My new candy cabinet project
RyogAkari:
found secret pincushion adjustment and 75ohm connector. Still deciding on whether or not to keep monitor. Probably will for now.

Ill probably do some videos of it running computer games once Ive gotten it up and going. Cost isnt for the faint of heart though. Its $275 before international shipping. Works like a dream though. Here is a shot of it hooked up to a dance dance revolution:

Interesting device (surprised by some of the bashing it does for JPAC) .. but I do wonder why you need it? Doesn't it seem a bit of an overkill? In your Blast City, all you're doing is hooking up buttons and joysticks. **insert name of key encoder here** is more than fast enough for any joysticks/buttons game, and will cost you hundreds less. (you don't need 1-2ms response time for any shooter/fighter)
Also, does this device support key shifting? It's a feature I use a lot in my NAC. It minimizes the use of extra buttons preventing your machine having a franken-panel. Here's how I use key shifting: (my shift key is holding player 1 button):
- player 1 + joystick up - pause game
- player 1 + joystick down - exit out of MAME back to Front End
- player 1 + player 2 - coin insert
I assume you're going to be using MAME (and not real PCB's). Since you have a 31khz capable monitor, why would you want to go through a video amp, rather than directly connect to a video card? If you're looking for a good MAME distro, take a look into using GroovyMAME and it's modified ATI drivers. Not only is it easier to setup than soft15, but with a good (semi-modern) AGP video card, you will also be able to play other good PC arcade games on your machine (Street Fighter 4!)
RyogAkari:
JoeB - Its more of a I work with the person creating them, get a good discount, support the cause sort of thing. = )
The standard model minimaid comes with the video amp and components, mine actually will be missing them since I specifically dont need them.
Ill be using MALA to start with as my front end and will expand from there.
Anyway, got some stuff in so on with the update!
Coming along. Will be a couple weeks now till I get to turn the monitor now but still all is well = )
Hoping to get the sticks/wires in soon!
emphatic:
Looks good! :cheers:
