Just trying to decide the best mortal kombat to put into a dedicated cab.

I was thinking, possible to hook up a ps1 to jamma and run MK trilogy on it, Or even use a ps2 since it will do the same job

JammCon from LastBandit will do all the PS1/PS2 to jamma hard work.

I'd be going for the Jamma pi yoke myself!

Still waiting for cathaldublin to do a review :rolleyes:
(we want video!!!!)

Totally forgot to update the outrun restore, Cab has since been finished

a lot of work went into it, plastics took ages and still on the lookout for a nice condition steering wheel but it was worth it in the end to have a nice Outrun cabaret in the front room...

how do you upload a picture

Andrew76 · 13-04-2017 7:19am

Looks great mozie, well done!

BGOllie · 13-04-2017 12:08pm

a mini. not a lot of these around. nice work, looks mint.
The dashboard on mine's has a couple of cracks and cigarette burns. I like the idea of a mint replacement but the scratches and cigarette marks on it give it a bit of history and genuine arcade vibe .
The galaga cab has a few bits written with a knife on the inside of the panel ("declan + orla" type of stuff and a few other fellas being told they're gay apparently ) that I initially was going to fix but now declan and orla have a whole history in my head and I just can't bear to get rid of them

13-04-2017 12:18pm

The plastics on this were a nightmare too, cracked and destroyed with cigarette burns, alot of plastic weld, rubbing down, filler, repeat et al and finally got it sorted, brought it to a panel beater to get the paint matched and mixed and more rubbing down, spraying and lacquering to finish it off. These outruns seem prone to the plastic cracking and the burns. Wonder where Declan and Orla are now... no names on any of mine but did find a 2 shilling piece from 1955 wedged in the bottom of the cocktail

BGOllie · 20-04-2017 7:46am

made some paper templates just to check everything for size (resized the bezel art up a bit so all the bottom art is visible since ) .. ordered some repro art from muddymusic & waiting for controls and t molding to arrive already

Jack burton · 17-06-2017 9:25am

Anyone here know off hand what the thickest material a sanwa button can clip into?

I just rebuilt a wooden cp with 3mm steel plate recessed into it.

Bit saucy alright !

11-07-2017 12:48pm

It's all gone a bit ridiculous in the past 12 months, still his obviously shifting them, there probably already gone..

11-07-2017 2:47pm

I've brought in 2 candies in the past but that is a joke.
At the end of the day thats a crt and a psu in a metal box.

Makes 2K pins look like a bargain.
2300e for a neogeo 19 thats rough as a badgers arse?
he can go and ****e !

Jack burton · 11-07-2017 3:33pm

He must be selling them though.

I could justify that price if they came newly sprayed and cleaned but they arnt. Mine still had a few spiders living in the back.

11-07-2017 3:48pm

Mine were manky too but he does offer them tarted up for a 'premium' price... shipping seems excessive too considering I've had cabs shipped from elsewhere in europe to my door for 150.

Jack burton · 11-07-2017 3:52pm

Yeah I sent a pin to UK for €100 IIRC

11-07-2017 10:18pm

Just finished up my next project, picked up a naomi cheap from ebay a while back, I made a lowball offer and it was accepted. Cab arrived from italy a few weeks later and was in the usual naomi condition, yellowed, cracks, spills, riveted on coin slot?!? etc but did have a naomi motherboard and zero gunner 2 cart. Picture was too good to be a sanwa 29e31s, I've had a few of these some better than others but I've had alot of problems with them too. Was delighted to find it had a nanao ms2932-s with a toshiba tube.

Anyways set about chopping it last weekend, respraying, filling sanding etc. The corner of the monitor surround was missing a large chunk on one side but luckily when I removed it most of the pieces had fallen inside and were still there, I was able to use an old soldering iron to bond the plastic pieces back together. The chopping process is well documented online and is actually relatively straight forward tbh. Decided to go with new net city livery as I had access to most of it minus the leg artwork which goes for silly money but I might try reproduce that myself further down the line if I can get a decent scan of it. Picked up a dimm across the pond and made up a cf adapter for convenience

forgot how much I missed virtua tennis too...great game!

Very very nice

eddhorse · 12-07-2017 4:45pm

airmax87 · 18-07-2017 12:08pm

you've gotta get that out to celtic throwdown, mozie

o1s1n · 18-07-2017 12:20pm

That's some job! The monitor looks to be in fantastic nick too.

18-07-2017 7:28pm

Thanks guys, plenty of spares around too so another Naomi on the way, going tate on the next one while the chop process and disassemble/reassemble is fresh in my head

Mozie, have you or were you looking in to a Naomi mobo and net dimm setup?

Hoping to do the same myself. Have a few bits in the way over from Japan. Want it mostly to run atomiswave games on my atomiswave cab. Cheaper option than getting atomiswave mobo and carts.

This one has a non-net dimm flashed with the 4.02 firmware so it can support a cf drive in place of the gdrom, theres guides on building the adapter online and then its only a matter of using a program called NaomiCF to transfer the bin files to the cards. You do need an ID number off the cf cards though which is unique to each card and can only be read through an IDE connection, so I nabbed an old pc from recycling centre. Once you get the number you can write it on the back of the card and just use a standard memory card reader for transferring bins from there on in. I've had a couple of netdimm setups before, they work great particularly if you run them off a pi, just make sure the firmware is 4.02 or can be updated to it, anything below 3.17 firmware on the netdimm cant be updated without removing a chip to flash it, anything after can be via a network cable

TechnoFreek · 19-07-2017 1:25pm

Thanks. I have a mobo, net dimm with 3.17 supposedly on the way. Two separate purchases.

I also took a punt on an untested "junk" Capcom io. It was less than half the usual selling price, hopefully it pays off. I figured not too much can go wrong with one of those compared to mobo or pcb say.

o1s1n · 20-07-2017 3:50pm

Question for any sparks out there..

I'm messing about with Wemo wireless switches and the Amazon Echo/Alexa.

So far I've the stereo and an electric stove switching on with voice commands.

I'd love to do the same with my cabs, but am not too sure if a Wemo plug could handle two machines booting simultaneously.

Apparently they can handle 1800 watts. What do you reckon?

I can't really have them both on separate plugs as both machines are powered from one Airlink step down.

The Last Bandit · 20-07-2017 7:47pm

I'd be more concerned with switching on an electric cooker than the cabs with one of those !!
1800 watts isn't a lot for a cooker and they are more of an inductive load which don't work well with crappy little relays.

Electric heating stove, not cooking stove!

Not sure if automation is quite at 'alexa, make me my dinner!' yet.

I'd still be worried about fire.
That sort off stuff is not meant to be used with high load appliances.
Imagine you out and that came on by fault and was pointed at you couch or something?

You should never use plug in timers/switches,watt meters ,extension leads etc with anything whit a heating element.

Optimus Prime · 21-07-2017 8:39am

I've elgato eve plugs and use them with Apple home.

I turn on my two pins with one and 3 cabs with the other. I've philips hue bulbs all over my house so have themes setup. Like if I select the pinball theme all lights in the kitchen go to 5% brightness , some go red some go blue , lights strips over the kitchen counters go red and blue and the pins power on.

The plugs never had an issue turning on the 3 cabs in an extension block in one plug.

Noted! There goes my 'Alexa, play some smooth Barry White, light the fire and set some mood lighting' voice control

Cheers man! That's kind of what I'm looking to do, want to set up an arcade theme with some hue bulbs and link in the machines too.

Maybe have the stereo turn on too and pump out Separate Ways by Journey

Optimus Prime · 21-07-2017 9:22am

Yeh works great for arcade themes etc. I've hue bulbs and motion sensors all over my house now. Been buying them gradually the last two years. The hue go lights are great as well and the light strips.

Sounds great, got any links to where you got them or is it "shop around".
Every time i looked into it, it was a minefield of different ones

Optimus Prime · 21-07-2017 10:07am

I bought them on amazon. You need a hub for the lights. There are starter packs you can get with three bulbs and a hub. I've bought them in sales over the years. Like prime day a couple of weeks ago the starter packs where reduced to 89 sterling from the normal 149. Just keep checking amazon for reductions. They go down in price regularly.

The elgato eve plugs are 45 each but are Apple HomeKit compatible which is what I use as my main control for everything. You use an iPad that's always in your house as the home thing then can talk to Siri to turn stuff on and off if you want but to be honest I never do. Most of my lights come on with motion sensors now in each room when you walk in and are programmed to go off after 15 minutes.

The bedrooms don't have motion sensors though as you don't want the lights coming on while you roll over in bed at night ! So I've remotes on the walls in those rooms , or anyone can use their phone to do them.

eddhorse · 21-07-2017 8:03pm
