Hello, I plugged my Midway Wolf board directly into the HAS, with regenerated sync enabled, into my OSSC. The latter doesn't detect any signal whatsoever. When regenerated sync is off the OSSC picks up the signal immediately. Is there any tweaks I can do so I can use my board with regenerated sync on?

I wrote about what you need to do to make Midway Y/T/Wolf games work.

Regeneration sync isn't compatible.
You need a iScan DVDO VP30-50-50pro to process the sync from the OSSC for a display to pick it up.

I just saw your post, it's very helpful, thanks!

If I run the game with regenerated sync turned off, the picture seems to be cut off at the bottom.

You can change the v active in the advanced menu.
By setting it higher then 240 you can get the height squished down to see the edges, this is not correct/pure pixel aspect (aka produces non square pixels).

Looked around in the various forums/sign up sheets, etc. but couldn't find an answer, but I have a question:

I have a HAS 3.1 & am looking to get a few hats for it (4p cps2/konami, VGA, etc). & was wondering if the hats being made for the upcoming 3.2/3.3 release would be compatible.

As an aside, I've been loving how the HAS fits in a small little box making it super easy to transport around. I've been taking it around the US for various Fighting Game Community events for the competitive Vampire Savior & SSF2X scenes over here and always get a ton of compliments/inquiries about it. In fact…I see some of those folks here in the thread asking about the sign up sheet

Thanks again for all you do RGB, & everyone else who's helped with the project!

Asked this awhile back but didn't see a reply. I signed up for em on the waiting list, but is there any official word on this @RGB ?

Also: Still going strong with my special "Vampire" edition of the 3.1! Took it over to "Makai World Cup", a VSAV & other retro fighting game tournament & used it a ton over there, as well as every month for my own events. Going to "Combo Breaker" next with it, and then to EVO again!

Thanks again!

All modules/hats except for the 3P4P adapter are compatible.

I'm glad the HAS has proved itself during tournaments, this means a lot to me Thank you for spreading the word!

Having recently needing to do this for JP pcs:

go into sampling opt. > Adv. timing and press ok
scroll down to v. backporch this sets the vertical top of the image -
from 18 to 39 now it’s cut off on the bottom however the top of our screen is in line with the monitor so switch to v active

since mine was cut off i ramped v active to much higher - from 480 to 530 just so i could get the full image... note image does not update unless you toggle backporch up/down one

but now v. active is too high so the trick is to lower v active while watching the image
you'll see the bottom line of the image instantly vanish - that's the full size of your image
i.e switching from 512 to 511 the bottom row is lost... if i leave to 512 and go back to backporch and flip it once up/down.....

screen fits

For those of you waiting on a HAS order but are impatient like me, here is a chance to get one shipped to you tomorrow:

FS: HAS SuperGun(S)

Is there a list of all changes between the different HAS revisions somewhere?

I have an old Arcade PCB coming to me (Castlevania HAUNTED CASTLE) and I'm thinking to make a wooden case to "console" it. So that if I later buy some another arcade board, I could switch the PCB there and play that one. So I have a few questions:

If I buy these:
HAS V3.2 supergun
Sega Saturn to JAMMA joypad converter
HD15 adapter PCB.
And the powersupply mentioned here which works great with HAS.

It should work with my JAMMA arcade board from 1988? I have a Sony BVM monitor which I would like to use with that. It has SCART to BNC adapter on it and a Joytech SCART switch beneath that. So I would need to get that 8pin din to SCART. Could I use this inside my "console" and then use just a normal RGB SCART cable between the console and RGB switch? And then if for some reason I would like to play with modern PC screen with VGA in it, would I be able to use that HD15 adapter with it?

Sorry for the newbie questions, just wan't to make sure to get the right set.

Yes, it's a JAMMA PCB, so it will work.

The cable from your link won't work, because its Scart connector is wired for Scart "input". It must be wired for "output".

And then if for some reason I would like to play with modern PC screen with VGA in it, would I be able to use that HD15 adapter with it?

No, it won't work with the PC monitor, because the adapter doesn't do any video upscaling (it wouldn't cost 10-12 EUR and wasn't so tiny if it did).

 

[nassekova]

OK, thanks for clearing it out!

You had these under "Sold", does it mean that you don't manufacture these anymore?

• 8pin mini DIN -> female Scart adapter - 12 EUR (not pictured, but also includes a 2xRCA to 3.5mm jack adapter; 20-30cm long).

• RGB to Composite Video/S-Video adapter. Based on the popular Sony CXA2075 IC - 35 EUR

Would that "8pin mini DIN -> female Scart adapter" work on my SCART Switch and BVM? And since the VGA is not an working option, I could have used S-video when playing on newer displays/OLED TV via my Marantz (If you still are making those RGB to composite/s-video adapters).

I wouldn't consolize if I were you... Rather I would get a nice plexi case made for the PCB.
Then its protected, nice looking and you can still easily play/swap to other JAMMA boards.

HAS is a modular/expandable device, and a OSSC is a multi functional scaler...
Don't limit yourself, these components are designed to support tons of JAMMA PCBs, not just one.

Check out my R-Type for example...

Uh... Yea... IF you wanted it to look like total shit you sure could.
You see ALL modern TV's, even IF they support 240p video modes via a input like component or s-video... Don't treat the video input as progressive, but interlaced.

If you want the full explanation as to why this is I suggest you Google double strike electron beams in a cathode-ray tube.
I'll give you the boiled down version... 240 progressive is infact a hack of the tubes 480 interlaced mode, only its not updating the interlaced B field, its double striking the A field.
So its kinda interlaced, at least that's how the TV sees it, but the B field isn't used.

This is true. I'm still considering the whole consolizing thing. My friend made this really cool Contra + Super C Arcade PCB console so got the idea from there (picture below).

That plexi case would be so much easier to switch. I had this wooden PS4 style case on my mind where I would add HAS, power supply and the arcade PCB. Get neogeo control ports out of the front and SCART RGB out behind. The problem is that these arcade PCB's seem to come in al lkind of shapes and forms, so probably would not fit many of the kind on that wooden case. Unless I made it huge, and I'm already short in space

But yeah, I waged through almost all of these 106 pages and seems that I'm not the only one who has problems with the 8pin din to SCART RGB. All the links I found to those "nintendo 8 pin din to RGB SCART lead" were out of stock. So I guess my best option is to go with the PS2 SCART cable (and order right kind of cable for that), or make one myself. If I end up with wooden console, I might just make it my self and use that female SCART end on the back of my console. But for now I'm definitely starting to tip on the plexi case and supergun solution!

I will but my pre-order on the form!

There's also this cable - https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk...-CDi-Colecovision-Intellivision-Panasonic-3DO

edit: that wooden PS4 case looks pretty amazing!

 

[XtraSmiley]

I can confirm that Haunted Castle plays 100% perfect with the HAS as I was playing it right before I sold my HAS on Monday.

Man, what a hard fucking game!

I used an OSSC to get it to display on a modern TV and I suggest picking that up if you ever grab more PCBs.

 

[KinG_SoPa]

This is what i did as a home consolized HAS with an jamma extender by @The Spaniard and of course a OSSC with scart adaptor to 8 pindin .. plus i play my ps4 on this monitor too (Ben Q Zowie) @nassekova

 

[jassin000]

Wow @KingSopz that setup of yours has really taken shape!
Love a nice clean/organized desktop.

Hi RGB ! (and all the community)
As a new member on this forum, I would like to know if your HAS can support a kickharness for Mortal Kombat 2 pcb ? If yes, could you supply it ?
I am interested in your HAS, I have pre-ordered one, but I have received no reply from you.
Thanks for your help.

Not directly, the HAS as its sold comes with a CPS2/3 style kick harness only.
So you would pair this (CPS2/3 lead) with an adapter like the JNX Raiden (adapts for MK1/MK2/MK3/CPS1).

The biggest problem you'll have with MK2 won't be the kicks...
Rather with my favorite upscaler, the OSSC.
For this reason I've gotta say unless you also plan on purchasing a iScan VP30/VP50/VP50 Pro to pair with the OSSC...
Look for another solution like the xRGB Mini "Framemeister" which works without issue, or a SCART-to-Component adapter to use with a CRT.

All this is needed...

Just to get this...
