Bought @Matan 's recapped Altered Beast + acrylic case to replace the System 16B I killed with a bad recap. It was well-packed, and everything is playing great. Thank you!

Short version My System 16B is showing a black screen after a motherboard recap. The power LEDs come on. Background Emboldened by successfully recapping a few arcade PCBs and consoles, I thought I should do a preventative recap on my System 16B before installing it in a Semload case. A few of...

tl;dr What could cause a Sega JVS IO to emit input only when a single button is pressed, and stop when two are pressed? Background & Problem I'm trying to restore JVS functionality in a New Delta 32 cab that was gutted for USB input only. The original JVS IO appears to be unobtanium, so I got a...

Bought a KI2 board from @Phil Bennett. Good price, great communication, transparent about condition, good packing. Most importantly, he gave me a heads up about needing a fan (which I didn't know about) and needing -5V for audio (which I did). I'd definitely buy from him again.

I always heard people could spot MVS fakes from looking at the PCB, but I just learned of mvs-scans.com recently and started checking mine. How exactly should I expect PCBs and ROM chips to match the reference images? Are there ever mismatches due to factory conversions? I want to know what I'm...

@Thomas sold me a couple Logitech Z-5500 speakers that I've been looking for to use in my Astro. Money sent Monday afternoon, shipped Tuesday, arrived Wednesday. It was packed well, in a cardboard box with multiple layers of padding. Even though it was a small-value transaction, Thomas took the...

I'm sharing this as a repair log in progress. Of course, if someone has helpful information or ideas, I sure won't turn you away! tl;dr: I'm trying to fix P1B4 on an IGS PGM motherboard. I found a bodge wire that had come loose and restored the connection (verified with a multimeter), but P1B4...

I was looking at my 89626A-4 DASH A-board for a different reason (Darksoft multi troubleshooting) and noticed a surface mounted component toasted to a crisp. It's attached to the OKI M6295, which I read controls non-FM sounds. I hadn't noticed any problem with non-FM sounds. Maybe they were less...

Saw your amazing work on suprawhite's CP. Are you available to make something similar for me? Already sent you a DM, but wanted to post here for visibility and posterity.

Same deal as darkstrider2's thread, but figured I should create my own. I'm selling a Jasen's Customs Capcom CPS3 Arcade PCB Case in Black/Black from his latest run. Everyone who ordered a yellow/blue case got a black/black one. Jasen, stand-up guy that he is, told us we could keep the black...

I fired up some games I know should be 3- or 4-player (AvP, Battle Circuit, D&D), but they have 2-player in-game UI and don't respond to input from players 3 & 4. Do I need different ROMs, a test menu setting, or what?

Anyone bought and tried one of these PGM 3P/4P adapters from Retro Gaming Store on AliExpress? I had made my own 3P/4P adapter in anticipation of getting my modded PGM, but mine looks like someone improvised it in prison.

Just got a hold of an Astro City from a forum member. It's generally in amazing condition thanks to his refurb work, but it's missing a few parts. The only one that matters to me is the metal PCB bracket that attaches to the floor of the cab. I might get lucky and find an OEM part, but it's hard...

Bought Twin Eagle II from @system11. They added a pic when I asked about art accessories, and let me know when there was a shipping delay (totally understandable due to the UK heat wave). It was well packed, arrived in great condition, and works as expected. Thanks!

Hi, I just got my Darksoft Multi + Everten IO + Stereo boards set up on my F3 and went through the whole OSSC video saga that apparently everyone else did too. (Spoiler: Gave up and switched to my RetroTink 2X and 5X.) I found myself getting sucked into games I'd never played before, like...

I jumped on the CPS1 Multi bandwagon and am waiting for various parts to come in, including my first CPS1 boards (a King of Dragons A/B/C from legendhk). I'd like to get a case. My questions are: 1. What compatibility considerations do I need to take into account? Thanks to twistedsymphony, I...

Hi, I'm new here. I've played games since I was a little kid, starting with my dad's Apple IIe. I started collecting console games and hardware a few years ago, and got into more obscure aftermarket hardware (ODEs, A/V mods, MiSTer) in the last couple years. I always told myself I'd never get...
