Sega Aero City Harness Extension

Sega Aero City Harness Extension

As much as I love the Aero City, one thing that is really annoying about them is the length of the JAMMA harness it comes with. It starts off with a 36 way fingerboard to the JAMMA edge for a total of 30cm. It’s not long at all. It doesn’t Continue Reading

Darksoft CPS2 Multi Install

Got DRAGONKZ CPS2 DS Champion Edition Multi to install and I must say, this install was WAAAAAAY easier than the first version. No need to worry about snapping very thin pins on the main board, jumpers, PAL chip version etc Checked and confirmed the board is suicided. Battery is still Continue Reading

Japanese Outrun 2 SP Single Cab – Speaker Upgrade

Well I decided on Logitech 2.1 speakers because of one reason – bass! I feel since Sega didn’t install the rear speakers and base (like daytona 2) that I would be going it a disservice without some base  Enter the logitech Z407’s. These speakers pretty much ticked all the right Continue Reading

CPS3 Repair Attempt

I purchased a CPS3 mobo only from YAJ a little while back in hope that it would work, but unfortunately my YAJ luck has run out (previously most “junk” stuff I’ve purchased has been perfect, but sadly this time it’s not so much the case ) When the CPS3 arrived, it Continue Reading

I had these two Sega Naomi DIMMs with the following issue The “no bios” one is the normal DIMM and the “faulty base” is the NetDIMM. I had previously tried to fix these two DIMMs with reflashing the bios I would say 10 times each – I eventually gave up Continue Reading

Wireless Phone Charger using Sega AIME card reader

For a little while now, I’ve been using the Sega AIME Control panel for Astro Cities (I’ve also since purchased another 2 of these panels giving me a total of 4 since I like the style so much). Since I’m not using any PCBs that would make sure of the Continue Reading

Sega Aero City – 2L12B and kick harness

Since I’ve pretty much decided on putting the DS CPS2 Multi on the Horizontal Aero, I figured it’d need a 2P panel. It most likely won’t be permanent, but having the ability to swap it around is always handy. Enter a 60 dollar Aliexpress repro… The post man delivered the Continue Reading

Sega Aero City – Number 2!

I’m sure those who have been keeping a close eye on my cabs know I have a silly theme of having pairs! Just because this cab is pretty rare in Australia, is not an excuse! 😀 About a month ago, I got delivery of another Aero City – once again thanks Continue Reading

Fujifilm Kiosk Jukebox

I purchased this photo kiosk almost 2 years ago with plans of doing a touch screen jukebox for the other half and of course, more projects happened during that time and this one always got pushed back. As of the last couple of weeks, I’ve pushed through and tried to Continue Reading
