You can buy LED strips in 5v or 12v generally, resistor will depend on the colour and how far you want to reduce the brightness My suggestion would be to buy a bag of mixed resistors and test it on the bench to determine what you’re happy with then install it As a guide I would say 100-220R is...

I have made a few changes including adding 5V and 12V outputs as suggested by @plasticfactory using 2 pin JST VH connectors KiCAD 3D render I have tested this on my own cab and boards. If you choose to build/use one of these it is as with all projects at your own risk. I am providing no...

Great work, very clean soldering Looking forward to seeing it in action!

Hi, I have been running mine for a while and haven’t heard of any issues from others, there are a few people running them now When you say your PCB is overheating, are you referring to the NGMD or the 4 slot board?

I don’t have the exact sizes as I bought a kit with a bunch of different standoffs in it but I can take some measurements of the parts I used The standoffs on the bottom are the same size as standoffs used on PC motherboards, turned around with nylon screws in the bottom to hold in place The...

VRAM error at $8000 boundary is a fast VRAM error, not the standard VRAM Usually Sony chips, 6264 slim type DIP ICs even on the 1FZ Unless you’re replacing with the exact brand/speed, replace both The tile error you’re getting is probably related to the RAM you removed/replaced. Check your...

The TMS34010 is unfortunately a common failure point - I’ve repaired several MK2 with the same issue A good source for these is MK1 bootlegs

You can absolutely convert your X-Men to SSF2X Yes you will need to replace all the ROMs - factory ROMs for graphics and sound are mask ROMs. Data is burned onto the ROMs during production PAL will also likely need replacement Even if you have all of the replacement ROMs this is not going to...

You can just mount it upside down and then the controller ports are on the bottom :)

Waiting for 15 pin connectors to arrive to do some testing on this thing, but all connections have beeped out ok so far

Ok the latest round of test boards arrived yesterday and I beeped it out this morning - no bridges remaining! I built the board and connected it to Numan Athletics to test, and I am not reading any inputs on the Player 3 side for Left, Down or Button 1 (Button 3 is also now not working after...

Yes, that board will run the decrypted set without issue as is

Prototype boards arrived today

Quick update: I have beeped out all connections and everything appears to be where it should be The bridged connection has been fixed and another round of boards is being ordered. Assuming they test ok that will be the release version and all files will be provided from there

The main issue is the edge connector which as far as I can tell was custom made for Namco and very much non existent. Those that appear are Tekken kick harnesses To make this work I found a generic one - and even that wasn’t the easiest, almost nothing exists in a 48 pin 2.54mm pitch. It then...
