Finally got started on an actual rebuild. Installed a 27” LCD screen and laser cut my border. New light and cut on some of the ripped decals to just have it blacked out. Chihiro and GD-Rom sent off to Ken to repair. Should have a fully working game in a couple of weeks

I appreciate the reply, and yes I realize the old setup had a Naomi 1 in it, I just wondered if it would have worked in that configuration, I assumed not after research, but I got lucky to buy all the missing hardware for the game off of eBay. I have two GD Discs, both are GDX002B. So I found a...

Does anyone have a good Type 1 Chihiro for sale? I see some available from China, but rather find something stateside. Also are the security keys for Crazy Taxi High Roller documented anywhere? I have two and both have different numbers, so I’m not sure my first one is a legit one for High...

So I purchased this project from the original poster, and found this over the weekend. Anyways I wanted to post pictures now that I have safely won an auction on eBay with a complete setup and a wiring harness. I will probably use most of it, as the cabinet is missing a lot of stuff and some...

This fixed it! Thank you for pointing out the correct plug. Now I’m hoping it will fully boot

Yeah, I know the hard drives are encrypted and such, I once tried to copy them on a SSD, I read about a guy figuring out how to do it, but again, not my issue. I guess I’m looking at a Motherboard?

Okay, so I pulled my other PC, swapped the RAM, no change. Put into other machine and it starts up just fine, swapped the PSUs and still nothing, put into other machine….other PC still working. I don’t see any swollen capacitors on the MB, do you think I just have a dead Motherboard? Anything...

I originally thought that that was the header in my second picture. It has a bracket to hold it into place, and I did the same procedure on that as well, even looking online for what is generally the power button connections and cut an old connector and wires out of another PC. But still...

I have a Tank! Tank! Tank! That the PCs have been cleaned and working great for over a year. I did have some issues with this one side, but reconnecting component cables seemed to correct it. That was until the other day when that one side wasn’t sending signal. Upon further investigation I...

So I have a pair of Japanese M&S Rio Olympics and want to know what would be required to convert to English version. This is the NU1.1 Sega system. What do I need? Security Chip and Harddrive? Is it easier than that? Any guidance would be appreciated

I did connect the ground from the dance stage, with no difference. It’s weird because if that is plugged in, and the lights flash….the screen blips during the flash. I’m going to look for other places to add grounds, may pull out the control panel and see if there is something with it that is...

Yeah there is a ground from the pad and I know it’s not connected, so I will make sure to get that done, and add some to see if that fixes the flickering screen

Okay, I understand a bit more now. Knowing it’s System 573 helps, and then I found some info on what needs to be done to the pin out of the Jamma harness to make it work. I’ll go over and add some grounds just to see if that won’t help eliminate that issue of screen flickering. Any good...

So I’m new to the whole DDR setups, but I just acquired a Solo with Max2 7th mix loaded. It works fine, but I have my issues with it and want to learn about it. So the 7th mix is a two player version and it works fine, but then all your arrows are on the left side of the screen( a little...

I’ll start off by admitting I haven’t taken the gun covers off of my Ocean Hunter to see what I’m dealing with, but I understand that the feedback or recoil is made possible by a clutch motor on this particular unit. Where a Leta Go Jungle has a different motor with gear. I found a NOS clutch...
