Got some 3D printed parts from PL1 today.

Here’s the translucent reset button with a flashlight laying inside the case and pointed at it.  I really need to decide on an LED and just go with it.



And here’s the octagon gate installed.  I didn’t test it before I put everything back together.  Oops.  Can’t hit diagonals.  I’ll crack the stick open again and adjust the switch levers, but this definitely does not have the issues that chopper experienced.




A guy on discord that actually does a lot of repairs tells me my graphics issue is a bad connection from the bios chip to one of the downstream chips.  I’m skeptical but it’s worth a shot.

Before you adjust the levers, try the flat blue plate with no microswitch nubs.

That's this model that Chopper linked to earlier with an extra 1.5mm travel for hitting a diagonal.

- 19.62mm point-to-point on octagon (1.5mm more from the center to the gate)
- 18.45mm flat-to-flat on octagon (1.475mm more from the center to the gate)
- 2.16mm thick plate (0.08mm thinner plate)

While you've got the stick cracked open, what is the diameter of the part of the actuator that engages the restrictor plate on your stick?

pbj:
This morning I buzzed out every connection on the bios chip to the downstream chips.  I did not find any breaks.

Opened up the 161 cart and didn’t see any obvious problems.  Pushing on chips and stuff didn’t change anything.

I think at this point I’m going to have to buy a legit copy of one of the glitchy games and see if the problem persists there. 

For now, I put it all back together and I’ll enjoy the ones that work.

Pinball led soldered in and pointing at PL1s translucent reset button.

for historical purposes.

lol, @nitrogen_widget, back in the era when games producers assumed only men (well, boys) could get into computer games.

There is an implied assumption that the gamer would be incapable of snaring a hot chick, so the ad tries to make them feel better about it by further implying that if they get a Neo-Geo they will then have a monster penis (with a face and drool!) that would require at least three hands to properly masturbate.

Geez   :dunno
