Midway T-Unit and Y-Unit PCB consolidation kits

[strygo]

I was feeling too lazy to dig out my MK1 board, so I went with one for NBA Jam for now.

Since MKII is a T-Unit, will the T-Unit model kit work with it? The listing doesn't say explicitly, but I assume so?

no.

MK2 uses a unique sound board that mounts to the main PCB in a completely different way, so it needs it's own kit.

There is a separate listing for MK2; and that's why I don't list a "T-Unit" kit at all but rather an NBA Jam/MK1(T-Unit) kit.

Mortal Kombat II 8M installation instructions are now available.

The first few shipments should be arriving in people's hands soon if they haven't already. Post pictures of your results if you can. I'm always interested to see how new designs turn out once they're in people's hands.

I have mine installed on my NBA jam. I will try to take some pictures tonight. Good stuff as always!

Pushing 65hrs this week, its on my list for Saturday along with a pile of pcbs to fix lol. If anything I will do the MK1 T-Unit 1st and take pics.

I just got it and replied

I highly recommend converting it. the expansion board makes the whole stack very ugly no matter what you do.

I’ll look into it with the guide you posted, don’t have an Eprom burner myself but perhaps the one that @Sp33dFr34k has supports the correct roms

I can check, which chips do you need?

Hey if you need to do one set of PAL/ROMs for @PascalP ... Could you do an extra set for me (Paypal gift)?
I always thought the conversion was a waste of time/resources, but it really does look so much cleaner with that expansion board removed.

I don't really NEED to do it with my plexi case, but @twistedsymphony convinced me it's the way to go.

what's the cost of the conversion ? might be interested even if not needed

 

[jassin000]

might be interested even if not needed

I was thinking the hex-standoffs in the plexi could be replaced with shorter ones once that expansion board has been removed.

Bummer, I can do the roms, but not the PAL. Was already on the lookout for a better programmer, so I might get back to you on this.

For those interested I've made the 3D printed parts available for you to print yourself: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3193837

Here is my MK1 T-Unit consolidated. I went a different route with my power cable as I dont want to shorten it. Excess is zip tied and along the space on the bottom between both boards. Also used a short ribbon I had laying around from repairs, will tuck it later or just use a regular cable via Twisted's method. Kit went together very smoothly!

Kit went together very smoothly!

glad to hear it

I printed the NBA Jam kit today. All seem well, but the hole on my volume pot spacer does not line up. A bad print? I'm using a printer at my local library.
