Let me know what you come up with. I just won one at the auction an hour ago.Just got this home today and giving it a detailed cleaning and once over before I fire it up.
Holy crap, this is about the nicest condition game I own now. Just beautiful. Many thanks to seller, I'll leave some feedback after I get a few games in.![]()
Now to do some reading on the differences between this setup and Point Blank (besides being VGA) so hopefully I can make up some adapter harnesses to swap back and forth.
From memory this runs on NAOMI through JVS, it has a custom Namco board the VGA is passed through for the gun to work. It's a very different setup to Point Blank which runs on Namco system... 22? Hardware with a JAMMA connection and a 48 pin Namco connection (not sure if this is for gun input or what)Just got this home today and giving it a detailed cleaning and once over before I fire it up.

I'll know for sure what/if mine is missing come Monday or Tuesday when I pick it up (too much rain now). Maybe you can sneak whatever into the Megalo for shipping if need be, haha.
I do have the EMI breakout board with my Point Blank set, which routes the I/O via a bunch of Molex mini fit connections. So the task will be to make adapters that let me connect the cabinet components' existing mini connectors to the PB pinouts.From memory this runs on NAOMI through JVS, it has a custom Namco board the VGA is passed through for the gun to work.

I got some NOS Namco guns from these guys. they have pretty reasonable pricing. https://www.arcadespareparts.com/arcade_parts/shooting_parts.htmlI do have the EMI breakout board with my Point Blank set, which routes the I/O via a bunch of Molex mini fit connections.

I am thinking I will probably need to build out a whole tray to swap with the existing Naomi tray. I do not want to hack up the original cabinet and while the terminal component wiring is similar, the I/O stuff couldn't be more different.
In the end if I can only play Ninja Assault in this cab that is also fine.
Waiting on a crap load of Namco gun parts from various sources right now. Hopefully Betson will come through with the bearing slides, otherwise I'll have to mic what I have and order bearings online somewhere.
