Heard from Escape Pod, they said they screwed up and sent me a CP overlay for an actual full size Galaga lol. I'd be tarred and feathered if I did that to an OG Galaga lol. So they said they are shipping out the updated one soonly, which is nice of em. I've heard bad things about Escape Pod...

Got the art in today. For the most part it looks ok, but the control panel overlay looks like it was made too big. The image in question is one I posted above. The way its set up, it looks like P1's stick would be way too close to the edge, and P2's fierce buttons would be way too close to the...

Woop woop, just got notification that my art kit has shipped and should be here Thursday. May not be able to actually work on it til the weekend or even next weekend but at least things are moving.

This is interesting to me. Years ago I bought an Astro from a guy named Jim Shewmaker out of Santa Ana California. It was several months where he kept giving me the run-around, and it got to where I could see he was selling all kinds of shit on ebay, and refused to refund my money. Then he told...

Also as an aside - with all the extra stuff in the A1U cab - that little bitch has gotten pretty heavy lol.

For sure! Its actually not that complex. So what I did for the standard speakers is solder some line-outs from under the connector on the sound board. I know that's pretty common but just in case you aren there yet, thats what I did. Spliced a 3.5mm jack to RCA out and soldered the + and - for...

Ignore the disaster that is my office. View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Tgtbt43cd8Y

I ended up trying a different computer with the GBS-Control thing and it decided to work. Strange as I literally made zero changes and followed the steps exactly as outlined again. It just ended up not being dumb and worked. Maybe my computer was the culprit. Video is still a tad wavy, but I...

Tried setting up GBS-Control but following both the installation guide from the git and RetroRGB's video only presented problems and the software just didn't work. Evidently Im not the only one with the same issue. So I just gave up on it. Unfortunately, now that I've modified the 8200 I had for...

Attempting some cable management. Still have some work to do obviously, but I was trying to make room to stick my fat head/arms in there to secure power supplies for the monitor and the audio amp. I ended up just wiring L & R speakers without a sub directly to the sound board and it doesn't...

No kits. I just installed a JAMMA harness, larger monitor, arcade PSU, etc etc. The only thing that will be original will be the shell.

Sorry for the Necrobump here, but I have a question on adding a couple of RCA cables to the sound board. I followed the CAGE sheet instructions on page 2 here, which says if you are gonna go straight from the sound board instead of the JAMMA edge, and you are foregoing the subwoofer, that you...

Well, I tried soldering some wiring to the sound board according to the CAGE sheet in the manual (but its not really in the manual? I guess?). My solder joints were solid, no bridging, nothing. There have been a few people who soldered directly to the board to get sound and I did just that, but...

Ive got a Primal Rage PCB hooked up to an LCD and until today, the video was decent. I had to remove the monitor and reinstall it but that was just messing with the mount. I went to install some speakers in the cab (there is currently only one mono speaker hooked up with sound coming from the PR...

Some minor cable management. The anchor for harness itself will probably end up being moved a bit since that wall is where the board will be placed. I still have to get the art and the new monitor mount (hence the missing bracket on the right side there). Once those actually come in I'll be...

A little progress: I wired up the JAMMA harness to power, player 1 and a single speaker just to test. I thought I had blown the monitor when using a dremel to cut out some superfluous metal on the internal casing for the LCD. A good compressed air-ing and it was good to go. Plenty of work...

Yeah I noticed that as well but at this point, I'll take it. Worst case I can just find a sticker or something down the road, or worst case I'll have another made. But after 3 places completely ghosting me, Im just happy to have SOMETHING coming in lol.

Art from Escape Pod has been ordered. I had them modify the image they have for the control panel a bit. They had start buttons, as well as the power/volume buttons, etc. Since this is a dedicated PR, I had them remove everything but the two stick holes and 8 player button holes as well as add...

Just got my Twisted Quarter harness in today. Holy shit what a difference lol. Just the weight of it is noticeable compared to what I had before.

Sorry, didnt see this reply! Yeah its about 5 feet long I think. Maybe longer, maybe 6 feet. Looks like I definitely need a new harness. Ah well, live and loin.
