Nice work dude. That cabinet is amazing - I've not seen any modern accounts of them, only promo material. Hope you get it running again!

Super cool stuff man! I posted a while back about stepper driven afterburner, as seen on this video: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vuh6hzreDA&t=3s My deluxe machine is a good candidate for this since I'm missing a motor and they're really hard to come by. Maybe it's time to...

It's becoming abundantly clear I am extremely out of my depth here for writing mame drivers to hook and output the motor functions. Stefan from the "Tinkering on Steroids" video below has been chatting with my via email a bit, providing some clues into how I might get this working. The...

According to Ken someone in the past successfully decapped that chip AND remade it in a non-fatal form. They did not share with the rest of the class though. I don't have a source on that story but point being, that chip can be remade.

It's the sprite generator package that's failing, PGA 315-5211A

There's one custom chip that prone to failure, according to Ken at irepairsega.com (he has a stockpile of sys x boards waiting on donor chips) every sys x board is destined to fail. Genuinely curious here so don't take it the wrong way - what's wrong with the super scaler games in MAME?

I messages with Marty of Smarty Pi a little already. He's got no near-term plans for integrating Ab Dlx.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I'm familiar with input hardware and Mamehooker - getting the game to run on PC using the original monitor and hooked output to the lights in the cabinet (start and warning/lock on) would be a breeze. It's the motor part that will be complicated for me. I know...

New here, found this forum while searching for sys x pinouts so thanks for those. I picked up an After Burner Deluxe to restore and it needs (besides everything!) a working sys x board. I'd thought about MAME-ing it for a temporary and future-proof solution. So far I've determined that the...

Houston represent! Nice cabs man.
