Yo thanks for the update @Mitsurugi-w . I was wondering if parts were going to be an issue. Hopefully things simmer down a bit and are easier for you to deal with. Also thank you for continuing to push forward on it. Much appreciated and anticipated.

Wooooo!!! @Astro X You really helped me!! I added the cap and tried it out and the video quality looks fantastic! No visual noise at all. Thank you so much! I was worried my game might have a serious problem. My first attempt at fixing an arcade game and it went really well :D Why can't...

Hey @Astro X , Thank you very much! That's very helpful. I'll see if replacing that fixes it. I was wondering, how did you know what cap it is?

Hello everyone, Now that I'm a bit more confident in my soldering skills, big thanks to @twistedsymphony for help with that. I've decided to try repairing some of my stuff. I thought I'd start with Out Zone. When the game is running, I'm getting a lot of intermittent visual noise on the screen...

I'd like to chime in here too. While I haven't outright bought a PCB or something like that from @ShootTheCore , I have dealt with Core several times in the past to help me with my setup and sending me chips I needed flashed for some of the multis and conversions I've worked with. Core was...

Hi @dexa , sounds like you should check out my tutorial then, and if you manage to get any sample rates, feel free to let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Hello @shelcoof , if the device your using has an adjustable sample rate then you may actually want to check out the video I made then, as one of the points I attempt to make is that sample rate is not so much about razor sharp pixels, but accurate pixels. You may be missing information and not...

Here's my current list of arcade sample rates so far: Aliens 384.000 Boogie Wings 448.000 Bucky O Hare 512 (384x224) Combatribes 448.000 CPS 1 & CPS 2 512 (384x224) Crystal of Kings 455.000 Demon Front 639.500 (seems odd in multiple ways, will probably revisit) Denjin Makai...

Just wanted to give an update, that I finally put together a video for you all on how I get my sample rates. I went ahead and posted it here: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/tutorial-how-to-get-sample-rate-for-video-games-or-other-devices-via-brute-force.33606/ Good luck!

Hey everyone! I finally made a video showing the technique I use to get the sample rate of arcade games and consoles. My apologies for the shoddy video quality and delay in putting this together. I just have lots of other projects I'm always working on so time is pretty limited for me...

Sent me a totally junked PCB! What the heck? I can't believe it! Nah just kidding :P A broken PCB was exactly what I was looking for and Twisted came through 100%. Totally awesome person and I really appreciate that even though I knew it was junk ahead of time, it was still packaged very well...

I purchased a copy of Cybattler from @kuze recently and it went great. Very quick to respond to my questions. Very polite and professional. Ships with care. Easy to work with when hashing out details. I highly recommend Kuze. Thank you so much!

Woo! Hey @twistedsymphony :D That sounds good yeah. As long as it has some parts on it that I can experiment on, then that sounds great. And yeah if you have others that would be good as I would prefer to just get a couple boards from the same person to keep shipping down.

Hey everyone. I've soldered a fair bit on other types of electronics, but have very little experience with arcade boards. I'm looking to buy a couple PCBs that are basically regarded as total trash and beyond repair so that I can get some practice soldering/de-soldering since they have smaller...

@Mitsurugi-w Man, you guys are hardcore. Yeah I was just thinking about all the effort that goes into coming up with the actual multi, then the fact you have to assemble them one-by-one and shipping em out. Heck I'm not even all that knowledgeable in electronics and I can see there's a good...
