They use a Happs PSU. It's a nice arcade PSU that lets you adjust the +5 line (like arcade PSU should). The RGB->NTSC encoder is not Jrok. I am not sure who the maker is. I have personaly heard good recomendations to upgrade the encoder to a jrok.
but isnt this a break of contract i mean you did agree to buy a supernova with ps2 button and connnections and whatever but you did get a broken/sratched supernova without ps2 wired buttons so cant you just book the money back and send the stick back to them ?
i mean i would send it back and book the money back from their account if they are not sending it over i mean now you lost 300 or 400 $ for a not working joystick (at least it doesnt work on your ps2) another thing comes to my mind, i dont know how big this company is but maybe you should try to get some higher ranked person on the phone or by mail (even if you dont bother sending it back) just to let them know how their sales/ service people thread their customers
I stumbled in here because of a link to this thread from NG.com and found I've been named in it (thanks subbie). Well, having owned 2 MAS guns with sticks and also having made a bunch of superguns myself, let me give some of my views/observations/opinions. About the MAS Supergun: - Good compatibility with many PCBs, but you will have to swap harnesses (CPS1/2 issue) - the RGB board in the MAS is custom, I believe by them. I have cleaned up the image in it for someone else by throwing a couple of 75 ohm resistors on the S-Video output. - the power supply is an arcade PSU, not a PC PSU. It is powerful enough to drive any arcade board you throw at it. - considering that the sticks can easily sell for $80-90, the $350 is a good deal on the whole shebang. Not great, but definitely a good deal About the JROK encoder: - This IS made from a Sony video encoder, probably the 2075 (though James scratches the number off :/ ) - the S-Video quality from the JROK is great, but the composite ain't. I recommend combining the Y and C for better composite (I forgot what capacitor to use in doing so) - For the $80 for the JROK you will save yourself several hours of wailing and sorrow of building a circuit from the parts all of which you'll have to locate (I've done this too) - The JROK has very high compatibility with many arcade PCBs Homebrew superguns (personal experience): - made to your specs - compact I make superguns that do S-Video/composite using the JROK and pinned to use Neo Geo sticks and I also do superguns that output component/S-Video/composite. The typical supergun does NOT come with an arcade PSU (less amps on +5V and no -5V), instead using a tabletop PSU like the SC200 by Ault, available from Jameco. This is nicer looking and allows you to use a significantly smaller enclosure for the supergun. This does mean that some things won't work, but the list isn't big (Neo Geo Hyper64 and Neo Geo 6-slot boards come to mind). But it will power over 100+ boards as tested so far. Also, most supergun builders don't install the kick harness for CPS, but that is relatively easy. Here's the supergun I make, with all 3 video outputs: http://www.multimods.com/images/Sales2_06.jpg http://www.multimods.com/images/Sales2_07.jpg http://www.multimods.com/images/Sales2_08.jpg That enclosure is 6"x4"x2".
You're getting it confused. I ordered jamma and ps2 compatible sticks, and they were sent over with only the ps2 buttons, no wiring for ps2. I basically means I'd have to mail the sticks back and wait three weeks for them to come back working on ps2. I'd also have to spend another $100. ($20 shipping, $40 each stick) The sticks work with jamma but bounced around in the box so they got screwed up. This is the fifth time I've probably said this and the last. Just read slower and don't jump to conclusions. D-lite thanks for the info and insight, it will help me a lot.
