Looking good o1s1n. Can see the robe much clearer now too. :P

What colours you go for with the Start buttons?

o1s1n · 02-07-2012 10:59pm

I made sure to take your advice and stay robed

Not sure what to do about the start buttons now - just had a look at the flier and they're the original colours!

I wouldn't mind trying a couple of yellows and just seeing what they're like. Yellow always looks good for start buttons for some reason

on the Capcom boards the kick harness terminates in a little white plug that plugs into the very top of the board...

Looking at these on ebay and was just wondering, how do you ground the buttons the kick harness is connected to? do you just ground them to the rest of the normal jamma buttons?

Looks like there is a spot on the SF2CE board for a kick harness too..

When I had them installed, I just ran the ground wire to the ground loop that the other buttons were using, quick & easy.

Yep that looks like the correct pin header anyway

I can see why you went to emulation with your cab, must have been annoying connecting up the kick harness every time you changed a PCB on your fighting games.

I had both CPS1 & CPS2 harness installed, & had them ending beside the JAMMA connector so it wasn't too bad really. It was more a case of having to pull the cab out from the wall as they loaded from the back, bloody weight of those >6ft cabs.

Optimus Prime · 03-07-2012 4:29pm

Can you connect the CPS1 & CPS2 harness to the buttons at the same time? So you dont have to keep swapping them, and just plug the relevant one into the pcb?

Yeah thats what I done. You could either recrimp those wires into new button plugs or solder them onto the existing button plugs. T'was very handy

o1s1n · 03-07-2012 4:32pm

Oh yeah, I forgot I had to do that with my original woody too. It's a right pain!

In fact, to get around it, I just left the control panel unlatched. It was heavy enough to stay down like that. To change a game I flipped the control panel forward and that's pretty much where the JAMMA harness was located.

Whatever Japanese man thought it was a good idea to put a service door on the front of a candy was a genius

Excellent, something new learned every day. Im still reading up on that monitor, apparantly they can have a few different issues, caps etc.

Ah cool, in my cab the Jamma connector ends near the rear, & the shelf under the CP isn't big enough for a pcb so I'm kinda stuck. I can switch the cab back to JAMMA functionality within a few minutes if I so wish, but it's too big to be lugging out all the time.

The front loading Candy is a gift for that, typical Japanese design, elegant & functional at the same time

o1s1n · 03-07-2012 10:29pm

Remember there were a few vertical boards I was a bit worried might have a damage sound amp due to a bit of an issue with a supergun? Well I finally brought myself to test them tonight.

Bit of a double edged sword this one - if they worked that would obviously be a good thing, but they would torment me being displayed sideways with no way of playing them!

So good news, they both worked perfectly. (So I am assuming Raiden 2 will too then. It's a little more dug in storage wise and I was feeling lazy)

Really miffed I can't play them at the moment, but sure what can you do. I'll get my hands on a vertical cab at some point.

Just saw this over in the crap cab thread on AO.

I have no words.

I have no words to describe how awesome it is!

Fixed. How cool is that - a cab, with a fridge! Genius.

Of course I mean it's utter sh1te.

/Edit: Actually on second glance what disturbs me most is the fridge door opening to the left?! What sort of strange backwards planet does that chap live on. :pac:

kevin2me · 06-07-2012 3:35pm

Fixed as right, Fine for those who dont have a Clue unlike the rest of us.
Space issues and that WIFE says no to a Cab. Awesome idea

I wouldnt dare have it, but more power to lad who does have it

unky chop chop · 06-07-2012 8:25pm

Saw this yolk today on AO.
I really want a cocktail now and thought the Aero table was quality but this has taken top spot now..Jaleco Table pony.Never knew they existed.Love the design.
Manual rotate but still can't complain
They come in 19" or 25".I'd imagine they are as rare as f44k.
still..Mmmmm I want

Pyongyang · 06-07-2012 8:34pm

I didn't know Jaleco made table cabinets. That example is very nice, although I do love the styling of the Aero Table more if I had to choose between the two. Not sure I could live with a cocktail cabinet but they are very lovely pieces I agree.

BTW, is that Dangun Feveron art the real deal? That art goes for a ridiculous amount of money, it's biblically tough to find original art for it.

unky chop chop · 06-07-2012 8:51pm

Yeah didn't know they made them either.
i'm usually Sega all the way but the design on that cocktail is unique for a candy.
I suppose all Jaleco Cabs are like that,but it really suits the cocktail.

haaa the Dangun Feveron artwork got your pulse racing Py.
What a game I must say...only discovered it recentley.
Now probably my fave Cave title to just pick up and play.
Scoring system is quality

Pyongyang · 06-07-2012 8:54pm

Dangun Feveron is a terrific game. A lot of folk I feel tend to overlook it. It's not my favourite Cave shooter (that's DDPDOJ, DDPDOJBL, DDPDOJBLEX in a 3-way tie) but it is a brilliant game all the same. I like the Donpachi/Batrider-style commentator the game features. Excellent stuff!

As for the cabinet, I'm a big fan of the Jaleco Pony, the styling on the table is similar, still stunned they made a table. Must be rare as blue steak!

Casey120 · 06-07-2012 8:59pm

Those are some sort of home made stickers.

Dangun Feveron art is pretty hard to find but not very expensive as far as I know .

Here's my set :

Ps,
meanwhile on offer on YHJ
http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k149764934

Now that's rare , a freaking full kit with matching serials :eek:

o1s1n · 06-07-2012 9:04pm

That Jaleco table is cool, but I'm not too mad on the idea of having control panels on either side. Must be a right pain to find a spot for it in the house!

Does look fun though..!

(by the way, check this out, Windjammers on the Neo Geo has a cocktail mode - there's something you dont see used very often)

Casey120 · 06-07-2012 9:06pm

That table looks so tiny compared to an Aero , I want one

unky chop chop · 06-07-2012 9:08pm

Ha Yeah
Batrider voice for the win.
Sounds like he speaks through one of those amp gadgets that throat cancer victims use

Owch! That's expensive! That said, the Batrider kit I'm hoping to snag isn't far off that price. I wish we could buy these things for a better price.

Imagine the Antiques Roadshow 10 or 15 years from now...

o1s1n · 06-07-2012 9:09pm

Just googled a few more pics and you can either have the control panel on one side as two player or have one player on each side.

I still rather the Aero though. Although it's probably just because of the colours to be honest. The white and blue looks amazing.

unky chop chop · 06-07-2012 9:15pm

Still if you lashed a combo of white and black buttons in that and got rid of those god awful bat tops with sanwa white mesh ones it would look amazing.

Casey120 · 06-07-2012 9:18pm

Feveron has some fun "secrets" , to play with an uncontrollable fast Uo Poko that meows until your nerves break or a nice 3 minute caravan mode :

Heaven is here inside your soul !

o1s1n · 06-07-2012 9:18pm

Do I see another potential purchase on the horizon?

Maybe Steve_SI will see one tucked away in the back of that candy cab warehouse...!

Casey120 · 06-07-2012 9:21pm

Ronnie has 2 nice Namco Consolette's on sale right now , I think he needs at least one for the grand opening !

unky chop chop · 06-07-2012 9:22pm

Yeah I was thinking that..Come on Steve
For the love of god..PLEASE.I love you loooooong time
Where are the speakers on those cabs anyway..underneath?
