I would also like to see detailed information on all of the vs games, screenshots, differences from the NES versions, release dates, flyers, etc.
It would also be cool to be able to download and print the vs cards that you put behind the plexi.

This would be nice, but I'm hoping to limit the site to strictly the Red Tent. If you get into the Vs. games, that is a whole other database and resource that would apply to all Vs. systems. So I plan to do a page on Red Tent tech with detailed info and pictures, but that's it.

Although there isn't a site that's dedicated to just Vs. game info, it would be hard to do info for each game without overstepping on other people's databases such as John's Vs. Tech or the PC-10/Vs. site that's run by PC10builder that has a bunch of Vs. artwork and info: http://playchoice.riemen.net/vs_list.html Also, flyers can be easily found at arcadeflyers.com.

I will most likely include links to these sites in the links section.

That is awesome!!! Is that the Playchoice Vs board add-on? or did you just wire it up to a pc board?

I though i saw somewhere that there was an addon board, but never actually saw one. Would you be able to take a picture of the Vs board and add on?? In any case looks pretty great!
 
I'll have to post my info for the registry sometime soon. One thing that drives me nuts about my Red Tent is working with those Sharp Xm1801 monitors. One of them had its yoke crap out and its flyback. I've sinced tracked down a replacement monitor and I hope this one lasts. It's been recapped but I still can't get as nice a picture as the other side. Unless I'm making it harder than it is, it's also a pain to try and get the chassis apart from the tube.

I have. :) My buddy also converted his upright dualsystem to holding a PC-10 on one side. The actual conversion consists of treating the cab like it is 2 independent arcade cabs. So the Vs. wiring only runs to 1 monitor and you install all the PC-10 stuff in the cab (or underneath the cab in the case of a Red Tent) for the other monitor. My buddy also ran across a Vs. gun holster made by Nintendo specifically for the Red Tent.


On another note, who got the $200 Red Tent in Green Bay? I wanted that. :) Anyone want to make a trade for a Vs. Unisystem setup for a Red Tent setup?


(edit) I just got a PM asking how the PC-10 pcb was actually mounted in the cab in these Vs. Dualsystems. In the upright cab the PC-10 pcb is mounted on the right side (when facing the cab from behind) exactly like the Vs. pcb is mounted on the left. It's basically just a mirror of the other side. In the Red Tent, if I recall correctly, the pcb is actually mounted below the cab and there is/was a metal casing that came with the Vs/PC-10 conversion kit that would go around the pcb to protect it so it wasn't exposed. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures after work.

PC-10 conversion had a locking board cage that mounted to the bottom of the cabinet. Here is a picture of the complete conversion that I have complete with timer and Aux. power supply .

Wow, that's something else... Not sure how I feel about that setup.

Leave that harness in a box on someone's doorstep. See if the bomb squad comes.

Did you have to hack anything to put that timer in on the cab?
 
I'm glad Chad got it. Good man. I got my Excitebike set from him months ago. That is cool he got TKO Boxing (Ring King) on one side with the instruction card. Very unique.

Lilman, I have NOS Goonies and Gradius instruction cards that I could scan when I get the chance. I'll let you know when I do.
