    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    Just ordered the GBS-8200 off of Amazon, thanks for the link. The fact I received bare PCB's is a little concerning. Obviously someone opened the shells, and they may have or may have not have monkeyed with the boards. I guess a A board got lost along the way. I guess Ill find out soon enough

    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    As they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity, or more accurately the Dew point. Summers are along the Texas Gulf Coast are brutal. What killed my oscilloscope was corrosion, not heat. My Son met his wife in Portland and they lived there for a few years before relocating to Texas. She had...

    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    These boards were stored away in some guys hot garage for years, and I live on the Gulf Coast. I ruined an old CRT 50 Mhz Oscilloscope by leaving it my garage over one summer so I dont know how these boards or batteries survived. From what I've read setting up a test rig is fairly simple and Ill...

    I noticed there are several CGA / EGA / YUV / RGB To VGA Video Converters available online, and some are cheaper than others. For testing purposes wouldn't the one in the link below work fine ? I can use some momentary contact switches I have stored away for the controls and coin inputs, and Ill...

    200 dollars ? Thats more than I thought they were worth. Im not really concerned about the money, and Ill probably wind up just giving them away, but It would be nice to know that they're going to someone who will use them, play them. I almost threw these boards out. I thought they were useless...

    Yes they have eproms. I noticed one of the B boards is short two of the program eproms. Is this normal or did someone remove them ? Also, all I have are bare PCBs, no shells. Im not sure if that makes much of a difference but I did notice that the shells have a small fan mounted in the back of...

    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    They are bare PCB's, no shells. I have two separate B boards and one A board. I also have one 93661G-2 daughter board. Looks like the B boards are different revisions. I checked voltage on the batteries and one reads 3.3 volts and the other reads 3.4 volts. Im not planning on playing them, but I...

    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    Sorry, continued... and a 93661g-2. I have done a little research and I understand the B boards stack on the A boards and the 93661G is a daughter board that stacks onto one of the B boards. I also learned that the batteries ( suicide batteries ) installed on the B boards supply power to part...

    Neighbor Gave Me CapCom Boards, Now I have Questions

    Hi, I'm new here and yes, a neighbor gifted me a few CapCom Boards. He said he didn't want to throw them out and since " I was into that kind of stuff " I should take them and do whatever. Yes, I am into "that kind of stuff " and I have a test bench I use often, but its mostly for work and...
