Noir HD Upgrade

Noir HD Upgrade

It’s almost been 3 years since both these Noirs had anything done to them. With SF6 releasing on Friday, it was only natural for things to get upgraded. I decided to upgrade my other HD cabs (will post about that in another thread) so the noir by default got the Continue Reading

Egret 2 – control panel and general update

It’s been a while since the last update – I always dread updates that’s why they’re so far in between haha I was bumbed for a little while as the temporary ms9 I had stopped working  luckily, the proper MS9 from the cab was being serviced by JOMAC and it wasn’t Continue Reading

Rhythm Tengoku – Control Panel part 2

Rhythm Tengoku – Control Panel part 2

As previously mentioned, I had planned to wire harness with a JAMMA edge like this: @LemonyVengeance gave me the idea of bypassing the JAMMA edge and just wire it directly to the Blast City I/O. Due to the sheer amount of wire I needed, I figured it would be cheaper to Continue Reading

Egret 2 – wiring

Egret 2 – wiring

Wiring Saturday was all about wiring! Got to love Operators and their hack/splice and do whatever they need to get something to work. There are better ways to do things, but I understand from an Op’s perspective. This is what I started working with. After unraveling it all, I confirmed Continue Reading

Egret 2 – worklog update

Been working on this here and there over the past few days, but managed to get some solid time on Saturday. Monitor I can understand why I’ve heard of people “necking” their tubes on this cab. If you’re not careful and if you haven’t checked the wires if there’s enough Continue Reading

Blast City – wavy corners part 2

A lot of trial and error on the weekend   but still haven’t gotten to the bottom of it unfortunately  I tried plugging in the vga (31khz) to my naomi universal and I didn’t get any wavy corners. Monitor is powered via the blast city, everything else is on the naomi Continue Reading

Blast City – wavy corners part 1

The universe just doesn’t want me to love the blast city!  Backstory: The blast city had some “buzzing” that got louder as time went on. After reading a thread on AP, it pointed to some stuff inside the yoke and would need “cleaning” but to do so would mean removing Continue Reading

Blast City – Recap

Blast City – Recap

So the feedback I got from a few people was to “recap” the PSU and it “should” fix my issue with the Sega I/O TL;DR – I’m exactly in the same situation as I was prior to the recap  Blast PSU Recap Adventure  After getting my cap kits from Arcade Parts Continue Reading

Blast City – It’s alive!

Blast City – It’s alive!

This weekend that just passed, I set myself the goal of “just getting the shell screwed in to the base” as the shells had “dried*” *more on that later. The wiring deceivingly took WAAAAY longer than I expected as I decided I would take out all the old clips and Continue Reading

Blast City – Hiatus

Blast City – Hiatus

Wow, it’s been 4 months since I last updated! I haven’t really had much motivation to finish it off, I had one cab in its place with the rest of the cabs which made me really delay the finishing of the other cab. With that said, I recently sold off Continue Reading
