He bothered sending the audio to a real receiver so what? He could blast mono audio from huge/pro reference speakers? :rolleyes:
MONO! :thumbdown:
Might as well hook it up via a sweet coaxial jack too, who needs RGBs.*snicker*

Come on, this is troubleshooting, it doesn't matter if he's using mono or stereo at this point, it's just testing. He can use stereo all day long once the proper operation of the game is confirmed.
 
I stand by my statements, the best way to test the audio IMO is at that connector not the JAMMA edge.
This will also benefit him in the long run, because as you pointed after troubleshooting he is going to want it hooked up like that anyway.

I think the HAS 3.1 is just using the default settings, other than the controller mappings that I set. It's outputting via SCART to the OSSC, and I've tried plugging headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the HAS, but I'm still not getting any audio going that route, either. The OSSC is set to Line5x mode; haven't tried switching to line2x or anything a little more lenient. The weird thing is that there's no audio or video, though - I could understand the OSSC having video issues but still outputting sound... but nothing? Just kinda weird. The board was working fine before the seller sent it, and it was well-packed... so that, combined with the fact that the board is getting power has me pretty confused as to what's happening.
All other JAMMA boards I have work fine with these settings. Cave stuff, CPS-2 stuff, ZN-2 stuff, etc.

This really doesn't tell much, because the HAS settings could have changed during shipping or during case assembly, it's been almost two years?
When you say you don't get audio, have you also tried to plug in the headphones or speakers to the HAS' 3.5mm jack output? If not, please do it, wait a moment for the attract mode sounds (unless it's disabled, then add coins instead).

I used to own a Mr Driller 2 PCB and also know people who own it and it works just fine, however not sure if it's compatible with the OSSC (it should be, though - try changing H-PLL pre and post coast settings).

edit: The most important question that I should have asked earlier - does the OSSC lock the signal (the OSSC's LCD screen should display the refresh rate of the signal)? If it does, but you don't see anything on the screen, then it's a problem with your TV set.

My Mr. D 2 and Mr. D G PCBs both work great with the HAS and an OSSC. Once I get dug out a bit, I'll post the settings if that helps and no one has done it yet.

I don't remember doing anything special for Tekken 2/System 11.
Maybe System 10 is different?

As @RGB said the LCD of the OSSC will display information if the sync has been locked.

This would help rule out display incompatibility at least.

That's a nicccce thick 8pin mini cable you got!Does it goto/end in Euro SCART?
Did you buy it/find it online someplace?! 8o

Here’s where I got the scart cable-

I’m actually using a scart to component adapter and I’m currently using this one and it works very well-

Howdy @RGB - I got my HAS tonight - all hooked up and works great so far! I need to order a DB15-RGBs bnc cable, but i hacked it all together for now and works well.

Not quite HAS related - but I tried to hook up my new meanwell RT-125A power supply at the same time to get everything dialed in, and the power supply just kept cycling - green light on the PS on and then off, and there is a slight noise as it cycles. It is set to 115V... any idea? i suppose something could be wrong from the factory - but seems unlikely.

The RT125A has a minimum power that it is required to work, and if the load is not enough, then it does exactly what you describe. Some boards (PGM and neo geo MV-1C in my experience) do not draw enough power from the power supply and it refuses to work. Nothing wrong with the PS, it's just the way it works. It does work perfectly with CPS1, CPS2, neogeo MV2F and Atomiswave though.

Actually, that would be super helpful.

Haven't had much time to take a look at it, but I remembered that I didn't fiddle with the volume knob at all when I connected headphones to the 3.5mm jack on the HAS... tried that, and -- sound! Ok, so the board is fine.

As for the OSSC, all it's telling me is "NO SYNC". I'll tinker with it a bit this weekend.
 
OK, I'm slowly digging stuff out to test (working on finding Mr Driller for you bud).

For now, I'm trying to get feedback out the door for all those who sold me PCBs, but I'm having trouble with two in particular. Cannot get sync with the OSSC from my HAS v4 on these two PCBs. Anyone got these to work and can post their settings? Again, not worried about display on TV yet, just tying to get sync on OSSC so I can confirm PCBs work to leave feedback for sellers.

Any help would be appreciated!

By the way, the new HAS is super sexy, great job as usual @RGB
 
I've posted pics of MK2 before, but because I was using my LG B6 OLED I also had to use the iScan DVDO.
This is my desktop setup (OSSC 1.5 DVI version) playing nicely with my BenQ (54.88Hz is no problem for these displays).

Cases help me make this crazy setup/gear compact enough to fit on my desktop.
I always keep the Comic/CD advertisement enabled in CMOS/DIPS.

You can see the JNX Raiden here pretty clearly, its adapting the CPS2/3 kicks into Midway style (also my reproduction comics from the promo/demo heh).

Yes MK2 (plexi'd) WILL fit the HAS (but only just barley) if you use a single CD case to help support the incredibly tight fit/join!
Naturally, if I've got my comics on display... And I needed a CD... I would use the CD also from the promo/demo. :)

A few shots from the BenQ...

By setting the OSSC's advanced settings you can increase the v-size beyond that of 240 (squashes the pixels into a proper 4:3ish ratio/fits the monitor vertically).

I'm selling that joystick in the pic btw :whistling:
With the JNX Raiden it defaults to...
[HP][BL][HK][LP]
[LP][NA][LK][XX]

Of course I use the fantastic remap feature of the HAS to move that block button to the bottom row (makes Sub Zero's slide easier to preform).
[HP][NA][HK][LP]
[LP][BL][LK][XX]

aka
[1][5][3][4]
[4][2][6][XX]

@RGB - quick question. This is a weird one!

I got the saturn controller adapters... fired up X-men vs. SF - and my original saturn controller worked perfect out of the box. I had just purchased the new retro-bit saturn controllers and tried those out today. Those aren't mapped correctly... the dpad movements are mapped to buttons and vice versa.

Any reason why they wouldn't work out of the box?

I aslso tried the retro-bit controllers on my regular saturn - and they do work perfect there (no mapping issues).

Matt
 
My adapters are compatible only with the official Sega digital controllers, 3rd party controllers work with limited luck, it's in the product description.

Looks like the retrobit isn't a 1:1 replica of the Saturn controller if it doesn't work. Like I said before, I'll buy one of those retrobits and investigate the reason for incompatibility. I assume it's either a timing issue or the controller identifies itself as analog.

Thanks - I didn't backread on it - I assumed since it worked on the Saturn it would work on your board... no worries... :)
 
Gents, it was mentioned in this thread to purchase an AC cable to power the PSU. Just watching a YouTube video (How to setup HAS) and the colors for FG / AC / AC in the video are different than the cable I have.

This is the cable, do we know what color I should be attaching to what post?
