Cave pcb need 5+ adjustment? or?

Postby joeks » October 23rd, 2009, 8:11 pm

I got a Mushihimesama board today,
but when i powerup the pcb, a led on the pcb (D6) flickers and i get a black screen with only 1 or 2 random moving lines on screen :(
Any idea? Could it be that i have to adjust my +5v setting on the power supply? or am i missing something?

My other Cave pcb's (Espgaluda en Esprade) work perfectly on this Sega Astro City cabinet.
I do have the original small psu in the cab by the way.

Thanks in advance!

There's someone getting the same problem here :

The different Astro City PSU :

He had to change his PSU for a more powerfull one ( NVS 4000 ) for the Cave System 3 , everything else ( CPS2 etc .. ) was working great.

It seems that " some " Astro PSU are not powerfull enough :?:

Hi,

I recently had the same problem with a 7AN max Sega PSU (NAC).
Do no hesitate to test your PCB with ATX PSU !

Great Setsuan!
So i can hook up a normal computer ATX power supply to power up the pcb?
Any schematics for that sowewhere? Altough you picture is very clear.
Don't want to ruin my new Muchihimesama pcb :)

Thanks!

Hi Setsuan, it works! :)
Thanks again for making this guide. I just tested my new Mushihimesama pcb and it works like a charm :)
Only no sound at the moment because the ATX-hack only used the +5V, +12V and GND for now. But that's no big deal, at least i could test my new pcb.

You can have sound with this hack. You just have to plug it directly to your amp (from the jamma). I had the same problem before and it woks now ^^
