View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2b_Ax5LaAk After two years, me and an rl friend managed to get the Ghost Squad cab running on CF. I'm giving a +1 to cftools. For the best results, I suggest extracting (and decrypting) the game binary from the mame chd dump of the GD-ROM. I've...

Have you fixed this? I'm (sort of) dealing with a DariusBurst EX: AC cab but with a dead hard drive. I did a lot of google searching and couldn't find anything on a hacked/unmarried image to burn this to an SSD. Is there any hacked/unmarried drive image to restore dedicated cabs like this that...

With the game/cab having scratchy audio, I think it's safe to say the factory speakers are starting to show its age. Anyone find a good drop in replacement for these speakers yet?

Finally resolved. Been weeks since I decided to take on that cab again fortunately with success in fixing the defective side. Ended up replacing the IDE cable (original one I noticed had an exposed wire so it's likely some of them were bent and cracked). I also reflowed the IDE connector to...

It's come to my attention that I forgot to consider the IDE cable or port would be at fault. What I will do next is replace the cable and reflow the port sometime in the future (but not this weekend because working on this worn me out). Another friend of mine is having a similar load related...

Quite frankly, I did switch the dongles between the two and it didn't follow either. The fan is spinning well (since that fan itself isn't factory and has been replaced by me around a year ago). It's likely a board issue since I exhausted most other parts but the main board. If someone were to...

One of the sides on a Time Crisis 4 twin I do periodic work on has developed some strange symptoms related to failure to load content from the hard disk. These symptoms being: The main attract cutscene would freeze but the scrolling text up top would still scroll. The ingame attract sequences...

Interesting. I myself was curious about this too. I thought the game used some strange encryption in the video roms at first until a redump confirmed otherwise. @Porchy, you have any suggestions because your name was mentioned in that commit.

This made me shed a tear in happiness. I wish you luck on getting the other monitor working so we can see the intro in high definition widescreen :).

That...is not only not what I meant but the game would have failed to boot regardless if you swapped the right edge connectors (from the two viper boards). Swapping the right edge connectors meant you had the left pcb communicate with the I/O board and the right communicate with the gun board. I...

If you have tools to listen to the serial link, do so. I'm curious to know what happens if you plug the serial connector to the other gun board? Also boards in the gun should not matter but because this is a complete unit, I'd keep them plugged in.

Maybe the gun board doesn't refer to the OMZ gun board but instead that gmc22-pwb board. Check connections between the slave pcb (#2) and that gmc22 board. Edit: There should be another pcb under that board named gyb09-pwb. If that pcb isn't present, then you can't do much. The wiring diagram...

All Sega Model 3 games run at medium resolution 25khz. Most people resorted to a video converter to run these Model 3 games on LCDs (VGA or HDMI). A GBS 8200 should work fine but I do recommend you do some mods to that to slightly increase the picture quality.

Expect a pic in a few days. Fortunately, I am getting a spare network board in the future from a friend of mine. Imo single Outrun 2 cabs not having a network board to link other cabs seemed...strange. At least with Ghost Squad you couldn't network other cabs so Sega couldn't find any reason to...

So I read through all this thread on updating the type 3 firmware and it seems it requires a network board. Unfortunately I'm out of luck because of the fact the Chihiro I have doesn't have a network board (some games don't come shipped with these boards). Finding one won't be easy either. The...

Looking at the Ghost Squad cab I done work with, I'd eventually like to ditch the GD-Rom drive to load game data from an SSD. Any idea what additional prerequisites are required I am missing? The Chihiro unit itself is a type 3 with 512 mb ram but has no network board (Ghost Squad cabs don't...

I remember buying some stuff from you in the past. It's been a rocky road with some things but glad to see you here.

Their games with network play are known for any slave machine adjusting refresh rates on the fly to keep up with the master machine. It's a problem for some LCD monitors and converters. I had no issues with linking two Motocross Go pcbs, running on Namco System 23, with the craptacular GBS HDMI...

Williams and Midway are known for abusing CRTC related parameters to change the refresh rates on the fly. It's difficult to get these games running on anything but a CRT. Edit: Maybe I am incorrect but it's been a while since I seen a GBS related thread like this. Edit 2: I am going to have to...

Glad to see progress. I myself decided to look at the better quality schematics for my broken MS9. Unfortunately, mine is irrepairable unless I get a parts MS9 (looking for T901). The winding between pins 2 and 4 is shorted rendering this transformer useless. How this winding ended up shorted...
