Oh hell yeah,
Best feeling in the world!
This is my new hobby and i have loved every minute of it.
I want to know how to fix/repair//modify everything on this bad boy.
This is an ongoing project and i have focus so much time on the internals i will be posting a large post once its all finished of the project and it is one of a kind.
Here is a little bit about the machine.
Machine was originally a Karnov from 1987 come from USA and then was converted to High Impact Football.
The unit has sat decommissioned for 12 years in a she in Australia.
I managed to score it for a bargain however nothing was know about the machine other then it had no gamebaord.
I took it home and powered it up using the BRAND NEW stepdown transformer that was in the coinbox lol
The machine was missing the back and coindoor and mechs had been removed.
I wanted this machine to be a beast and be able to run unsupported games such as Guantlet legands.
So i have put the following hardware inside it.
Corsair PSU 430watt.
Asus Rampage x48
Intel Zenon dual core at 5.5ghz
Big cooler
Arcade VGA3000
8gig of Hyperx DDR2 1040mhz
4tb HDD space.
Running Gameex Frontend.
The control panel layout went some serious work and i converted it to what you see below running an IPAC2.
I have also made mounted to USB slots under player 1 and 2 and then i have added 2x 2.5 mil jacks either side of it both completely concealed unless you went looking.
The jacks hold 24volt 2amp
The USB's are directly connected to the computer.
I then got my hands on 2x Namco Guns with Recoil.
I mounted inside an AIMtrack and used a transistor short the coil to ground when fired on the screen (and yes when you shout out to reload it doesnt fire
)
And that is where i am at at the moment.
The unit is about to be dissembled and patched up then sprayed as i do not want to laminate.
Will be keeping the front black and the sides and back white.
Then i will get all the arcade characters i loved from my childhood and nintendo etc etc.
Sick them on the sides to make a cool decoupage then spray the dies and back with industrial clear.
Will look top notch at the end and would love to share it with everyone.
Also Inside the machine i have mounted a 5.2 500wat stereo as it also doubles as a jukebox.
Would love input on this project
