

And while we're throwing out ideas/daydreaming -- and at the risk of a Matt Osborn bitchslapping since I've nagged him a bajillion times about a HSS kit -- my dream kit is an Outrun/Turbo Outrun multi with high score kit. Hell, even throw Power Drift in there while I'm dreaming.

I'm not gonna touch Outrun.... I doubt Mark will either. Maybe there's some Outrun-lovin' tech nerd out there somewhere....

Multi-vector; every vector on one pcb with selectable menu that has the ability to hide games that are not compatible with your controls...

Do what JROK did for Williams for SW/ESB

yeah I know... not quite the same... but man would it be great to integrate them boards down to a reasonable size... analog portion probably wouldn't change much...

 

[Cartouche]

I'd love a SW/ESB kit as well when they're ready.

Is a Timber/Tapper combo feasible? Maybe not enough interest...

I would like an Asteroids multi-kit. Obviously having Lunar Lander in there would be awesome, but even just Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe in a kit with 10 entry high scores would be worth some cash to me.

I don't have any problem buying or building a JTAG programmer. What device are you using?

I actualy built some JTAG programmers (parallel port) that work quite nicely with the xilinx software

I should buy a USB programmer so I'm not tied to old hardware though.

Multi-Cinematronics (Rip Off, Star Castle, Solar Quest, etc)

How about another run of Berzerk/Frenzy multi-game pcb!

+1 on the multi vector, especially if it has/fits Omega Race.

That's one of the hardest clean PCB's to come by. Even if it was OR and NOTHING else, a bunch of us would buy it, but the tempests, star trek, tac/scan, etc, would certainly make it sweeter.

 

[hisnice]

+1 on the Multi-JAMMA+, too. I have a pile of parts and plan to someday make a 4 player multi-jamma, but I've been dreading the all the issues of having some JAMMA+ in the mix.

How about a Nintendo 3-in-1 switcher for Punch-Out!, Super-Punch-Out!, and Arm Wrestling. Or a 2-in-1 switcher for Mario Bros. and Popeye. Or let me know what components I'll need and I'll try to make some.

 

[YieArKade]

How about another run of Berzerk/Frenzy multi-game pcb!

Yes! Please!

wow 6 pages so far and not a single "F*CK Mark, he takes too long" post yet?
Funny how these threads go when he's offering good stuff.

 

[Jeff F]

The Asteroids multi-game and Omega Race mutli-game(single-game) mentioned previously sounds interesting to me.

You also sparked interest in another thread when you said something about Jr. Pac-Man included in a multi-Pac... that'd be cool too.

How bout a 60 - 1 multi board, with the crap games removed and some better games added to the mix?

 

[gregatron]

I'm going with:
Jow, with the VS. HSS kit
and Phet, with the multi Q*bert jamma.

I also had a question.
How many Vs boards does the Vs. switcher switch? 2,4 ?

 

[hisnice]

Thank you for the better 60 in 1 multi suggestion. There are SOOO many great games that be great on the 60 in 1.

And IMHO, the 100 in 1 board has nothing I'd want. I'd much rather have the other games we're talking about here, such as zookeeper.

And if you want to make a new multi and not a switcher, how about:
2 player multi (snow bros, WoW, etc)

and instead of the multi-jamma+, how about xx-in-1 4 player multi (Gauntlets, NBA's Jams, Quartet, Simpsons...)

Or a multi double trackball (marble madness, boot camp, blades of steel...)

Ok, one more xx-in-1
Multi-Track and Field (hyper sports, 88 games, etc.)

 

[DPtwiz]

once you get past the 60 - 1, all the other XXXX - 1 suck balls. There's little if any classics on those boards, just modern shooters and fighting games..how bout a 60 - 1 horizontal? lots of cool games to fill that!

 

[ChompingQuarters]

How about you get to those Jamma Switchers. Another thing that would be cool is a Pepper / Venture kit... However, that probably will not happen.

 

[cadillacman]

How about a Taito multi kit? EA, JK, JH, PP, ZK, etc. Maybe do your own Asteroids Multikit. Not sure how feasible those are with the supplies you have, but they would be sweet indeed.

+1 that would be effing sweet!!!
