new game! (my wife is the best)

[shumph]

my wife was out driving around yesterday with a friend when she saw this on a porch went up and asked if it was for sale, needless to say i now have a millipede game in almost perfect condition. side art is completely unhurt! works perfect, only flaw is the marquee, the print they used is cracking where it wraps around the edges. it even still had the original owners paper with dipswitch setting and whatnot stapled to inside door.

oh she paid 75 dollars u.s. for it  lol

anyone know where i can get service manual for it that shows  schematics and such i found the pot for vert size ( it was to large when i got it)

Very cool

If 3dFE doesn't have a millepede model you should talk to )p(.

Also if there is a bezel on it we should look into adding the bezel to mame

And I don't think millepede is in controls.dat yet.  You can goto fe.donkeyfly.com, register, goto the controls.dat project and add it.  In references put you own the game

There is a Operation, Maintenance, and Service Manual link at the bottom of that page...
(Actually two)

You lucky dog!
You could turn around & sell that @ auction for $400+... (Assuming it's in good shape)
I watched a cruddy smoke stained Centipede go for over $500...

[shumph]

ok seems that is the original bezel

poonga dont quite know what ya mean about controls.dat


and this game is in perfect conditon i cleaned it up is all monitor was filthy sides were dusty, etc

Was announced 2 days ago.  It's a project HowardC and I are working on.  Goto the software forum to get more info.  We are documenting the controls games used and how they relate to mame's inputs.

[SirPoonga]

[shumph]

still waiting

[shumph]

lol go figure

[SirPoonga]

Cool, I reviewed, slightly modified, and accepted the submission.  Thanks.


Millipede is a very good game
Did the game use the volcanos for the fire button or a normal button?

[shumph]

used a single leaf type button, holding it down creates rapid continous fire.

also has midi trackball


im going to be cleaning and oiling the trackball assembly later today if you want pics of it or of anything inside machine i can take them for you
