Well, managed to banjax the coin mech! Had it accepting 20c coins fine - then it stopped for some reason and started rejecting them all again.
Tried to fix it but a little plastic piece attached to a screw snapped.
Then another little triangular piece of plastic fell out from the bottom and I've no idea where it goes. :pac:
Probably easier just to buy one already set for 20c at this point!
Pity that
That's the reason I just bought a 20 cent one, didn't want to balls up the original 100 yen mech. Not that pricey for them either really.
Remember, if you do go for the 1 euro mech you'll probably have to widen the coin entry slot a bit.0 -

It should be a very easy adjustment - the photos Casey120 provided were a great help. I got the coin dropping in perfectly as per the first photo, just the second part was giving me grief.
No matter what point I adjusted the slider at the bottom to, the 20c either fell out the wrong side or else gets jammed. I have a feeling that little plastic bit that fell out has some say in the direction the coin falls. Where it sits in the bottom part though I just can't figure out!
I was trying to think of the best way to widen the coin slot by a couple of mm. A really thin file maybe? Dremel sounds a bit too aggressive - I really don't want any modifications like that to be noticeable.bit late to the thread here - but huge congrats to you O1s1n. Welcome back to the candy club at long last. The cabinet looks fantastic also, Ronnie didn't let you down one little bit.
Could the coinmech be converted into just a chute for coins ?
Thanks man!
That's not a bad idea actually. All I want the coin mech to do is to let a coin drop and trigger that little lever which registers a credit. I couldn't really care less what denomination of coin does it. (in fact if it accepted every single coin possible in my pocket at any time that'd be better for me)0 -

Hopefully it should be salvageable. The 20c coins are dropping through, just going into the wrong chute. Just thinking, I may be able to stick a match in at an angle and that would redirect the coins back into the correct chute.
After three hours of tinkering with it last night, I ended up with a pretty decent understanding of how the mechanics of it work, so at least that's something anyway!

Nothing like a learning session when it comes to fukcing up something important 0 -
Forced learning - the worst kind!
Managed to come across some decent scans of the original AVP cab artwork. Going to print it off when I get home and see if I can fit the three of them in the marquee. (posting them here so I remember when I get home!)

This one might be usable as well with a little contrast adjustment on it.
Click for the full size ver.
Bit of quick contrast adj in PS(Looks a bit dark/saturated on screen but prints better):

First one is the Arcade Flyer , the other two together should make the Japanese marquee .
All you need now is the move strip !
Edit , here art sets for most CPS-2 , click right under the name :

Managed to fix the coin mech! Hurrah! It's now accepting 20c coins perfectly.
I opened up the bottom section where the two chutes go, placed a match diagonally going towards the credit chute, placed another match through a hole behind it to keep it in place, sandwiched it all closed and it works! Every time.0 -

So I've been messing about with that MGCD for the ps1/ps2, trying to get it to work.
Picture fine (a bit too bright, but could adjust that out)
Sound fine
Controls - none!
Found something out - for some stupid reason, a lot of MGCD boards aren't 100% JAMMA compatible. Whoever made it, mapped the ground pins on the JAMMA harness to two buttons. As a result? No controls.
Been trying to find a solution. Everyone seems to think you need to disconnect the two end ground wires on the JAMMA harness. Sorry but I'm not hacking my harness just for one damn adapter!
Turns out there's another solution - (and one which I thought everyone would have been doing
)
Get a JAMMA fingerboard and lift the two pins at the end

Will give this a go, fingers crossed it works. Was really looking forward to some playstation shmup goodness in 15k.
Edit - ah balls, seems all fingerboards come as is. Cant seem to find one with a JAMMA connector presoldered. If anyone knows where to get one, give me a shout!
Edit - how about buying one of these JAMMA extension harnesses and just lifting the end pins?
