Confessions of an Arcade Addict: Assault
http://arcadefever.blogspot.com/2012/04/assault.html
Monday, April 09, 2012. Assault is an amazingly fun (and difficult) overhead tank arcade game that has a distinctive style all its own. The original vertical cabinet. Is pretty unique being noticeably thinner, with twin stick controls, making it a rare find outside of its native environment. Being a fan of dual playing. Rather than re-wiring actual connectors under one of my control panels, I just created a little adapter to remap the right stick controls over to the Player 2 inputs, and then mapped the ...

Saturday, March 10, 2012. Received these two Jaleco PCBs over the weekend. Both were actually developed by the team that would later form NMK, and their difficulty prove it, especially Saint Dragon!

Confessions of an Arcade Addict: February 2012
http://arcadefever.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. Sega Naomi video problem. Here is a quick fix to what I believe is a common Sega Naomi video problem. I've seen this happen on two Naomi motherboards I own, as well as on a Hikaru motherboard. Video looks to be smeared or ghosting, like in the picture below. I don't know exactly how it happens or why (I'm too lazy to really investigate at this point), but the problem is with the filter board (not the motherboard). Posted by Arcade Fever.

Confessions of an Arcade Addict: Red Storm 32" LCD arcade cabinet
http://arcadefever.blogspot.com/2012/04/red-storm-32-lcd-arcade-cabinet.html
Sunday, April 01, 2012. Red Storm 32" LCD arcade cabinet. I've been saving up for over a year now to get an LCD cabinet, and sold one of my Astro City's to make room in my garage. The wait paid off last week when I was able to take home a new Red Storm 32" LCD cabinet. This is a sister to the Black Storm 32" LCD cab ( as seen on arcadeotaku. Under the lighted control panel, you'll find a typical Chinese CGA2VGA scaler. This version is seriously budgeted to only take RGBS input and VGA output, althoug...

Wednesday, July 04, 2012. CGA2VGA scaler for arcade PCBs. 03/01/15) There have been a lot of breakthroughs in hacking these Gbones upscalers via Raspberry Pi and I2C connection.

Confessions of an Arcade Addict: August 2011
http://arcadefever.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. I picked up a Monkey Ball GDRom on the shmups forum recently (thanks fuko! Normally this requires the expensive "banana panel", but given I have a Planet Harriers cab with analog stick, I figured it should be compatible - not to mention a lot less phallic than a banana stick. Swapping out the Hikaru for a Naomi GD was no problem at all, everything hooked right up perfectly! Posted by Arcade Fever. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. Bee Storm: DoDonPachi II.

Used xbox controllers were $20 each from gamestop (what a ripoff! 10 project box from Fry's, a fingerboard I had laying around, and two 12 position barrier strips from Radio Shack.
