After my last operation I lost some of my eyesight. As a result doing solder work is very taxing. Reading schematics even more so. Does anyone have a supergun plan that is a pdf or similar I can blow up on my printer? Most of the info is tiny pictures that don't scale well. I have to blow this up to extra large print.
Sorry to hear about your eye sight. Here is a schematic of a supergun in .jpg format that I have found in my pictures. The image is quite large so it may look crushed in a web browser unless you click the image, alternative if you right click save this to you computer and print this should be just fine for you. I cannot remember where I got this from originally and I have never got around to building one. If you do not fancy the soldering I have seen these pre made PCBs occasionally on ebay Hope that this helps.
You shouldn't need a schematic per se, they're simple beasts. Pretty much the pinout for the JAMMA connector would do you, as long as you have an RGB monitor. Use Chad Gray's old site - it's down now but someone put it into this word document: http://www.jabba.demon.co.uk/retroranch/building_a_jamma_test_rig.doc That's all text and nice, colour coded stripboard layouts. Should be perfect.
I prefer schematics, the mind can play tricks and make you do silly things like put in components backwards, then cap them in epoxy because you're so sure of yourself, lol.
Well, the diagram from SuperPlay above isn't a schematic, either Using schematics you're far more likely to put something in backwards, having board layouts is the easy option! I'd say Chad's diagrams (similar but simpler) are easier to follow as he does it one thing at a time. IIRC there were actual stripboard layouts, too. Here's an example of one: You get a nice description, too - plus info on using MegaDrive controllers and a schematic for that. It was THE website people looked at when building the things in the not-so-distant past!
