Project: Punch Out

(1/4) > >>

FrizzleFried:
I'm getting a Punch Out cab that has been converted to a Relief Pitcher today.  The plans are to restore this bad boy back to a Punch Out or Super Punch out.  It has two working monitors... I'll likely need: Harness, PCB, control panel, and art work at bare minimum.

Anyone have a source for any of these parts.  Also,  which is a better game in your opinion?  Punch Out or Super Punch Out?  I'd LOVE to do a Multi Punch Out... guessing that would require both boardsets anyway.

Super Punch-Out is more fun IMO, but more difficult. SPO is faster paced (going back to PO feels like you are fighting in slow-motion); saves the top KO times for each opponent along with a hit percentage ranking list; has more interesting (and dangerous) opponents; and adds the "duck" feature. They are both great games though; you can't go wrong with either one.

My machine is in SPO guise, and I also have a PO board that I can easily swap into it. I don't know anything about having them both hooked up in order to be instantly switchable (there have been various threads here and there about doing such a thing though). 2600 was working on a Double Punch-Out boardset, but I don't know the status of that.

There is a good chance that you'll need a power supply too. Relief Pitcher is obviously running off an ordinary JAMMA-type switcher (which can be used with Punch-Out if you do some custom wiring); and the original PO power supply probably isn't in there. If you are lucky, at least the PCB cage will still be in there. It wasn't with my PO machine which had also been JAMMA-tized; I had to find one on eBay; but fortunately I found it included in box of PO parts including the power supply, complete PO wiring harness, and a few other things, so getting all that stuff at once saved on shipping costs.

Does regular Punch Out / SPO save high scores by chance?

Yeah, as long as you have batteries installed (3 ordinary AA batteries). PO saves all 50 scores permanently while SPO only saves the top 20 scores permanently (the remaining 30 scores reset to default when the machine is power cycled). In addition to scores, SPO also saves the top 3 KO times for each opponent, and the top 5 hit percentages. I maxed out the top 5 hit percentages all at 100% on my machine so that particular list became irrelevant.

Welp... the cabinet hath arrived.  I gave the guy an extra $20 for delivery as my arcade hauler is down (power steering leaking)...

Overall it's in pretty good shape.  The paint is decent even.  It will need new T-Molding.  The monitors are bright and clear with a bit of burn-in up top (but not terrible) and very minor burn down bottom.  These are updated 20EZ's evidently as they have a nifty degauss button on them and everything.   They both still had the friggin' FUSE PACKS the monitor originally came with taped to them! 







The inside was clean and it was obviously converted cleanly...unfortunately that means no cage... no Punchout power supply... etc.



The Bottom of the Ninth works fine... and it even came with a couple Wico leaf-switch sticks (one blue one red).  I'd never played before but the game is pretty fun.  There's absolutely no reason to have both monitors playing it though....oh well.



...that show was pre-clean up and adjustment as well.  Oh...I also have the marquee,  plexi for the marquee and the bracket (no screws).
