Finally got around to testing the power and having a look at the monitor more closely... Checked the inputs to the motherboard as suggested and they all seem acceptable - 3.42v, 5.14v and 11.96v - so it looks like that isn't the issue. I had a closer look at the I/O board and reseated all the connec...

I opened the cab up this afternoon and the monitor is actually an MS-2932.

I haven't checked any of the power yet - would I at least be correct in thinking that the JAMMA I/O issue could be power related? It seems to come and go, suggesting it's not an error with the hardware.

I think it's a Nanao MS9 but it could be a Sanwa. I'll have to get the back off the cab and check...

I've got two issues with my NAOMI cab which may or may not be related... 1. The monitor goes dead intermittently. Sometimes it doesn't come on at all when I power the cab on. Sometimes it will power on but then goes off with a 'click' after 10-15 minutes. Sometimes it will stay on for hours with see...

I can't get Guilty Gear XX Slash to load from GDROM with an Export BIOS installed.

Just one for me please: CVS-A

I don't suppose you are able to reproduce a New Net City marquee are you?

Can I get some opinions on the value of the following please? Pics of the marquees etc can be seen on this thread on UKVAC (which nobody has replied to! :cry:) http://www.ukvac.com/forum/topic339685_post849246.html" PCBs - all original and fully working unless noted Bank Panic (bootleg with JAMMA ad...

Cool, thanks.

Thanks John. Sticking it in the oven to trying to reflow it doesn;t really appeal to me, so I think I'll just try and get another mobo...

To avoid this happening again, would mounting a 12v PC fan inside the cab help to keep the interior cooler work, wired up to the 12v from the NAOMI wiring?

I had a party a couple of weeks back when it was rather warm outside (and even more so in my games room) and half way though the evening my Crazy Taxi cab flaked out, and from that point on it fails to load the game when switched on. After a bit of investigation I've confirmed that it's the motherbo...

I'm not too concerned whether it's a perfect fit, as long as it works!

So all I need is one of these for each harness I want to make? Plus the pins...

I'm looking to build a couple of kick harnesses to connect to a Namco JVS>JAMMA converter, and I have two questions... 1. What do I need to be searching for to get the correct sized 10-pin molex connector to fit the board? 2. Which end of the connector is pin 1? The one nearest the JAMMA cable? Simp...

Thanks for the advice both of you (especially crunchywasp - very comprehensive!) I will probably leave it for now and stick it out for one with a 15k-capable monitor. There is a NNC on Ebay at the moment with a trisync and a ton of games, but it's a stand-up one so I'd have to chop the legs down mys...

I'm looking to buy my first Candy cab and was originally thinking along the lines of an Egret II or Astro City, but having seen a few chopped NAOMI cabs up for sale, I'm now thinking about getting one of those instead as it would allow me to play NAOMI games as well as hacking in a JAMMA adapter eve...

That's a possibility, eventually...

The 'garage' is being specifically built to be used as a game room so insulation and heating won't be an issue (hopefully!)

Thanks for the advice thus far. I would say an easily rotatable monitor is a prime requirement as I intend to play vertical shooters and horizontal fighting games on the cab.

In a few months time I will have a new garage/games room built and ready to populate with 10-15 cabs. I want at least one of these to be a candy, so as I’m not too knowledgeable about these machines I thought it best to ask some people who are! ;) I’ll be looking for a machine to play fighting and s...

Hello all Some of you may know me from my work with Replay Events - I'm usually the guy mouthing off on stage at events like Replay and Play Expo... ;) I'm taking a more active interest in arcade collecting because I'm about to commence a large outdoor home improvements project which will result in ...
