Ah I know Taipei reasonably well. In fact I'm currently in the area on vacation. I'm pretty sure the place you're talking about is HYPER GAMER in the eslite building, which sadly just closed last month according to their Facebook page. In Xinmen there's also Tom's World in the Wan Nian building...

Very nice. What part of Taiwan are you in? I usually visit Taipei about once a year, and I sadly don't see that many good retro games and arcade stuff there anymore.

Mine is also a 600x400mm bed with a 50w laser tube, but it's a no name brand of unknown origin. I can't complain too much since I got it for free from a friend. It's in a messy state since I started tinkering a bit, then basically put my life on hold for nearly ~1.5 years or so for career...

https://omtechlaser.com/products/80w-filter-fume-extractor-lsp-xf18-us I use one of these types of fume extractors that I set on the highest fan setting, and my (admittedly cheapo Chineseum) CO2 laser has an exhaust port with fan that I directly connect the extractor to with a TPU gasket that I...

I can't emphasize that issue enough which was why I said I wouldn't use the laser module indoors (or at all in this specific case). My CO2 laser has a dedicated powered filter, and a external box fan blowing out with my garage fully open when I cut, and some acrylics still make my eyes water if...

Too early to really say, but my initial reaction to just the hardware is that I like the dual nozzle addition, and I think the laser is not very useful. The dual nozzle combined with filament switching is an interesting middle ground between a multi toolhead printer and a single nozzle filament...

The two things I would try would be an impact screwdriver (not drill, the kinda that you use a hammer with, found for cheap in places like Harbor Freight), or the Engineer PZ-60, which are long nose pliers that still has serrated teeth on the tip for grip, but is smaller for better clearance in...

The Astro is likely the easiest while the Blast is the most difficult. I'm not sure about the Super Neo 29 although I can ask a friend about it. I can't image it to be much easier than the Astro though. The Astro has a ton of space to work with after you get the top/bezel off, which it isn't...

Yeah if you're using a modern display without a scaler that can accept uncommon signals, that is more than likely the problem, especially since you can get other boards to work. Assuming the NBA Jam itself didn't some how break since you last saw it working of course. The OSSC almost certainly...

Another thing to consider: What monitor are you connecting to? Midway boards run at a unusual refresh rate (53hz), which will mess with a lot of modern displays. If you're going from something like SCART to OSSC to LCD, this would likely not work due to the refresh rate. You would need a scaler...

When you say minigun I assume you were using the open source minigun project by frank_fjs https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/minigun-supergun-an-open-source-supergun.9408/ I'm not familiar with with the shogun, but it should work more or less the same. The power supply you're using isn't...

161-1 V3 carts can be modified and reprogrammed, which basically results in the removal of all the junk bootleg titles, and the addition of most of the missing games in the Neo Geo library (there are still a couple games that won't play correctly). A lot of the bugs that plague the 161-1...

Neo Geo generally follows the JAMMA standard (except for sound). The Minigun should work with a NBA JAM pcb just fine. The only incompatibility I can think of is that Midway boards tend to use -5V for sound, so if you PSU you're using with the Minigun doesn't have -5V, you would lose sound for...

You have a AV7000. japan-arcade offers a harness for a very high price https://www.ebay.com/itm/175422345711 There's someone on YAJ that also offers a variety of different harnesses as well. You can use services like Buyee or Dejapan to purchase auction listings. It's not that difficult when...

Apologies if this goes off topic from the thread a bit, but is there any significant difference between the MS2933 and other chassis found in Blasts? I have one in mine that I had recapped, but the tube is a bit tired so I feel like I never really experienced that monitor in good condition.
