I know close to nothing about arcades, let it be modding or hacking them. Found this on a local ad. The seller says it's a Virtua Striker 3 arcade kit, for use on arcade machines. He also adds it was built specifically for soccer games aswell (which I presume to be for NGC and not any other arcade one besides VS3. And even that, where's it)?. I'm not aware of any arcade system that uses a stock NGC and that board doesn't look like to me to be anyway near a Triforce system. What's this exactly? Just a wiring to use a NGC inside an arcade (on the bottom middle part of the kit, it looks like something ready to recieve a slot pin connector), along with an arcade machine peripherals (monitor, sound and control panel. maybe coinslot)? edit: despiste the homemade look of the setup on a wooden board, the sticker reads: Kit GC ????? WARRANTY Until ??/??/?? MR DIVERSOES LDA (which is an arcade and amusement machines distributor)
Yep, sets up a retail gamecube with a more standard connection so that it can be used with arcade machines. Some of these sorts of things have timers that reset the console after a period of time. Not an official piece of hardware by any means
Yes, defensively not official. Similarly, there are many bootleg Dance Dance Revolution kits that utilize a timer PCB. It would composite a coin counter image onto the video output and convert the final output to 15KHz. Namco actually bought several hundred bootleg cabinets running these these in 2005, but many were eventually converted to run In The Groove 2.
It must be a PAL Gamecube, since it appears to be using a SCART cable - and NTSC machines couldn't output RGB unless you modified a component cable. The one in the picture appears to be a normal SCART cable.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite. I uses an original Nintendo RGB cable, those a worth millions nowadays. I would buy it and scrap it for parts.
