Two hours worth of wiring / mounting later...
SHE'S ALIIIIIIVE!
Only thing left to do now is to wire up the CP to the mini-pac and configure that, then it's just a wait for a friend of mine (who works in a sign making company) to cut the perspex for the screen and create the marquee for me.
Is it wrong to be kinda proud of myself right now? Never done anything like this before.0 -

After losing the bidding on a Mini Cute chassis on YHJ last week for Y 11000 that I won but somehow because of a rare glitch still lost and seeing others pass me by without a chance to bid on them another one and this time tested at a repair shop before going on sale emerged and no one made a bid but me :eek:

Yeah thanks !
Strange thing is I was looking for a Cute chassis a long time and saw only one pass by in the last 18 month or so and I lost that one because the seller doesn't want to sell to a foreign proxy service .
Now suddenly five in a row from different sellers, this seller didn't want auto bids also but I had time to use a manual bid via Shopping mall Japan .
The feckers try to keep the gaijin out :mad:
Never rains but pours.
Haven't checked out that Shopping Mall, I registered with a proxy service donkies ago run by a nice chap over on shmups, gajinpunch I think? At the time prices on YAJ were mad though so never ended up buying anything.
On a different note, do you have any scoring tips for VP1 NV? Just put it in the cab last night. Obviously collecting medals is important but do you have to get every single one in a level to keep a chain going or anything? Seems like you need to memorise when and where those medal ships appear and shoot them when you're right beside them to nab all the medals.
Only thing I've spotted on the first level is one of the medals gives 30k if you don't get it straight away.0 -

Made some progress last night... wiring control panels is alot more time consuming than I realised.
The arcade unit is fully functional now. All that needs to be done is sorting out the software and getting the boot straight into game interface sorted out.
Ohh and I still need to cut a gaping hole in the back plate for a case fan and some additional USB and audio ports (so that I can easily plug in headphones when herself has gone to bed).
Starting off whilst watching some Doctor Who:
The wiring tested, complete and mounted back into the cab:
I may or may not have stayed up well past my bed time last night testing the unit out. Good thing is the hardware that I put in there is decent enough to play Sonic Generations and Street Fighter IV so that's good. :-)0 -
So I got a new stick in the post and had my first go at playing around with installing them last night. Turned out to be far easier than I thought. Not without it's problems though, all down to my own stupidity!
First issue - I accidentally ordered an LS-56-01 rather than an LS-56! It has a little molex type connector coming out of it with wires. Doesn't have terminals going to the microswitches like a regular stick.
However I connected the one ground wire up along with a directional wire and the input worked, so I may be able to get it going. Maybe daisy chain the ground wire along?
Second issue - mounting plate! I had the bright idea of just removing the mounting plate from my old LS-56 and using it with the new stick.
Unfortunately the holes don't line up
the old stick is much much bigger so the mounting plate doesn't fit the new stick.
Just after ordering an MS plate, should work.
Fun process though, I can see why you change sticks so much Andrew76 0 -

Had to go searching as I was convinced I had suggested you needed the LS-56 and MS plates (found them in your Pony thread). No matter anyway, all part of the fun.Yep, was just talking to Andy this morning. I thought they'd sent me the wrong stick (LS-32-01 rather than an LS-56-01). He was going to send me another for free.
I sent him on a photo and it turns out Seimitsu use the same branded PCB on the bottom of loads of their sticks. So it was in fact an LS-56-01 they'd sent me. Even took the time to explain to me how the number branding works.
Sound chap. Will continue to give them all my business!
Aye you'll see that alot, the 32 PCB being used in other sticks - I guess the PCB is not the important part when it comes to feel etc.0 -
Yeah I couldn't remember where you posted that! Found it in the end before buying the MS plate
Buying the LS-56-01 was a complete accident, I was looking for the standard 56. Amazing the difference a little '01' can make 0 -

For anyone who wants to read my attempt at a write up on fixing my time crisis cab, you can check it out here..

Apologies for incoherent writing, bad grammar or spelling in advance. :pac:
Fair play for all the work you put in, that is now a thing of beauty. I especially loved the fix you did for the gun mount
Can't even begin to explain how crazy jealous I am. And that last pic of all the cabs lined up? As Jay from the Inbetweeners would say;
'Frothing at the gash!'0 -
