    Do you think that the air forces and space agencies of the world are missing a trick by not employing teenage girls in various states of undress to fly their machines?
    Seems to work out well for the average Japanese shmup!

    Just had my first game on my now WORKING Time Crisis Cab!! The problem in the end was two of the wires coming from the gun wired up to the wrong holes in the connector on the end!!

    no way!
    what a pain!
    how did you figure it out?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Basically they told me haha.. they sent me a new wire to plug onto the end of the gun and it worked. they admitted it was wired incorrectly and where offering me a refund, i wanted the thing working though so asked them to send me a new wire. working perfect now, recoil and all!

    That's great news keith. Did they just contact you out of the blue or did you have your own suspicions and make contact with them?

    I contacted them, I bought a replacement gun board in case that was the issue, it wasnt. I reseated all the game boards in the cage, still didnt work. The game runs fine, the peddle works, when you shoot the gun the screen flashed but when you where calibrating it would not register on screen. The gun was brand new, bought it from arcadespareparts . so i contacted them and they sent me a wiring diagram, i checked against mine and it was wrong. they were going to give me a refund if i posted it back but i wanted to get it going so they tested over there with one of their own and sent me out a new cable, plugged it in last night and it worked straight away!

    Oh noes! Never post a song before the imminent arrival of a cab...its a harbinger of doom! We had to ban people who kept posting I Want Candy when someone was about to take delivery of a new cab, everything kept arriving broke*

    He's probably parked up somewhere having his lunch. Probably thinks it's a new washing machine for your misses so no rush. :)
