just got mine today. I can not take them apart till 12/25 :angel: took all my skill just to get my wife to let me test them out. the steering in pole position was very good. I do not think the picture was as good as mame but darn playable I have wondered about power other than battery I happen to have in my attic 2 Atari monitors that works perfect for the 2 namco joysticks |

FYI I've hacked several of the Jakks original Namco 5-in-1s, and each of them required that the power LED be kept in the circuit, don't throw it away just because you don't need/want a power LED. If it's not in the circuit the video becomes distorted. For Power, just a simple 6volt DC power supply; I think I used a 600ma, which worked fine. As others have stated, every solder point on the PCB is clearly labeled ("left,", "right", "fire", etc.) so it's pretty easy. |

So how would you power everything up? The same way as normal arcades? I've never used a T.V. before as the monitor so I'm thinking maybe you have to keep the remote control handy? I guess the same goes for the 5-in-1 joystick, does it make sense to add an extra button on the outside of the cab to power up the joystick as well? Any thoughts? I was thinking maybe the T.V. & joystick have separate buttons, that way the kids could watch television or play the arcade. |

Is there an RCA to VGA adapter that is REASONABLY priced? I'd like to use one of the bazillion monitors lying around my house, but for the cost of the adapters I've seen....I might as well just use an old PC and vantage :( |
