This game is amazing but I just suck and don't like checkpoint games. Do you? If not, download Lunar IPS and patch your Truxton2 tp024_1.bin rom. No more checkpoints! (ok ok there's still a checkpoint if you continue). Probably works with the NewVersion hack if you like that one; haven't tried...

@plasticfactory scored a Daioh and it reminded me a) how cool I think this game is and b)how much I hate that it's a checkpoint game. So if you also suck at these games, but love them anyway, you're in luck! This one byte patch makes the game checkpoint-less. When you die, instead of being...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CUswHWWNZs I have rebuilt Dodonpachi Campaign Ver. It is playable anywhere the ddonpachj rom is playable, including MAME, fpga, and even original pcb (if you're brave enough to de-solder some roms). Changes showcase: Background Palettes & Tiles Animations...

Recently I've been asked to make a couple free play patches for games @twistedsymphony wanted to run at his arcade parties. In general they allow the attract mode to run until you press a start button. Also if you abandon a game, it will return to attract mode. Save those tubes! I thought some...

I’m building a small form factor pc but this actually fits, so I’m gonna try to find one. It’s the 4090 founder edition that only best buy has. But it’s perpetually sold out, and when it is in stock, bots grab them. Just thought a wishful post here couldn’t hurt either before I spin up my own...

View: https://youtu.be/tNk4b8_t0QY Hi there. Yep, I'm talking to you. Been craving some side-scrolling Brocken shmup action, but can't handle Neo Geo CD load-times? Well guess what, I ported it to MVS just for you. @Hammy! (and I didn't even put any cakes in it) And hey, if anyone who is not...

Before I go reflowing stuff blindly here I thought I’d ask if anyone has seen / solved this condition before. A bunch of my units do this so I thought it was normal, but maybe they are all just aging and failing in a similar way. On screen transitions I’ll sometimes see brief static. It’s so...

[ALL SOLD -- thanks for helping!] Over in my other post I have a bunch of stuff that's for sale, but I've sold so much already that I'm going to just donate the rest of the proceeds from this crap to UNICEF for Ukraine. I just donated some but my company also matches my donations for another...

Now $2000 or some trade/cash combo in that neighborhood. local pickup cash&carry only for now.. not many of these on this coast and I figure we should keep what we have! I had to rebuild the plastics inside a bit, but they’re strong and hold all the pcbs in place very well now. Otherwise it...

Happy Valentine's Day! This is a game where you punch Hearts out of Cakes! If you hadn't heard, they left a hidden test program inside Twinkle Star Sprites (TSS). As a learning exercise, I expanded that program into something more playable. Now, I hope you have fun playing it! It's 1v1...

Update! V0.3 is out, file is attached New stuff: Fever Toggle Max Power Toggle Lua Hitbox Script for Fightcade More info ...also I 'finished' Cake Fighter so go find that too! Old v0.1 post: Never despair; I'm still working on Cake Fighter! During that (continuing) research I documented a...

This post by Sudden Desu (anyone know if he's a member here?) is worth a full read-through, so I won't go into the details here. What is relevant (to me!) is that it includes two Mame cheats I was interested in trying on actual hardware, one to enable Debug options, and another to turn the debug...

Edit: First release here Go play your Namco 20th Anniversary board without flipping your yoke wires! Original post in spoiler now

Anyone got a spare Namco kick harness? Came with Tekken etc. Maybe you upgraded to the JNX one and this is in your parts box now?

I have a netbooting Naomi 2 that is suffering from an odd and intermittent issue. It's connected to a raspberry pi running standard piforcetools. It's running Bios 23606c-multi.ic27 "Rev C" and a Zero PIC on the dimm. I'm used to this process: Turn it all on, Naomi 2 successfully boots to...

Who loves dead A boards?? This one at least shows me a bit of color pattern on startup, giving me hope. A boards are hard for me to troubleshoot currently because so much of the pcb is obscured by the B board. No room for my normal probes :( so I just ordered a cable kit that reorients the A...

To add to my Lucky Moron PCB Repair series, I decided to start this sub-chapter called Boot Camp. Previously I fixed things that were just sort of not-working, but now we'll really get into it where the board doesn't even boot. To add to the fun, I don't actually know what I'm doing and don't...

Lucky Moron PCB Repair Episode 4: Killing Blade PGM Cart (or: Fluffy's carts are superior) This game got swapped into a lot deal at the last minute when the seller couldn't find his promised Dynax mahjong title. Despite it's lack of worth I did receive a video of it working beforehand, and upon...

On Friday I'll be extracting my PVM 20L5 from my office in downtown crossing. Anyone been hunting one? I'm about 50/50 on selling this, but I'm curious if there's local interest. imgur.com/a/AiPM4mf pics that I had taken wayyy before lockdown, except Time Crisis 3 looks better now, that was...

I've been working with Psikyo boards a lot, and recently noticed the audio quality differed greatly between the two PS5-pcb-layout games, Gunbird 2 and Strikers 1945iii/1999. Gunbird 2 suffers from what seems like video interference. This issues has been mentioned before on AP and elsewhere, but...
