Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. The screen is fixed now: I just have one more question. The photo above is taken with the idc/ribbon cable the kit came with, this is very short. Prior to my screen replacement coming in, I wired a new one that was 6 feet long. I...

But the multi is working, so is this lcd...barely. If I hold it at just the right angle, I can read it. Believe me, I was just as surprised at this. It seriously appears that the only thing that didn’t survive the ordeal in-tact appears to be this little screen and my A-board.

I assume something like this? https://www.buydisplay.com/i2c-16x2-oled-serial-character-display-module-screen-yellow-on-black

Sorry to necro a thread, but while we are on this topic, my multi went through something traumatic. Something shorted and killed my A-board, and my monitor was damaged. I finally fixed my monitor...3years later, replaced my A-board, and everything appears to be in working order...with one...

Count me in as well.

Emuchrist Wow, that’s a blast from the past.

I will take one.

Heh - I'm hanging tight waiting on this too, but hey - low-key hype.

Add me to this DIY waitlist. :) Already have a multi, and was trying to get the controls wired myself. Would much rather go this route.

Looks like TCRF doesn't have an article for XvSF, but they have one for MSHvSF, and coincidentally, there is nearly identical unused text in that game: https://tcrf.net/Marvel_Super_Heroes_vs._Street_Fighter_(Arcade)

I was too slow to get a picture of it, but decided to play a quick game this morning, and at the game over countdown, at the bottom of the screen it said two things in succession: "Get in attacking range immediately." Then with about 5 seconds left it switched to: "X-Men vs Street Fighter...

Actually, I have an old ArcadeVGA AGP card here. May have to fire that up. It is odd - the cross hatch converges well over most of the screen, but one area the green is offset upward about a line. Very bizarre.

The purity and color convergence on my monitor need help, and I have been trying to sort it out using the dot cross hatch screen - not good enough. I really need a blank white screen to fix up the purity and then I can move on to convergence. I don't suppose any of these games have what I need?

Was kinda hoping there might be something like JTAG points, TTL serial or something that I could read the data without resorting to kludges like trying to "read" the state of the segmented display. You're right, I planned on using a raspberry pi to both drive the marquee display and any logic...

I have a big blue dynamo and have had the idea of finding someone unloading an older widescreen display, and install that where the marquee would normally be. Then if I could detect which ROM is resident, display the correct marquee image, and maybe even somehow handle button mapping, or at...
