    Heavy is putting it lightly (haha).
    For mine, I cut the legs to make it a sit down cab - also painted the monitor surrounds and the control panel tops matt black. I kept the legs etc. white, kinda works with the contrast - if it was all black it would be kinda a very large monolith in the corner :)

    Wiring for JAMMA, makes sense if you don't want to toy around with JVS you'd just need to convert the video to VGA

    Thinking of stain black all over with the Naomi Universal orange vinyls and white controls, definitely getting chopped.

    Its a Sanwa 31Khz monitor so handy for a Mame cab, have one of those 15Khz-31Khz video converters so will try that out and see what the quality is like.
    It'll be a total mongrel inside and out but hopefully won't turn up on the mame-of-shame thread :)

    Just collected my hard modded PS2 phat.
    Looking forward to doing lots of "research" with it in the coming years!
    Apparently it's the DMS3 chip, which is a good thing.
    It'll play pretty much everything you can throw at it.

    For the full throw back experience I should either store "research" in a giant dvd cake or buy a printer that will do faux labels on the "research"!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭The Last Bandit


    DMS3 chip is one of the better ones, handy feature where you can run apps from the memory card (like Hddloader etc).

    I was a big fan on BBS's back in the day so recently got one of these. A wifi64 - giving wifi connectivity for a C64.

    Really great bit of kit. The internet before the internet. :)

    Just did some testing there and it works like a charm.
    Funny thing though, the previous owner gave me a couple of his own "research" disks and they were games like Pro Evo 06 and 07!
    I mean, the blank media probably costs more a piece than the games in CEX!

    That C64 looks minty fresh

    It was an ebay find. Came boxed and looked like the previous owner did not use it much. Just a bit of elbow grease was all that was needed. :)

    I tried the gas, given there was a lot of waiting around. Suffice it to say, I won't be doing that again :o

    Was it any good?
    I wanted to try it this time but the midwife was there the whole time and I didn't want her to think I just wanted to get high while my child was being born:o

    It's N2O as far as I can make out, because, unless you're in severe pain, you're going to laugh...a lot. Don't do it, they'll know instantly because you'll be cracking up for a few minutes for no reason at all, and its uncontrollable. Once it wears off, the embarrassment kicks in :o

    Pandora's Box 6 CGA/JAMMA arrived yesterday - it isn't half bad, seems to allow PS1 games also...of course all through emulation.
    Ciderman can vouch about slow down'ness - from a quick go it was better than the previous Pandora's type all-in-one arcade emu boxes I've tried before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,126 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    So playing my GBA SP (now that I got my EZ Flash Omega) and I don't remember the screen being this dark (even with the backlight).
    Is the GBA Micro any better ?

    I couldn't get over how dark my sp was too when I turned it on last week. I wonder is it just because we're so used to the brightness of smart phones and tablets

    I think so - we're just used to super bright displays now. But I think I read somewhere the micro screen was a fair bit better

    Interesting, ps1 games, what do they play like?
    What are side scrollers like
    Eg. Wonderboy, GNG, RType?

    Is it the front lit model? You can get a replacement back lit screen for them
