Title: Does this cab really have a 38" Monitor?
Post by: albert_c on November 08, 2006, 01:02:26 pm
What country does this come from?  The sticks look Korean.

I'd love a Tetris Disney.  My family would go nuts over it.

If that really is a 38" monitor it just weigh 1000lb.

Look how tiny those buttons and joys look compared to the screen.   That's a big mo-fo!

It looks like a wide-screen monitor. That's why it's such a funky size. Notice that the game looks a little stretched on the screen. Here's the KLOV write-up for the game (which was never intended for a wide screen).

This game is based off the Nintendo 64 game "Mickey's Magical Tetris Challenge." The PCB even has the N64 logo on it.

 :laugh2:

We have that game, too.  Looks like my hunt for the PCB is over.

I wonder if it uses hardware similar to the Killer Instinct series or the Cruisin' series. Those were also based an N64. Both of those others were hard drive-based games, though.

:dunno

Or maybe if it would be possible to get the PCB and find a way to adapt it for other N64 games.

Why such an advanced chipset for such an uncomplicated game?  :dunno

Not to hijack the thread, but I know someone that is selling the PCB.

Nope. It's an N64 on a jamma board. I bought mine for $45 brand new in the box on eBay from Yaton6464 (the guy that sells the adapters and x-box & ps2 to jamma kits). They're pretty easy to find. I think he does BIN for like $68.

How is the game in there?  I'm probably hoping too much that it's a cart slot.  Is it at least an eeprom?
Title: Re: Does this cab really have a 38" Monitor?

the game is on ROM. Yeah, a cart slot would be asking too much :)

A cart is ROM.  What type of ROM?  Any idea?

It would not be that hard to imagine putting a socket in there and just swapping ROMs in, though at that point it may be easier to hack an actual N64 for a cab.

I want to install a N64 into a Jamma Cabinet.  Does anyone know where I can get an adapter to hook up to my arcade monitor?

You could use the
Arcade RGB CGA to TV and Video Composite converter(NEW)

from www.arcademvs.com
just plug the yellow video cable into the adapter and hook up the monitor to the adapters RGB G sync .  If this is your MK4 machine your trying to do this to, then I would use some 1N4004 diodes inbetween the RGB G and sync wires so you wont get any problems with your jamma harness.

You're bumping a thread that's 1.5 years old that's not on topic for the category (B/S/T) that the thread is in.  You'd be better off starting a new thread in the Main section.
