Supergun noob!

[tetsujin]

Right,

Situation is as follows....


I have 3 arcade PCBS I dont want to sell.
I have an old 21 inch Panasonic CRT.
I have no way to play these games on the CRT.


What CHEAP supergun can I get that will allo me to play the following games?

Twin Cobra, Tiger Heli and Flying Shark?


I was hoping to make my own arcade stick as I have enough spare parts to do so (sanwa etc) so whats my options?

Im looking for a nice crisp picture via RGB scart.

Hi Adam,

When I consolized a Neo Geo MVS with seperate power supply last year it was an easy move to modify a standard Jamma loom to create a very simple Supergun to run alongside. The Neo Geo joystick acts as the controller, the power supply to the MVS is also used as is the scart lead (I also have a 21" Panny CRT). So, on the pic the 3 plugs are (L-R), AV to TV Scart, Neo Geo standard controller and 3 pin power supply:

Thanks for the reply mpoilu

Still not sure how or what you have done?

So, is making my own super gun an easy excercise then?

What about not using a arcade stick from an existing console etc and just using my own that I make from arcade parts?

Ahhh right! If you can solder and follow basic wiring diagrams it is easy enough. Just Google or search on this forum and NTSC as you're a member there for supergun and there are tons of topics/how-to's out there but here are a few I have links to:

Your good to me mpoilu!

Will have a read through some!

[tetsujin]

Right I think I am more confussed than when I started!

Can I jsut buy a cheap SG?

And is it possible to make the SG work via RGB scart?

Get a Sigma AV.

Yes, to both but much cheaper (and in many cases better quality) to DIY.

[tetsujin]

right I have done more reading and think the make my own super guns idea is for me.

Thinking of buying a cheap JAMMA loom from Ebay, chopping it up and doing something like....

Would you not be better off with one of these


There are various models, some with Joypad ports and others with wiring terminals to suit yourself.

[tetsujin]

Most likely but cant find anywhere to buy.

Any ideas??

I have one of those which I got with a one slot mobo and some carts.

I haven't tried it to see if it works but I assume it does. You can have it for free if you like.

[FrancoB]

I know you said you would like it by PM but I thought I would post this here if it helps for reference.

I have dug it out and it appears to be a Vogatek MK3.





IIRC the DB-15s are wired for Neo Geo sticks.
