Title: How do I lower or raise the volume on my PCB / Is it VR1 tiny screw thing ?
Post by: mrclean on October 17, 2008, 07:36:31 pm: How do I lower / or raise the volume on my Gun.Smoke PCB ? the only moveable part / screw type thing that I see on the PCB is a white tiny piece labled VR1 ? is that the volume control knob ? if not what is it, and how do i lower my volume.. I know how to get to the *test mode* but i can only get it to test all the different sounds in the game I just don't know how to control the volume. Any one familiar with this board ?

Here is an image of the VR1 on the pcb:

I can see how that can be useful, however I'm going to leave it at one specific volume and just be happy with it, if i need to make an adjustment I can always do so I just won't have the same easy access as you showed. totally cool though! :afro: I still didn't get back my capcom classic to JAMMA adaptor to work with the third button for this game so once I get it i'll set the volume accordingly.
