I will buy one too. Thank you!

Thank you both very much for your replies. That all makes sense and I appreciate the insights. Even after many years in the hobby I keep finding the curiosity never stops.

Hope everyone is well. This might be an entirely random question and not too relevant/interesting to anyone, but I got a Toaplan Hellfire board and the jamma edge was interesting. The jamma connector was silver except for a thin strip of copper coloured metal at the very edge (on both sides)...

Kazuo/Niko, thank you very much for your quick reply and precise answers - that is very helpful indeed. Thanks again.

Hello, hope everyone is well. I am new to TTX2 and have three questions that I have not found a clear answer to in my research. My use case will just be running stock, original TTX2 games (no multi) and no Nesica: (1) Is there any difference between the 208A and 215A hardware in relation to...

Thanks both. Appreciate the quick replies. I shall probably attempt this after the inevitable new year hangover has subsided otherwise my next post could be "how can you glue a CPS3 cart back together after accidentally snipping it in half?" :)

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and happy new year in advance. I managed to buy a SF3 2nd Impact kit that had been on the wishlist for a while! From reading other posts it seems it is safe to remove the battery from the cartridge as this game does not have encryption. This is my...

Hope everyone is well. Acquired a Primal Rage PCB in Japan and it arrived without some ROM seals (3 seals missing in total). For those with the same boards, or knowledge of this very cool game, can you tell me if this is normal (e.g. sent from the factory like this) or something that might...

Saw this on Suruga.com - was rather intriguing. A Vewlix panel modified with JVS IO, power, network cable, test buttons, speaker output etc., and a sticker mentioning Nescia Live. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks

Thanks Dos, that's great detective work. I appreciate it. Hmmm, so this means it was missing the attached Egret 29 cabinet when I bought the panel - I shall have to ask the shop to send it in the post :) What's interesting from the catalogue images is that the error on the printing (side of...

Thanks Dos, that is good to hear. I wonder which cabinet it was made for. I've tried looking at various cabinet panels and can't match it. Probably a good thing as it stops me from spending more to acquire the cabinet! :)

Thank you for the quick reply! I was hoping it was not a repro, but I guess this is the dice we roll with our hobby :)

Hope everyone is well. Perhaps a somewhat unusual question but I was hoping someone knows something about this SF2 control panel. It is shaped differently than the SF2 ones you typically see on Aero City size panels (wider at the bottom below the centre bottom screw) and the Capcom logo is in...

Hi Hursit - well done on the project! I ordered a few and the BR3 panel. I have just noticed, however, on the BR3 panel picture there are no holes for the 1P/2P buttons (like there is for the BR1 and BR2 designs). Is this correct and, if so, can this be used for Forgotten Worlds (e.g. does...

I tend to be rather paranoid about static and use a static discharge plate to discharge myself before handling PCBs (plate is grounded). The one I have also gives you a very loud beep if you are over 500v when touching it! It is both disconcerting and illuminating in equal measure, knowing that...

Thanks Lachlan - each day I learn a little more about this hobby so I appreciate the responses on here. A great community. The hobby is definitely a rabbits hole to fall down. Talking of which, I just know that now I've got comfortable this is not an issue, I'll probably trip and fall when...

Thanks Nem - there are a few shades of dark green, so now it's just my curiosity to find out more about how these things are designed and what the different layers are. The more I find out about our hobby the more I think these boards are actually works of art and quite beautiful! Although some...

Thanks DLoop - it's (maybe) in the post now ;) I know nothing about how the ground or board traces actually work but the darker green line seems to go to the large capacitor. Not sure if this is actually the case, just looks like it does (maybe the dark green is a substrate under the board?)...

Thanks CoolFox - hypothetically, for future reference, if there was a break in a ground trace, would this be noticeable or be a big issue?

Thanks XeD. Appreciate your reply. Is this because there is no actual trace there? Thanks
