Someone Else
Student
Greetings. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their arcade projects! There's nothing else like arcade goodness.
I would like some tips on getting actual arcade hardware up and running and what I'll need to finally get my prized possession into an arcade authentic coin-op state.
This is a long and multi-part question, because there's a lot I'm unfamiliar with.
First, questions about the parts:
What I have is:
I may try to clean them up inside and fiddle with parts, but what GPU, RAM or CPU are used, and are they still findable?
Would it be easier to just track down a good condition TTX2? Does Taito still sell them brand new?
Things I know I'd like to order:
Lastly, Questions on the actual process:
I would like to run a multi-drive in the TTX2. Does that require the freeware multi from the pinned thread?
A Freeware Taito TypeX2 Multigame.[.820/url]
Also, if I have some games on the multi-drive and others from another source meant to be run on a PC, is it possible to somehow add the latter to the multi-drive?

First, questions about the parts:
What I have is:
- A beautiful Vewlix F cabinet https://imgur.com/a/3tn37q8
- A couple of non-working TTX2 units**
- A 2 player panel (but not a 2 player harness)
- An apparently unused I/O whose suitability for the task I'm not sure of, but it's labeled JAMMA, so I think it may not work. https://imgur.com/Q69iyzp https://imgur.com/BspDeu5

Things I know I'd like to order:
- A 2 player harness (I think that's part L300570B in the manual, K Harness-(1J6B), but it's difficult to tell whether that's the right harness)
- A new I/O card if the one I have wouldn't work (Part easy to find in catalog, but not sure of cost)
- A new marquee topper/ instruction panel (Both parts easy to find in catalog, but not sure of cost)
- Extra locks & keys of both types (The dimple key isn't listed, but the lock is listed as E5000678A "KIND LOCK-(LARGE RING)-(ROHS). Perhaps the key comes with it?
- A Taito ashtray to put coins in (Does anyone know the part number?)
- Optional: Some kind of arcade key chain from Taito, if they have one
- Optional: Some of the L-shaped quick disconnects that I've never seen on anything else but the Vewlix cabinet: https://imgur.com/bUEyYJU https://imgur.com/1wUqqk7 (The part number for that seems elusive.)
