    MVS MV1B/1C battery replacement

    Some people have had issues after replacing the battery with the mvs chewing through cr2023's. I wonder if maybe this is a similar thing. I haven't looked into it as my mv1b doesn't appear to have this issue but I am sure someone around here has.

    MVS MV1B/1C battery replacement

    Sorry I am late to the party. I had been thinking about battery replacement for months. I have gone a different route using a super cap. Over the last few years I have had a few different caps soldered in place of the battery and finally settled on one. It appears to get me at least 3 months...

    MVS battery replacement

    Just trying to get an idea of interest. I looked at the battery replacement solutions and didn't find any totally satisfactory, so I have designed a small pcb that can be placed where the existing battery is and replaces the battery with a super cap. No need to cut anything and solves the...

    DARKSOFT CPS2 Champion Multi: Instructions and tips (new Version after 10.2020)

    Hey just got my cps2 multi and its a great product, thanks to all involved. I would not say I am an electronics expert but I know my way around a soldering iron and have designed, printed and put together plenty of amp pcbs so I am not a beginner either. The 'easier' version of this thing...

    Any guides for MV1AX Mods? (Stereo, Battery)

    I replaced the battery in my MV-1B with a super capacitor and it was basically a cut out, solder in job. Just paying attention to the positive and negative of the battery and capacitor. I had to bend up and solder a 'rail or frame' to ensure the 3 pcb holes were each filled with correct polarity...

    Australian Roll Call / Registry / Deals Thread

    I just ordered a number of Frank's atx/idc jamma extender pcbs. I have not seen them yet but they should be blue, have the solder mask notch cut out and be bevelled from the factory. If anyone wants a blank pcb set or a full extender drop me a message. I was thinking of modifying the pcb design...

    What Model of 32-1 is this?

    The 8 eproms on the left of the top board in your picture, is where I would start looking, but you would also need to know how the dips were working to select a game. However if you kept the same games in the same order, typically with CPS games you can change the language by just changing one...

    What Model of 32-1 is this?

    Like most aliexpress copies there is next to no documentation (that I can find). A few other things you should know: Voltages appear to jump around a bit on my cps1 multi, I have not done a full investigation but it looks like it's is a build quality issue. A lot of cold solder around the place...

    What Model of 32-1 is this?

    Chinese multi board from aliexpress. Typically runs at about $300 USD. Games are not chargeable easily. The board would need quite a bit of investigation to work out what everything was doing and then have some ics removed and reflashed not an easy job but not impossible. Basically they are a...

    CPS arcade cabinet design

    Oh and don't just use sanwa joysticks because 'arcade1up' says they are the original. Sanwa is ok for shmups but in my personal opinion they suck for streetfighter (and I have been playing that game for 30 years), someone else will tell you they are great for streetfighter. Yes sanwa are...

    CPS arcade cabinet design

    Here is my cab, is a home built 3/4 size replica of a us sf2 type z back cab. I found some pictures and some basic scale drawings (without measurements just showing proportions) and sized the build in inscape. I used a 3:4 19" Dell LCD (I can hear people screaming already) but I had 3 on hand...
