With my recent project of getting a Wii on the NNC, it’s only natural to want to do some more projects 😀 Enter this under appreciated beast of a console – the Sega Dreamcast who was always overshadowed by the far more popular Sony Playstation 2. Myself included 😀 I Continue Reading

Fluffy’s CAVE IGS PGM PCBS Round 2
Back in 2022, I built Fluffy’s CAVE pcbs and those still work great. Build can be found below Since I still had some extra pcbs prior to Fluffy releasing out the Gerber files, I figured why not build them again and use the spare pcbs/parts I had. The biggest difference Continue Reading
NetDIMM 3D printed cover
I’ve had this on my “to do” for years, I just never got around to it until recently. Nearly everyone that uses a NetDIMM uses it with a Raspberry Pi. And for those that use Chunksin’s WiPiNetbooter, your Pi will just rest around the NetDIMM area loosely. Some very smart Continue Reading
Namco Noir Tekken 8 Upgrade
Tekken 8 has been out for a while and the Namco Noir has always been known as the “Tekken Cab” since T6 so it was only natural that I made the Noirs T8 compatible. Since the PS5 is my primary way to play SF6, I wanted another dedicated setup so Continue Reading

She’s home!!
Point Blank is now officially in its rightful spot now! This cab is done and fully playable. Artwork for the bezel and a Japanese marquee is all that I am after
There is light at the end of a very long tunnel!
The light at the end of the tunnel is so close with this cab! With the video issues now solved, it’s now time to get the cab back to working order – first order of business was doing a general clean and fixing up a few nuances on the cab. Continue Reading
Sync Issue Discussion
Let’s now talk Point Blank 1 and this damn stupid sync issue! This is how I know I have sync issues when I play Point Blank Notice how the squares aren’t square? When I use the EMI filter with the resistor pcb ‘out’ going to the game pcb and ‘in’ Continue Reading
Point Blank Monitor Calibration
Spent some time the other night calibrating the monitor. I don’t know if I’m going to bother with corner convergence, I’ve been down that route before with the Blast City and it’s one quite annoying job You can clearly see corner convergence being a problem After enough time with the Continue Reading
