I leveled up the soldering ability last week. Over the last 6months, I began having a slight vertical collapse issue on my Makvision Tri-sync M3129DB1-72. It was relatively new (to me) but sat in the box most of its life (box date: 6/6/2016) along with a 2nd still in storage. The first...

PM'd you on the Taito F3.

Recently did this & replaced the cr2032 on both my machines. Finally have the ability to just turn it on and not have to do 10 steps to play. Thanks!

For InitialD 1-3 w/YACardEmu, you need to run 2 separate instances (on separate ports - I use 8080/8081) of it to use as a multi-cab version. You'll obviously need 2 separate Naomi2->Serial->USB adapters and then link em to whatever's running it (Pi). This should work the same w/an NFC card...

I experienced this error a few times while experimenting with my available ID3 versions -- Export ID3, North American ID3 (should be the same as export) & Japan ID3. For some reason the ID3 chip that I had would boot NA ID3, but not export ID3. It should resolve your issues as long as you get...

No worries on response time - as indicated by the thread length, it's been a learning process. I had no idea what whatdogging was when I originally posted :D The original repair has a broken trace+wire to pin 22 (A5), missing pad on 27 (N.C.) & missing pad on 39 (I/O15). Given 38 is also...

I was showing somebody the Taito F3 motherboard w/o cartridge as seen in the above video and had a nice ray of sunlight shine in from the window .... shining on an obvious repair I had missed. I had looked over the board before for any issues previously but IC8 (Sanyo LC321664AM-80) appears to...

This issue returned recently & did similar troubleshooting to previous w/hit or miss success. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Most recently, it doesn't work at all. I realized after some troubleshooting if I left it running for long enough (1.5-2min) it would load in to the options...

I started working on a pair of NA ID3's last year. Super fun to play but experienced similar issues to yours. IMO, the units arriving non-working is acceptable if the CRT's are intact & Naomi's will boot up without any issues (GD-rom aside) given you can netboot them. #1 I think is the...

Figured I'd chuck it in to a transistor reader & took them off the board. Both appear to just be a wire pass-through w/a ceramic bead. There's a little marker on the board where they're designed to align. There's also a couple on some of the mosfets & they're blue on the other board. Not...

I've recapped a couple of these PSU's now & I noticed something making noise when I lifted it after cleaning it up. The green component on AB1 looks to slide back & forth on the lead. All the others (AB2/AB1 on other boards) appear to be fixed. I'm not sure if this is of any concern but...

Will be grabbing one too. My Ultra simms are still sitting in the box cause I only wanted to have to program them once :whistling:

I picked up an ID3-turned-Sega GT cab over the fall & will be looking to sell some of these. Not sure it'd be worth shipping from Canada, but may be able to ship from the US depending on how fast you're looking to get them. Wheel assembly, shifter, seat rail (maybe 2?). Have bezels & an...

eugh .. had a weird issue w/my blast cabinet and the multi but it looks like it was caused just by the pins getting old and dusty while the cab was out of commission. Fixed via toothbrush & alcohol.

I've been following some of the troubleshooting on this thread in an attempt to get one (or both) of my readers working. Someone had previously bridged the ICP1 fuse on one of mine & fried the MB3863. I mapped the traces that were damaged & going to try replacing it and run a wire through to...
