Cool short pinball documentary

20GB of custom Pinball artwork ready for printing added to my artwork site. I do wish I had some original stuff to put up, but just haven't found a source or had anything uploaded to the site ftp(if anyone has some and wants to share with the world do let me know).
Anyway, it's there if anyone has need of it

Not really sure the exact amount, 40-45GB hosted directly on the website(Irish Servers) and another 100+GB on Google Drive at least(but only sorted/shared about 50Gb of the GDrive stuff so far).

Finally got around to putting the RunDMD in the FrancoB frame thing. Christ, was like a crazy 3D jigsaw puzzle. Two pieces of perspex, half a million screws and PCB spacers. But feck, does it look the part!





Shot under the hood. There's a little control board mounted behind the DMD. Actually the first time I assembled the thing one of the power cable terminals had come loose and a power wire had come out. Queue stripping it back down again. :eek:



And now for some gratuitous zombie headshots













Managed to take a peak inside the PGM kit too. Brand spanking new. Even came with a nice pop.

Nice kit mate yonton still has a few left I see. I was having great fun with the igs pgm before leaving the country for holidays, should have a few nice bits waiting upon my return.

DMD is great, mine arrived last week and i stuck it together. the frame is top quality too.

Where did you get the DDP 2

CathalDublin

looks savage, really wanted one of those DMD but just couldn't justify the money at the moment

o1s1n

RunDMDs definitely ain't cheap, but once you see one running in person it's definitely worth the price at least. Greatest clock on earth

Not sure what to do with my one. Quite like it on the mantelpiece but would also like to have it somewhere in the same vicinity as my cabs.

Good oul Yaton on ebay. Seems one of his contacts found a huge lot of unopened PGM boards.

So the guy featured on Collectaholics right now on BBC2 is the same guy who owns Arcade Club!

Awesome!

Just watching it now. The ould one with the dolls house is mad!

Wow. Some collection.
I'm going to have nightmares about the maintenance ........
Makes me want to move all move stuff into one room tho!
The missus agrees!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to ID a combat flight simulator arcade game that was most likely out between the mid 90s and early 00s.

The cab itself was in the Victoria Sporting Club arcade in Cork City, it was an upright cab with a flight stick, not sure if it had a throttle.

I tried the simulator category on the Killer List of Video Games but can't find it on there:

http://www.arcade-museum.com/results.php?genre=Simulator


It had a HUD view, and I remember it being very fast paced, between targets.

The targets involved other fighter jets and AWACs also:




Air combat is probably the closest thing to it but the graphics in this game were much newer.

Does that ring bells with anyone?

Taito's Landing Gear was in the same Arcade at the time:

It isn't G-Loc either I'm afraid,

it had nice polygon graphics instead of sprites.

Cheers for the reply!

PiForce-Web - just got this setup with my Sega Naomi cab and its made it an ease to load/switch games. Freaking awesome!
With a Raspberry Pi and a USB wifi yokie (and me needing to add in some firmware for my wifi USB yokie), a bunch of .bin files of the games edited down to remove the chaff and stuff that needs a funky cab setup, I've got myself a cab which creates its own wifi network, connect to it by phone or laptop and go to any site. It redirects you to a list of ROMs, tap the ROM and blam! It kicks off sending it to your lovely NetDimm (like a flashcart for the Naomi but Sega made it)

Finally !
After 4 weeks of waiting Roadshow is back in action!
HAd to get the CPU board repaired and I got a pinsound board.
Its finally 100% working and ready to be stripped down and cleansed of its 20years of crust!

Great Stuff

My new parts for NGG arrived aswell https://i.imgur.com/NOTTiQr.jpg

25 dollars of premium steel right there. Hopefully this will sort it out 100% mechanically now so I can start with the cleaning

Drove up Sunday to collect the Atomiswave sd.. gave her a quick cleanup yesterday but it it's great nick tbh and didnt need much. Monitor is superb, the cab was imported from the uk and the guy delivering necked the tube and had to replace it so monitor is mint. Very impressed with the 15hz picture, better than expected, 31hz is incredible. I'll try get some pics of it runnning later with a better camera.
