    cv1000-to-wav released

    Small tool to extract audio from CV1000 games to .wav files. https://github.com/alamone/cv1000-to-wav/ CV1000 audio uses AMM ("AMusement Music compression"), looks to be a Yamaha proprietary format based on MPEG Layer 2.5, which supports 16000Hz (used by CV1000) and 32000Hz encoding. This is...

    I've never plugged in a JAMMA harness backwards...

    I did this to a bootleg Strikers 1999. It fried one of the 74LS245 chips for inputs. I replaced it with a socket and put a new 74LS245 and it works fine now. I don't care too much about this board since it's a boot, it's my "test pcb" so to speak, when I want to test whether a cab or supergun...

    Do you use a scaler(Tink4K, OSSC, etc) to play your arcade games? (survey)

    Been using scalers since forever... back in the old days you would use something like a XRGB with a VGA (31KHz) monitor, as VGA CRTs were super commonplace for PCs, but nowadays it's more to use them with LCDs / TVs. I still use them for testing and capture / streaming, but if I want to play...

    FS Puzzle Bobble 3

    Just curious, did you happen to use any of my scripts for that, or did you manually fix it with hex editing?

    Gradius III Display Widgets Mod Released

    It's possible, but might be a bit of work since it looks like continue feature is not natively programmed in. If you want to practice, the easiest way is probably to just do a level skip. The level skip sets your lives to 0x90 or 144 lives, which is why the sample screenshot above says 99 (I...

    Gradius III Display Widgets Mod Released

    Hi everyone, temporarily back from the dead. I've developed a mod for Gradius III (JP) that provides the following: - A numeric lives counter, so you actually know how many lives you have (normally, the game just shows a modulo of your lives to fit on limited screen space) - Display current...

    FS PCBs: G.I. Joe, more soon

    Basically, look at the MAME romset of old and NV, look at what's different, then burn double size ROMs for each, containing old version binary first then new version binary. You'll need to write to EEPROMS that are double size of their originals. Then wire a switch, wherein the input is tied...

    FS PCBs: G.I. Joe, more soon

    Old version best version imo... but if you want to convert it to NV it's just a simple romswap. Or you can make a dual cart like I did... View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r6q4H5tIa2Q

    Espgaluda 2 (CV1000) repair of bad U2 NAND using JTAG

    Update - I applied the fix to the PCB and it appears to have been fixed, the glitches that used to happen don't appear. Here's an example of the commands that would be applied to write the NAND blocks. In my example I had to remove the bad block check from buffi's tool since the PCB had bad...

    Espgaluda 2 (CV1000) repair of bad U2 NAND using JTAG

    I wrote a Python script "u2_compare.py" to identify bad U2 assets from a U2 dump of a faulty PCB by comparing to a known good U2 dump, such as a MAME ROM set, relocate the bad assets to free NAND blocks, and generate replacement NAND blocks for writing to the PCB via JTAG using buffi's tools...
