Jet Get Radio!!!! post here when you get something new!

Am I right in thinking that the decryption of the Killer Instinct games hasn't been properly broken yet, and Mame still has trouble with them as a result?

Nope, scratch that, it was Primal Rage I was thinking about. Pretty sure it hasn't had it's encryption fully broken yet

Picked up this yesterday

Just picked up some of these:

They'll allow me to create custom PS1 memory cards. All I need to do is pair them with a Raspberry Pi Pico and a MicroSD SPI module.

Essentially they'll become any kind of memory card or controller that I want them to be (the controllers and the memory cards share the same bus, so technically I can fake a controller to the memory card bus and it should just work...)

So, one to become a memory card that I can easily put saves on and the other to allow me to work through the Pico to connect any controller to the PS1.

Any idea if the board is performing any kind of logic (even by probing around the place with a multi-meter) or is it completely dead?

If you need any EEPROMs burned let me know, I might be able to help you out.

I still waiting on my one. I think I registered interest a bit after you, so hopefully I'm coming up soon :)

Ah its powering on. Id have a pretty good idea of what the problem is and the solution.

Thanks for the rom offer. Im pretty sure it needs and update to get rid of the "okokokokok" callouts

9 blips, that's for the unit itself and the three additional cables. Not too bad at all really.

Got me a fenrir. Installing in my recently acquired jpn saturn.

Pulled this out of it, had been installed between cd drive and motherboard. Any ideas what it is/did?

Drive was doa, wouldn't even play audio cds.

Will do. Had a quick run through, updated and put some roms on there. Came with a friction fit bracket, seems to hold it nicely in position on the two "posts" where the cd unit mounts.

Saw mixed reviews on those (in general, not that particular supplier), so hadn't ordered one.

The backet supplied does a good job of "presenting" the micro SD card for removal

Atomiswave mobos aren't too mad expensive and you can get fairly cheap bootleg cartridges that look like the real deal. Probably be the only person in Ireland to actually use the Atomiswave cabinet for it's actual intended purpose if you went that way :D

Everthink of a MiSTercade setup?

Welcome to the AtomiswaveSD family! :D

MiSTercade setup - the only drawback which might push someone to a Pi would be the ablity to switch between TATE and YOKO games no matter the monitor setup. MiSTercard can't...or can, but you'd need to tilt your head :D

Someone has just created a Atomiswave flashcart in the past few weeks (can't find link at the mo, but was in French if that helps). Most games have been ported to the Sega Naomi at this stage though, easier to play them on a NetDimm with that system I would suggest.

Its actually my second one but moving my other one on as it needs work.

I have the 2 cyberleads aswell so i might mistercade my awsd and put it into tate for vert games

I have a tekken tag board for one of the cyberleads and then i might mistercade the other cyberlead for regular beatem ups etc

Just agreed to sell my crazy taxi cab so ill have a few euro to get some arcade bits

Basically the arcade side of things being kept very pure with no frills. Cores are trying to replicate boards 100% it as if the arcade core is in fact the PCB. So the options are limited to the actual PCB dip settings.

If it's a vertical game, then you need to rotate your monitor, like with a real PCB.

I do get it and it adds to that feeling of it being a far more legitimate experience with no emulation attached.

But as you said I'm fairly lucky in that I've a second cabinet for vertical games so might change my tune if I didn't.

I believe there's a workaround if you're using a panel instead via a HDMI cable.

That sounds like a really great setup. Man, two Cyberleads! I keep forgetting you got that second one.

Do remember as well that PS1 lightgun games are just one SNAC adapter for the MiSTercade away too, incredibly easy to set up and would be amazing on a big AWSD 29 inch monitor. ]

Edit - just to say if you need a hand with any of that MiSTercade stuff, from buying bits to setting it up give me a shout.

It's fairly straightforward once you know how but can be a little bit confusing trying to figure out where to start.
