Pleasure to do business with @ack My item was shipped in a nice box, packed well, and it was gotten out quickly. Great communication. I look forward to buying more if I can find the parts for a special project I've got in mind.

Yeah, what I am really hoping is, once I've got a budget again in the new year, I can make a WTB to find a bare stripped but working board for it and do all the things and get this back to the game that's on the sticker once again to have it proudly playing in my collection. I think a single...

This is the best direction to go with it; I already have eproms that should work well for the game code and also a GAL that I can reprogram too. From what I saw looking around, it is a real rarity to have this case also in this condition. I always wanted to have a larger CPS-2 collection, so...

Thanks for the replies so far. I had to clarify in the OP that I am not interested in selling this plastic shell, but rather turning it into a game again. But looking around at my options, for the first time in 12 years, is sobering. It looks like lots of acid eaten boards out there and the...

In my stuff, I found this CPS-2 top case a few weeks ago (both halves) and I remembered the story of how I got it; the original owner had to do some custom surface mount work to the board inside to save it and get it operational, but his fixed board could not fit back into the case. He told me...

I have a Marvel vs. Capcom set that had it's battery replaced in 2014 right before I bought it. I checked it last week and the changed battery is at 3.7V and has not leaked, but is overdue to get removed. I see since I have been away from the hobby, the community has made these small boards...

I am ready to replace the broken caps on my Bloxeed set that's pictured, but I do not know the values at locations C6 and C62. Can an owner assist? Online pictures are never this specific and I hate guessing. For those that like pictures of wrecked boards, hey, maybe it will make someone's day...

Just a thread to tie this up. I decided to go a separate direction here and I followed the clues MostroVeneno laid out so well with his own post: a conversion using the identical 90629b-3 ROM board I had to daimakaimura. I solved my IOB1 .jed issues and I have a partial game running while I...

Great news then, thanks. I will get to hunting around for the hack to test it on real hardware. I am focused on fixing things from my broken pile for now (so, no multi); this Laser Ghost ROM board is going to need some new caps also. Once I find the archive of files and get them burned and...

I dug out my populated ROM board for Laser Ghost. I plan on de-suiciding it by burning a new set of eproms, but I also see someone made a hack for it to use a regular 8-way joystick and buttons. Is this available to be used on real hardware? Can someone point me along wiyh some good search...

I tried to upload my picture in an external image host:

I am having trouble with my Carrier Air Wing (CAW) conversion from an empty Street Fighter II: World Warrior (SF2:WW) boardset. The good: 1. working "A" bottom logic board (sound, CPU, RAM, etc). 2. working "C" SF2:WW, with it's GAL replacement, CAPCOM security chip B-17. 3. empty "B" rom board...

Hi arcade-projects, I have always gone by 'ifkz' on most any forum I have ever belonged to, so why not continue that as I dip my toes back into the arcade scene. I was once very active starting since 2006 with my first cabs: a ruined Centipede and a saveable Xybots. Since those cabs (I've...
