Some combo footage from my Primal Rage board.

They just soldered the resistor that was already on the board, but it was disconnected. I don’t think they had the equipment to power the board up. There’s not alot of options in my area lol

Okay tested the voltage on the battery and that was fine. Got the same error. So I went ahead and just clipped the resistor and it works fine again. Thats odd that they put one on there only for it not to work, but hey I’ll take it. I did noticed signs of where they clipped other resistors. I...

Okay, tomorrow I’ll get the multimeter out and will test the power supply out. I’ll also get some pictures of the resistor to see if I see any damage or if anything else is loose on the board.

Okay, I’ll test it when I get off work tonight or tomorrow since I’m off then. Do you think I should just go ahead and clip that resistor that was put back on since it likely started the whole problem ?

I already found it on an OG board. It’s located in a different spot on mine. 2nd image is from the arcade manual for the resistor in a regular board. The third image is what it looked like before the reattachment attempt on my board. Last picture is one of my board.

I have a multimeter that I got a while back to test the Power Supply, but I don’t have another board. I’m not sure it wasn’t too long of a job, about a min or two, but the pad which the resistor needed to connect to is gone now. Originally the resistor wasn’t attached there at all, and it was...

My new power supply came in and now it’s giving me this screen when I power the board up on the Retrotink. I only left it on for a few seconds. So I’m guessing that I better just clip that resistor to what it was before or did a chip fail or come loose or something?

Okay, resistor is reattached. So now just waiting for that new power supply. Before and after.

Okay, I’m gonna get that resistor fixed first, and see if that fixes the issue and if I get that error message again after I boot the service menu back up. When I take the board to this place Saturday for the resistor I’ll also have them look to see if the chip looks damaged, and hopefully...

I just did a visual inspection of the board just in case, and I noticed the R152 resistor wasn’t connected all the way, so that also may be causing the issue. I’m going to an electronic store this Saturday to have someone soldier it back on because I wouldn’t be able to do it myself also I...

That’s the one I was already using thankfully. I just ordered another one hopefully attaching another wire will fix the banding issue. Crappy cam footage of me playing my Board when the power supply was working . Twitter compression is doing the video quality no favors ...

Ah, I see thanks. The knob to adjust the voltage from my power supply stopping working so I’m ordering a new one. So I’ll test this out when it comes in.

Okay, I’m using someone else case and wiring. How would I go about that with this set up? Do I replace the existing COM cable with something better or add another one ontop of it? I’m not very arcade literate this is my only arcade PCB lol. This is what the current case I’m using looks like.

Here’s how my power supply is set up. New Edit: did a test through the service menu and it said Ram and Rom was good but this is what showed up under the MOB test.

Okay, I got the sound working on my TV and everything working, but I am noticing some banding like artifacts. Is there something on my board that needs to be replaced to stop the visual noise here or is it my cables? It only tends to happen when a sound plays like the characters jumping and...

Oh believe me it looks much better in person than the crappy phone pictures I was able to get. Never thought I’d ever see something like Primal Rage in 4K. The next thing I need to get is a capture card.

Yes, completely changes the color, adds some nice scanlines, changes it to the correct aspect ratio.

I solved the power supply issues by just getting a new SG, and using Meanwell Power Supply so that’s no longer a problem. My Retrotink4K came in and low, and behold they already got a Primal Rage profile up and it looks gorgeous on my 4K TV. Needless to say I’m no longer having any issues with...

Update. I finally managed to snag a the Retrotink4K the other day. Looks like it won’t be shipping till late Feb at the latest. Hopefully now I’ll finally be able to play my board now (in color) when it comes in lol.
