[Off-Topic / Secret Santa 2016]

So much win, thank you to my SS! You did amazing! My SS knows me all too well, I never said it but I've always wanted a Rasberry Pi! And happy to add these games to my collection! And a ton of bonuses too!

[General Gaming / STREET FIGHTER II - 25 YEARS! (Anniversary)]

Little progress report - fixed marquee light, wired up an adapter for quick kick harness swaps, replaced power supply, cleaned the whole system up and fixed a bunch wiring issues. This started out as a non working system. Now I'm playing SF2 and a ton of CPS2 games in this!  The marquee graphics need to be replaced now.

Oh and I bought SF V collectors edition, the statue rocks but story mode sucks. Oh well old school street fighter is keeping me more entertained.

bump, if you got Mario Maker check this level out.

[General Gaming / Re: STREET FIGHTER II - 25 YEARS! (Anniversary)]

It needs some work but picked this up recently.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Turbografx-16 & PC-Engine Reproduction Hucards Now for Sale!!!!]

Yikes. Well I bought a Magical Chase. I'm happy with it. I didn't really like the case until I saw it. I'm so stupid....I thought the cases were PSP size. Lol they are tiny but pretty cool and fit in with jewel case size.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: UperGrafx PC Engine 720p DVI Widget]

That looks like the same project box i used for my RGB box. Just painted black. The underside matches up almost exact (cant see it here).

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Crack house Turbografx 16]

An RF repair in the early 90s? While the casing is rough shape the fact he repaired it back when i barely knew what a solder iron was is impressive.

Steve does this look familiar?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Crack house TurboGrafx-16]

I found this yesterday from a small game shop after asking if they had any Turbografx. I've never seen a TG16 in such bad shape. Do you think it will work?

They drilled out the bottom screws and also dremeled the area near the RF box? 

The PCB doesn't look too bad, I cleaned it up and removed the RF box (it looked like they damaged the RF box when dremeling and then attempted to repair RF box). I'm guessing this happened a long time ago if they bothered doing that.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Supergrafx won't boot up]

Ok so this guy?

Remove the pencil before reassembly. 

Why? It's a rare gold one!!!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Supergrafx won't boot up]

Ok so this guy?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Supergrafx won't boot up]

The post near the green switch?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Supergrafx won't boot up]

Update - FIXED

Was a bad trace (corroded) coming off pin 79 of a HU6270 (the chip closest to power switch). Just jumpered and all good now.

OK I recently posted how i obtained a Supergrafx unit. I bought it knowing it was a repair unit but I was hoping just a bad fuse. Doesn't seem to be the case. The fuse is fine, I just tested the voltage regulator and it's getting 9.5v in and outputting 4.99 on the out pin.

I replaced the 470uf cap that looked like it was going bad, cleaned up the board and everything visually looks ok no cracks. The shielding on the bottom did have blobs of solder that disconnected and I resoldered those. When I power on I get white screen then it goes all black. So appears to boot but nothing happens. Any tips on common issues ? I'm a sucker for repair systems. ;-)

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Avenue 6 mod - 3 Button mode]

Sorry for this taking so long. I opened up the controller and well I had to try and figure out what I did. Sometimes I just mod and just go for it, and when I don't take notes I have to figure out how I did the work. lol

I did another mod to this controller so there are ALOT of wires inside so a picture of the mod might not be helpful. Instead I did this diagram.



That is pin 2 on the IC used.

Now disclaimer, this is the best estimate on what I did based on what I can see. Make sure you test with ohmeter first.  I didn't show where I got select / start from but I pulled it from the other 74HC157. I may have to work on this controller in the future when I will try and add those pinouts. But basically if you are doing this work then you can use an ohmeter and figure out where they go. Essentially you have a 2nd SPDT that swithces between Run / Select. There isn't trace cut needed on those ones.

[General Gaming / Re: Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build]

You need to cut off a leg on the cover to fit.

[General Gaming / Re: Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build]

Here is a snap of my Darksoft multi board, ordered this at the beginning of summer and now finally got it!

Special Criminal Investigation

• MAP BUTTON III TO: SELECT
• Function of (Select): Turboboost

• SCREENSHOTS:

Antlantean / Santalantean

• MAP BUTTON III TO: RUN
• Function of RUN: Emergency Warp
• COMMENTS/ADVICE: This is a great 3 button game. No surprise 3 button pad was supported. Helps prevent Atlantis from being doomed / Christmas being ruined
• SCREENSHOTS: ???

I LOVE THE AVE. 3 PAD.

yeah!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Three-Button-Friendly Games (TBFG FAQ)]

I know the Avenue 6 gets alot of criticism, but any interest? I have a new mod for the Avenue 6. 

[General Gaming / Re: Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build]

Almost complete, video of this coming soon.

[General Gaming / Re: Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build]

Made some progress, metal case takes a while to work on lol

All the jacks and plugs are cutout, just need to wire everything up now.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: My Turbo Everdrive Deluxe ver]

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / My Turbo Everdrive Deluxe ver]

Pretty happy with how this came out

[General Gaming / Can you identify this cab]

i don't believe this is an original Neo Geo cab. It has a MV-1 which has the regular Jamma standard so I think someone converted to Neo Geo. any guesses on what it used to be?

[General Gaming / Re: Next project]

OK update pic, jamma slot installed, plexi installed on front of case. Power supply is in there and secure, and added a power light for the front.

Goal is something that looks like a component found in your entertainment center and also can rest the arcade PCB on top (I will have a non conductive surface on the top).

[General Gaming / Next project: Duo_R's Supergun build]

Ok I was so close to purchasing a Stryder cab but the seller backed out.

Too bad because I need a horizontal cab for all the arcade PCBs I own.


So decided to start a project in the meantime:

[General Gaming / Re: picked up some Arcade PCBs]

OK the PCBs are original.


Also a progress picture of the cabinet




added:

New plexiglass
New marquee artwork
Painted some trim
Replaced laminate in top
Flush mount bolts for control panel
replaced old joystick and hardware with new parts
Fixed coin door lock
Installed 2 coin mech


Pending:

Swap PC power supply with Arcade power supply
2nd player joystick
Twin Cobra bezel
replace marquee light with LED lighting
Adjust colors on monitor

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / New Turbo Everdrive Label]

Here is my latest label designed after SSS. The case was a design by Buffalo.


I also have a case to hold this with the same theme design. If you saw my last Turbo Everdrive case it's the same idea but I wanted something with a PC Engine theme to it.

[General Gaming / Re: Project: CMVS 2 Slot]

Well took a long break from this, it was pretty much done but I upgraded the video encoder to a Neobitz and did a few final touches. It's almost done.




Huge thanks to Xian Xi from Jamma Nation X, could not have done this without his help!

and thanks to cjameslv for reminding me that I had a few logos / items missing. I borrowed your "CD GAME" logo as I couldn't find the one I originally used (mine wasn't very clean).

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Custom YS I & II and Street Fighter (Fighting Street) Jewel case inserts]

Here is the YS image, I want to redo it now as there are some things that aren't very good on this one.  =)

[Buy/Sell/Trade / for sale: Dungeon Explorer II JP]

Got one for sale here. Throwing in a booklet (I think I bought from Sparky) if you want to display the US cover. It just has the story on the inside (not an original US manual).

Game has a few superficial scratches but plays flawless. Shoot me a PM with offer.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Best PC Engine / Turbografx controller: The Shuttle Controller]

seriously, this thing kicks ass. My Duo Pad controllers are pretty worn out, but really don't feel as comfortable to hold as the shuttle.



My favorite controller for the system, anyone else have another favorite?

[General Gaming / Re: Project: CMVS 2 Slot]

ok, I went with red. Please don't tell me to paint it blue, or black.....etc. It's done! =)

Here it was prior to being powdercoated:



and then professionally powdercoated:

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: The Sega Genesis red "Do Not Remove" cover]

you know the red cover that covers the expansion bay? I need that, can anyone sell to me for a couple bucks?

[General Gaming / Re: Project: CMVS 2 Slot]

Yes it has been fun, I can now see why people charge so much for CMVS systems. Here is the latest art concept:

CMVS systems are always fun, still need to put the finishing touches on my 1FZ model.
and somewhere around here i've got a MV-1B that i need to consolize, i've already got the stuff to do it.....

[General Gaming / Re: Project: CMVS 2 Slot]

Sanding the cover to prepare for paint tomorrow, got rid of the rust spots

latest concept

[General Gaming / Re: Project: CMVS 2 Slot]

Ok time to make a decision on color, let me know what you guys think.

[General Gaming / Re: My next project]

ok - this project was on hold for a while, but it is officially moving forward next week. Everything works, the holes have been drilled out for all the jacks and the cover should go in the shop this week for powdercoating.

Here are some before pictures, I am leaning towards painting it Blue, but also thinking Red. Note - the Plexi still has a protection sheet on it still.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone! Thanks to my SS for the awesome gift, and also to the bonus secret Santa! 

Also ROFLMAO - I meant to put in a little card with a barcode that when you scanned you got this image (to give away the SS identity). I didn't have a chance to do that but here is the picture anyway. =)

/yba3847b9de915df54167cf.jpg

HUGE THANKS go out to Duo_R for his very generous Secret Santa gifts.  I was floored when I opened the presents this morning.  I've been playing them quite a bit today.   And there's not much left of the sweets (though I started early on them)!

Thanks again!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: Favorite/best RGB amp?]

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine games in 3DS cases]

TG16 template based on Phase's design (8 poly disc) to work with 3DS cases

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PC Engine games in 3DS cases]

Ok here it goes. I tried out that new Turbografx template with the 8 disc DVD CASES. I wanted to try something different for PCE. After some different ideas I tried 3DS cases. Turns out these fit in perfect with my collection no modding the case for hucards, holds instruction card or just the game no problem.

Note:
The PC Engine template was created based off original PCE designs with some modifications. The TG16 template was used from Phase (EktoPhase's) fantastic 8 Poly design - just applied to the 3DS template:

https://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=5101.0

 And the size better matches jewel cases. See for yourself. Between 3DS, DS cases and the 8 disc DVD case, the 3DS case is the thinnest.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Wanted: Turbo Express or PC Engine GT logo]

Sweet! I may give it a shot tonight but if I can't I will see what you got. Do you already have one made?

No, but I can make one for ya tomorrow if nobody else steps up.  Guaranteed to be the best on the intarwebs or your money back.

You guessed it!

Is this for your newly modded 3.5" LCD TE:)

I totally appreciate that, but need a higher res for printing. That's the best I could find on the internet so far. Hopefully we can get a hi-res version for future use.

These might not be hi-res enough but I figured I'd share them anyways.

Some snaps of a work in progress of my NES

Fami Disc expansion sound mod
Stereo mod - with dual pot adjustments
Reset port - used with custom NES advantage (has reset button)
Blue LED

The reset mod is nice to use with Everdrive. The turbobs spoiled me with the soft reset from the controller. Now I have a button on the NES advantage that can reset the system and I don't have to leave the couch.
