    JNX Spitfire - JAMMA Rapid Fire Inline Adapter

    Looks like these are long gone, but if any are still left, I could use one. Just rapid fire is all I need.

    Monitor Convergence or Perfect is the Enemy of Good

    OK! I got it fixed. After letting the monitor sit and thinking on the problem, I figured it had to be the old and brittle original convergence strips that was the problem. Looking closely and sliding around another strip, I realised that one of the old strips had totally fallen apart...

    Monitor Convergence or Perfect is the Enemy of Good

    Just the upper right corner. It's possible that one of the original strips fragmented inside, but I wasn't being harsh while i was moving the new strip around. As to bumping the yoke, I don't think I even touched it.

    Monitor Convergence or Perfect is the Enemy of Good

    I made a mistake. I don't know how big yet. I was doing a monitor convergence on the Nanao MS-2931 monitor from my Blast City, the final thing I needed to do before putting it all back together. I had made strips out of sheet plastic and bits of snap off utility knife blades, just like I had...

    Blast City Test button no function

    One player with three buttons. The 'moves card' thing is from a 'Persona' game, I think. I just realised that i wished a happy 4th of July to people, who most of which are probably no from the USA. ^^

    Blast City Test button no function

    Thanks for the PDF link. Being a collector of early 80's games, KLOV is where I hang out the most. I'm just one of those strange people that like both the golden age games and the JAMMA, silver age games. By the way. The Blast City I just got has some kind of card reader embedded in the...

    Blast City Test button no function

    You could be right Blackfish. I plugged in my ARpiCADE and the test button brings up the configure screen on it. I tried both Raiden DX and Heavy Barrel and got no test, but maybe they both use dips. I know the PCB's do have dip switches on them, I just don't know what they all do. A great...

    Blast City Test button no function

    I have tried two different PCB's, so that can't be the problem. It may be a continuity thing after all. I'm new to this and it is very hard to do without three hands, but I put one lead of my meter to the post on the switch and the other to the 15 spot on the JAMMA connector and get numbers on...

    Blast City Test button no function

    I was thinking that since the button next to it worked, the ground must be connected, but I just gave it a test and I'm getting a reading from the JAMMA grounds. By the way, thanks to both PascalP and tiff_lee.

    Blast City Test button no function

    I ran one lead of my meter to the test switch terminal and the other lead to all of the JAMMA pins and got the continuity at pin 15. So I guess I have continuity. Sorry I'm a little out of my depth on this. My arcade machine knowledge is from the early 80's 'classic' realm and the're a bit...

    Blast City Test button no function

    A few weeks ago I had a problem with my Nanao MS-2931 OSD in my Blast City. Turns out it was a wire that had been pinched and severed. Fixed that and I am now trying to fix my screen convergence and would like to throw up a grid and other test patterns but the test button doesn't do anything...

    Nanao MS-2931 monitor picture adjust won't work

    Thanks for the advice PascalP. I got out my multi meter and was looking to see how I could access the back of the OSD to check it, when I noticed the wires I thought might be from it connecting to the chassis. Up close they looked strange, and under light I can see that the wires have been...

    Nanao MS-2931 monitor picture adjust won't work

    Hi everyone, im a new member here and need some help. I just got a Sega Blast City that uses a Nanao MS-2931 monitor. This monitor uses a 3 button control for the on screen display adjustment, but the mode button does nothing, even if I hold it down. The only button that does anything is the...
