MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOO!!!!!
« on: July 27, 2016, 09:26:22 am »
Lol, seriously though, after finishing up the Neo Geo, my next project is a Mortal Kombat 2 restoration. I got it in the same lot as the Neo Geo, and it was converted to a Rampage World Tour. It was working when I picked it up, but obviously it has a few issues in the monitor.  Well, I sold off the Rampage board, and got a MK2 board to go in it. Then I found out that it has a separate sound board so I picked up one of those too. I still need to get the cable that connects them. Well Last night, I tried to start up the MK2 board in it, and nothing happened. I tried another Jamma board I had(Class of 1981 Ms Pac Galaga), and it produced a high pitch whine and some screen garbage. I tested both the boards in my Simpsons cab and the Class of 81 board worked fine and the MK2 board ran through some test menus and then came up with a screen that said CMOS Coinage. Any ideas what that means? I am assuming that I need to adjust or replace the switching power supply in the MK2 cabinet. Pics of her as she was when I picked her up are attached!

CMOS coinage means youre using the operator menu to configure coin settings (and other settings) . You can change it over to dip.  You should replace the CMOS battery though.


Make sure the power supply has -5V , MKII and many other midway boards require it.  I tend to replace the power supply in cabs I get, so I cant advise against doing that, it will probably fix the issue instea dof mucking around with the one you have. Again, make sure the new one has -5V

Well, I finally ordered a cable to connect main sound card to my PCB.  It took forever to find one on ebay, so I am glad that it is on its way. When it gets here, I will swap out the switching power supply and hook up the sound board and the Main PCB and see where that leaves me.

I needed to replace mine on my Smash TV and Bob Roberts made one to order.  Works great.  Just thought that it could be an option for you if the one on ebay doesn't work or something.

So I have swapped out the switching power supply and installed the pubs. I tweaked the monitor, and replaced the battery. Once I hooked up the control panel it fired right up! No sound so I guess that I didn't hook up the power to the sound board.

And now what everyone has been waiting for, PICS!

After adjusting the screen:




The Sound Board. That camera flash makes the light look like it is on, but it is not:




The Main board and new Switching power supply. I will clean this up once it is all working:



Lots of Wires! Anyone see the power cable for the sound board in there? I can't imagine that they take it out and leave everything else!

sound board gets power from the connector on the main boards. You'll also need a volume pot.

So there should be a power cable that runs from the main PCB to the soundboard as well as the ribbon cable?

Cool. I just ordered a cable off of ebay, so hopefully when that comes in, the sound board will work and I can get to working on the artwork for this awesome machine!

So I got the power cable in Saturday, and I am having some issues. I am not getting any sound, but the light comes on and it gives me a beeping noise. Then the light will go off and come back on with another beep. Any ideas?

Negative. You do not need a volume pot for MK2.

As for the sound issue. When you say you get a 'beeping noise,' exactly how many do you hear? The number of tones will tell you which rom is bad. 1 tone means everything is ok. 2 tones means the U2 sound rom is bad. 3 tones means the U3 sound rom is bad, etc. Post up a video if you can so we can see and hear what the issue is.

It is just one tone, but it will do it every 45 seconds or so when I first start it up. I will try to get a video up tonight.

One tone means it's ok. Does the LED light up? Sounds like it's resetting. Make sure your ribbon cable is on correctly at both ends, i.e pin 1 of main board to pin 1 of sound board, etc.

Yes, the LED light does light up. I was out of town last night, but I will try and check it tonight.

Alright. I finally got some free time to work on this, and I can say that the problem was that I had e ribbon cable on backwards in the sound board. Flip it around and it worked perfectly!


Now my my issue is that the the player 1 down isn't workin. I tried it on a different switch, but it still didn't work. Any ideas.

touch the wire to ground (preferably one that you know works), does it work?  Yes = switch issue No=follow the wire back to the jamma connector and look for cuts, breaks, etc

I tried the wire on a switch right next to it that I know works. Sadly that didn't fix the issue. I will have to try to follow the wire tomorrow and see where the issue with it is.

It was really great hearing that music pumping out of the arcade machine again!

I have a replacement bulb and starter for the light and I will install them and the new marquee tomorrow.

So I bought a new bulb and starter for the light, and installed it, but then I realized that the wires running to the light fixture were missing!  :dunno Anything special about that wire?

I did get the new marquee in there though.



I got the marquee in a lot deal off of ebay. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I thought it was a reproduction marquee, but it was one printed on adhesive backing and had no stability to it. So I got some acrylic from Hobby Lobby and tried to put it on that. I got a lot of bubbles doing it that way, but it turned out alright. I still need to trim it down a little, but it looks so good in the machine already!

Nothing special about the wire, 16 gauge primary wire you can get from Home Depot will work. If there's nothing running to the fixure you'll need to run wires back to the power supply.  The wiring on the fixture should look something like the pics below.

Well, I have got one side stripped of the black paint. It looks pretty good, but the other side seems to have some sun fade on it. I will post some pics soon.

I still need to get the other side finished, but I am proud of how this turned out. It is 100X easier to remove the black paint off of this than it was my Galaxian.

Thanks! I don't expect the other side to be as nice, but it should be the nicest machine that I have had to date.

Well, this Saturday, I took advantage of the last warm day I will have for four months, and stripped the paint off the other side and the Control panel. I have new t molding for it, but my CPO and Bezel art have been stuck in the holiday shipping glut. They spent a week sitting in IL!  Once I get it all in, I will take some more pics.
