Finally got the adapter... I'd get things done quicker if they didn't keep making me do work just because they pay me to do it.

You are doing NOTHING to eliminate my uncertainty! (kidding)

Noted: there are guides out there that list it as a requirement, I couldn't recall for sure. https://8bitplus.co.uk/projects/netboot-with-raspberry-pi/

How are things wired up? Meaning, are you using a switch/hub or directly connecting the ethernet cable between the pi and the netdim? If I recall, you need to use a corssover cable if directly connecting the pi and netdimm. Do you have another network cable to try, or can you try hooking the pi...

Selling my single board JAMMA Demon Front IGS PGM. Has a bodge wire to address an input trace being damaged (just stopped working one day so I patched around it) and some slight pitting on the JAMMA connector underside. Everything works great, just not doing anything with it at this point (and I...

I seem to not have minions, just a lot of meetings... I did pick up a "Dalmatians" pick label cart which is kind of interesting. Uses EPROMs in standard MVS cartridge boards (I added the stickers which is why they're a bit wonky).

Expect a bit more current draw with multicarts and the like.

They made me an "assistant vice president" at work, not sure what that means but I've had no time to work on this... still trying to carve out a day or so to scan in the manuals.

Looks great, much cleaner than my near failed attempts at boring out the button hole on my Vewlix. Had to put a red 2" sticker over the delaminated areas (the clear plastic outer layer delaminated).

What I have are some old Korg PS1 foot pedals. Things are really sturdy with a tactile switch. https://www.korg.com/us/products/accessories/ps_1/ Mine are "vintage" but it looks like they've not changed much over the years. Used to use them to run keyboard macros for World of Warcraft...

I was thinking of a foot pedal. I have a few around I used to use with a programmable keyboard emulator that have a mini-phono jack connector. Could just wire the (A) button in parallel to a cable running out the back of the cabinet.

Good stuff. However correct me if I'm wrong but these do not incorporate a button do they? Meaning that for Forgotten Worlds you would still need to figure out a firing solution?

I've not seen anyone use those on a CPS1, I know it in theory is possible but had no idea about the wiring.

Just keep in mind they're more of a knob than a spinner... meaning they're not weighted and can't be "spun" only twisted (if that makes any sense). For me this is fine and was easy to adjust to, but some may find that too limiting.

I went with the AxunWorks mini spinners. https://www.axunworks.com/product-p669531.html https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/axunworks-forgotten-worlds-spinners-a-no-shill-review.18173/

The issue is that with the MV1B the normal test points are inaccessible with a game cartridge running. I may have to solder in a bunch of wires so I can test things properly. In the meantime, I've added a four pin molex to the main supergun PCB and confirmed voltages are correct to the JAMMA...

@Hansuke if you don't make progress with this and shipping can be figured out, I'd be interested in trading for a working MV1A board I think I have around here. Wouldn't mind poking at the one you have to see if I can figure out what's going on (think the 1A board I have has a socketed BIOS so I...

Yeah... this one stumped me when posted on Reddit. Curious if anyone here can figure out what's going on.

I may need to solder in some wires to some points in order to use an audio probe... will give it a try this weekend. At the YM3016 and YM20610 I'm thinking (although the later is accessible from the back of the board).

Another option would be these adapters to flatten out the board. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803831990548.html I kind of prefer them since it only requires modification of the main board and leaves the cartridge slot riser stock.
