Hi folks!

My name is Adam and I come to you from Raleigh, North Carolina.

I'm fairly new to the arcade hobby/scene, but i'm really excited to get to know y'all and learn lots about fixing things and keeping my two Blast Cities running in tip-top shape! I've learned a lot from all the great internet resources.

Some of my other hobbies include mechanical keyboards and video gaming of all varieties.

Currently I have two Sega Blast Cities. I'm really hoping to get a Vewlix or two in the future but we'll see if that pans out or not. I'm not opposed to other sit-down LCD cabs either like the Delta32 or G-Balance.

Games that I have:

DoDonPachi - Japanese version
CPS2 w/ Street Fighter Alpha 3
Sega ST-v w/ Die Hard Arcade
Raiden
Raiden II
Neo Geo MVS
- Puzzle Bobble
- KoF 98
- KoF 2002 (bootleg)
- Metal Slug
- Neo Turf Masters
- Magical Drop II
- Neo Bomberman

I'm also learning how to build and repair electronics, mostly for arcade and console gaming. It's been a ton of fun realizing that electronics aren't magic! So far I've made a couple wiring looms and I'm working on a DIY supergun for my workbench. Thanks to Lemony Vengeance and OneCircuit (on youtube), among others, for piquing my interest in figuring out electronics.

Looking forward to becoming a part of this community! Thanks!

Oh, and I have some lazy cats.
 
Welcome!

Nice Blast cabs. I read thru some of your stuff, you keep some good notes on your progress.
 
Welcome! +1 for using a github repo to keep track of things. I'm thinking you should skip the ST-V carts you're after and just pick up a darksoft multi, save some bucks in the process! +kcarcadegame here sells cabs too: Full Machines and Parts
 
I love these entries/notes:

"Way too Much" Indeed :D Cave prices are getting even more insane lately
And congrats on getting that DoDonPachi - they are getting harder to find for sale these days

Yeah! I am probably going to do that! I heard about Darksoft's Multi ST-V a long time ago, but every thing I'd found (short of joining arcade-projects) seemed to act like it was a one-run-and-done kind of deal. I figured i'd missed the boat and was out of luck.

After joining I immediately found the ST-V Multi thread and saw something about manufacturing runs every 6-9 months ish. Got me really excited!

Thanks for the kind words :)

It would be really nice if I could get around to selling CP harnesses, etc. We'll see.

I'd already accepted my fate that I'd never own a CAVE board hah! Then it appeared on eBay and my wife told me, "Do whatever you gotta do to get it. You love that game. Go for it." Bless her :D

There's another one that just popped up maybe two days ago.
 
"Do whatever you gotta do to get it. You love that game. Go for it." Bless her :biggrin:"
SHE IS A KEEPER :D :D :D :D :D :D
