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
Point Blank Breakthrough!
After finally admitting defeat the other day, I started thinking about how to install the game using JAMMA. When I purchased a Point Blank PCB, I was also given a Point Blank wiring harness with the JAMMA edge connector so I thought I’d use that and retro fit it into Continue Reading
Point Blank Troubleshooting
Here’s what I’ve done so far My next test is to bother DRAGONKZ and connect both my Point Blank 1 and Point Blank 2’s with their respective EMI Filter Boards and see if it also exhibits the same issue to completely rule out the EMI Filter boards being the issue. Continue Reading

Atomiswave Stereo Amp Upgrade
The last major part is the Stereo Amp. Enter Sega’s 601-10369 Stereo Amp! It’s in a nice cage and has the step down transformer built into it. Prefer to use arcade amps instead of the 12v leppy ones from ebay on these candies if I can. The taito one would Continue Reading
Novelty Cab
It’s been a minute since I posted, mainly because most of the cabs are functional and I’m spending most of the time normally for tinkering on SF6 since my Next Gen upgrade above. For those that aren’t aware, I recently purchased an Atomiswave SD with the plan of it being the direct Continue Reading
Atomiswave To Do List
My to do list was as follows: Stuck with original colour scheme and the CP is looking FRESH! I know 6 buttons isn’t required for a vertical cab, but I figured I might as well do it from the beginning and have it ready if ever this cab goes back Continue Reading
