PGM single game PCB interest check

got mine in yesterday.

I'm also interested in where to get the millmax pins.

I received mine.

Gonna start ordering the parts. Any updates on those millmax pins? Would like to try and make these with the potential for a future case / shell upgrade.

Derick2k sent me a handful and I made some experiments:
IGS PGM Custom Graphics PCB testers
IGS PGM Custom Graphics PCB testers
(Obviously there may still be unexpected problems if you do a whole board like this.)

If you need them quickly you should be able to get them from major electronics distributors, though this is something where a group order may be recommended. Maybe a specialist vendor can get better prices as well.

I got my boards in...

Working on an stl for 3d printing shells for these boards. Need to make some revisions and still print the other half but I’ll share the files when I know I’ve got something that’ll work. Bottom half works ok aside from the socketed Roms bumping that oval

What if you guys make something that is slightly different from an OEM Shell ?
I mean a shell or something that will tightly hold the 2 pcb toghether and will help to easy to put and remove the game ?
(just saying :rolleyes:

)

I was thinking about making some bumper type holders that would print easier/faster and make inserting the boards the wrong way impossible. Could maybe modify my parts to realize something like that if these work

I don't think it has to be a 1 to 1 reproduction. So long as it has vents since those things get hot, and it is affordable.

Ok am I the only one who wants one of these to put that crappy fighter SVG in a cart?

I just had a look, SVG requires a lot more memory and it runs code on the ASIC, so not appropriate for my PCBs.

I tried to read much of the thread, but there are 15 pages! Is it possible to use these boards to run the 3 in one game? I really want to have Photo Y2k again. My current copy has failed and doesn't work any more.

Happy 6 in 1 is another one I would like to have

You might find this interesting...

"Possible" game support for Fluffys PCBs / ARM7 ASIC INFO.

Happy 6 in 1 won't work eigher as it needed the asic like Demon Front , svg ect do...

Just a quick note: ~20 sets left at this point in time. Once these are gone I will probably wait until next year before ordering more.

arcadeqc · Oct 21st 2019, 9:37pm

Can I get a couple more?

Smurph · Oct 21st 2019, 11:36pm

Got mine in a couple weeks ago. Thanks!!!!

bartre · Nov 3rd 2019, 10:31pm

so I got my PCBs and I just went to program Adobe roms only to five out that my programmer is dead.
Is there anyone here that can hook me up with 3 sets of programmed chips?

GC8TECH · Nov 3rd 2019, 10:37pm

BUYICNOW will program any chip you buy from them....

Hey Fluffy - If you have any boards left I would like 4 sets, thanks.

@djsheep. The Gladiator is the best game on the platform. Fight me.

Ok, so I finally got this cart and gave it two play throughs. It's definitely up there man, once I understood the combo system and the strengths of each character, I was having a ball credit feeding and changing characters until the end boss. I like the drunken master guy the best. Muchos thanks for motivating me to get it. IMO these are the 4 essential PGM carts to own (outside of the Cave conversions):

1. Demon Front
2. Martial Masters
3. DoDonPachi 2: Bee Storm
4. The Gladiator

The only cart I'm on the fence about is Oriental Legend: Super Special. I just can't seem to enjoy that game and don't see myself keeping it for much longer, I sold my Oriental Legend 2 for the same reason, and that's a way better looking game (but ridiculously long).

twistedsymphony · Nov 12th 2019, 4:26pm

is SVG Any good?

djsheep · Nov 12th 2019, 4:34pm

I've MAME'd it. It seems ok, but nowhere near as good as Martial Masters. It's closer to a BlazBlue than a Street Fighter 3 in terms of gameplay.

The cart is quite hard to find, but there's still NOS kits of the PCB floating around for a fraction of the cost the cart would set you back if you find it on the "collectors" market.

Neo-Alec · Nov 13th 2019, 2:40pm

I wish the other Brawlers on the PGM were up to the quality level of The Gladiator. It just feels newer, with better animation and more combos. It's closer to Sengoku 3, which is a minimum level for early 2000's brawlers.
