everytime someone solders wires directly onto a jamma port instead of buying a 10$ harness and soldering to the wires onto that that a fairy dies.
seriously though you can just buy a 10-15$ jamma harness off of ebay and this way once the supergun is finished you can use it on any jamma pcb
I think I get what you're saying. I'm probably going to de-solder the connector from the Vogatek and make a longer loom or make an extension from the existing connector. I'm running out of time to play and mess with the thing to be honest. I go to Canada for a month on tuesday and then when I get back I have about a week before I pack up and go to korea for another year so after all this hassle I just want to get the damn thing running and then I'll probably have to sell it or just pack it up and leave it in the attic for a year.
Gross miscaculation on the size of the thing. I'll take the supergun with me (I saw a store full of arcade PCB's there).
Well I'm in Canada at the moment and will be until the 31st. I paid Gianni for the Supergun and Power supply so I guess they'll be waiting for me at home when I return.
so does that mean this thing won't work with a regular jamma supergun? I've never looked into the ng64 hardware before because...well....I'm not a fan of the games on it
I think this should answer your question: ;-) Yes, of course. All arcade boards require a PSU and a display. Most boards won't have a "domestic" connector on them (e.g. VGA) and so need a harness of some kind... i.e. a "supergun".
I think you put the toast down flat, hook the ends of the bread in he metal arms (thus pinning them down securely), then you place that neat metal lid on it and voila, a toasty maker that also imprints the letters S.N.K. onto your bread! Standard kit when I was in the Army :nod: Couple it with an early Xbox 360 and you've got yourself a pretty good breakfast making kit, toasted bread and cooked egg sarnies!
If you're thinking of dabbling in the Neo 64 now is the time. Revision 2 board (JAMMA) with 3 fighting carts all for £35. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=370169879659 I have no idea where my life is going at the moment (may be single in a weeks time ) but if I do stay in england I'll definitely be picking up some more carts.
Woooooo! Got to play it today for the first time, no sound yet though, haven't worked out how to get any either. If I set the dip to MVS/Stereo or JAMMA/Mono I don't get any sound through the audio jack on the Vogatek. Also the game seems to default at a very easy level, with only 30 seconds on the clock and one round, there is no test/service switch on the Vogatek...is there any way to induce the setting menus without them? Also on the base of the board there are 4 dip switches, does anyone know what they do? Only the first one seems to mess up the video and the rest seem to do nothing. I've tried searching the board including the forbidden site at the top of the google search but no avail..
Does your PSU give -5V? If it's ATX2.x, it won't. You need it for sound. Check the -5V is on the edge connector. Check the +12V is on the edge connector. Check the volume pot. Which revision do you have, though? I remember some using the JAMMA connector for sound and some requiring headers. There were even versions that didn't use the JAMMA power lines!! To get into test mode, short the test switch pin to ground :110: I seem to recall there being a switch on the bottom (of the later units, at least) to switch from MVS to JAMMA standard. You'll only be able to use 3 of the buttons on the Vogatek as-is.
Mine is the revision 2 with the JAMMA/MVS switch on the bottom. There appears to be a seperate header for audio but I don't know the connection type (looks like a large CD to sound card cable connector). The volume pot does nothing. I know that the power supply supplies all the voltages for two reasons, one the cable says so and two the Hyper is starting up with blue background and white text which is a sign of the correct power apparently. I fiddled with the 4 dip switches on the bottom. Switch one on on its own makes the screen go black and no startup. All of the switches up brings up a screen which says something about something loading (can't get to it at the moment to check the exact wording) but is then followed a minute later by an FPE error and then a shed load of values which look like register values. (one thing I've begun to note no difference between the driving/fighting boards...maybe these dips have something to do with it, wonder if anyone has experimented with them an alternative cart.) Can't get access to a passive 8 ohm speaker but theoretically shouldn't I be able to hear something through the headphone socket if the system is set to JAMMA for the sound? Or is the sound solely isolated to that seperate header?
Check the voltages at the edge connector anyway - rules out iffy connections. I don't remember it having a headphone socket, but that's very SNK. The header should be one of the molex connectors on the edge, a 4 pin one IIRC. Stereo sound. Do you not have the manual?
