    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    ...and also in time to source additional parts. I'm referring to the bugs of unmodified 161-in-1s (many titles don't work as they should, like Samurai Shodown). The "customer" could prepare the software part (I could learn the software part, but I would never try my hand at desoldering) or...

    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback. But it would lower the cost a bit, if I understand correctly. (Would custom PCBs or daughterboards still be needed?) For all the other titles, beyond the available space (how much would it be?) wouldn't there be any problems? I ask these questions...

    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    I have a couple of questions that will probably seem stupid for many of you, I apologize in advance: 1. Let's say that I don't want the whole Neogeo library but just some titles, as long as they work *properly* (not like the current 161-in-1s), would that make the conversion process easier...

    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    I know ArcadeTv and I believe he is among the most honest, open minded and serene people in the community: it's certainly not like him to stir up controversy. I've also come into contact with Razoola in the past, and he's always been chill. I believe that everyone can choose if/how to protect...

    Yep, I proposed it few posts ago... it would be fantastic!!! (but I don't know if it's technically possible)

    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    IMHO it would be great if all these resources were collected, cited or linked on a GitHub page, i.e. the one by @ArcadeTV, to get a complete "summary" of the entire conversion project.

    Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games

    It would be great if this project somehow merged with Razoola's proof-of-concept from several years ago:

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    I changed the buttons to Seimitsu PS-15 and I really *love* the hybrid stick! Thank you so much for your kind support! I'll take pictures when I will have the time for a bit of cable management...

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    I did it! :thumbsup: Wiring was very easy (practically solderless thanks to the microswitch change), but it was extremely difficult finding the place for the Brook PCB... really down to millimeters. I had to use screw terminals and not the J4. The overall feel is outstanding. Actually it's a...

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    Half of the work is done, now I just have to receive the shipment with the new components. On the "CN3S" board I have a doubt about the pins: Select --> PS4 "Options" Start --> PS4 "Home" L1 L2 GND ??? I was thinking of "extending" the five small cables up to the Brook board. P.S. In the...

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    Thank you so much for the valuable (and patient) advice. I also ordered the microswitches, we'll see! ;) EDIT: by the way, if I understood correctly, replacing the microswitches I should get a solderless mod because the cable kit (originally for RPi) is made up of: 9 wire of 80cm with a dupont...

    @RGB in Europe maybe they are available here? https://www.smallcab.net/micro-switch-cherry-d44x-48mm-p-909.html I'm tempted to add them to my purchase... how complicated is it to replace the joystick microswitches?

    Thank you very much. These parts are actually in my basket: Brook Fighting Board PS3/PS4+ 4x PCB adhesive holder 6x Seimitsu PS-15 30mm (yellow) Brook cables for fighting boards 2.8mm If i change the microswitches of the joystick maybe I could get a solderless mod (excluding the de-soldering...

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    Thank you so much for the tips. I have a soldering iron, but I would prefer a solderless easier/cleaner mod, if that's possible. So maybe I could keep the original joystick, removing everything else (PCBs, original buttons etc.), adding a Brook PS4 board and some SANWA or Seimitsu buttons? In...

    PS1 Namco Arcade Stick Mods

    It would be so bad? I'm not a "pro player" and actually I don't have a PS4 arcade stick. Thank you for your kind feedback.
