Hi new thread. Suggestion for first post about CD generation consoles- use good media. I had many issues with my Turbo Duo until using goon recommended media which was CMC Pro something, I ended up buying these and my life is better for having played through Rondo of Blood https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00065DGYQ

Anyone aware of incompatibility between MVS unibios 3? Almost pulled trigger on this combo and seller says they don't work together for some reason.

Alucardd posted:If it is a MV-1AX it is giant pain to replace because it is AES style soldered SMD. The MV-1B and -1C are also SMD but have a very easy adapter board that just requires lifting 2 pins (https://www.neogeofanclub.com/projects/neobiosmasta-og).

Alucardd posted:Yeah I use a 161-in-1 more or less fine on my MV-1B with unibios 3.2. Anyone have a source for 3.3, or do you have to actually send a chip to some guy in the UK to do it?

falz posted:I just pulled the trigger on my MV-1C + 161, it appears to have unibios 3.0. 3.3 appears to be the latest, but there doesn't seem to be a download source. Maybe ill get an EEPROM programmer if the one it comes with is flashable and try out 3.2. Still curious of above if anyone knows. This wiring looks a bit.. sketch. I was shocked to discover that one can fit an MV1C into a Genesis model 2 shell. Anyone know how one can cut that much of a gaping hole in plastic and keep the edges clean?

I saw that mentioned in some YouTube dude video recently wrestling with gaming maybe? I think he had the same question with no answer. Edit: Yeah it's in here at about 11:30 and 20:10: https://youtu.be/XsQY0YEqzYo Sega owed them for losing a lawsuit against Atari. Atari probably just gave up on the jaguar before those games were ported. Oh and the jaguar had a 68000cpu and some devs we're lazy and just used that, the Genesis titles would've probably been just straight Genesis ports. But maybe without music because lulz jaguar. falz fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Oct 25, 2017 |

The pinball museum us amazing. Its a huge warehouse of pins going wayyyy back. Even if you're not that in to pinball it's a must stop. There's quarter machines and you just go play what you want, or just stare in awe of some of the things they have. Lots of one off prototypes in there too. http://www.pinballmuseum.org/ I was most amazed by some really old 'baseball' pinball game where there's a doll sized guy in there that swings a bat when you hit a button. When you play, some vacuum suction thing makes the ball hover in air for you to hit. And this thing is like from the 40's or something.

And Dreamcast (same generation). See the MVS ports like last blade 2, mark of the wolves, etc. Many have a secret button combo to boot in to 240p even. Also plenty of emulation happened on PS1/Saturn for 80s arcade stuff like the Midway compilations.

I always assumed they were emulated. Maybe they weren't? Neo Geo was moto 68000, curious what about Naomi hardware made them native? Naomi was just a Dreamcast (MIPS) with more RAM right? Dreamcast could emulate PS1 stuff, like Soul Edge, which was in the arcades. Does that count? Edit: Googling more and more I cant find anyone saying they're emulated, so I guess the SNK titles were probably ports. There does seem to be lots of 50 in 1 MVS neo geo ISOs though, Id assume that's running some homebrew unofficial emulator. falz fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Oct 29, 2017 |

GutBomb posted:Does pseudo saturn require a swap trick? E:beaten. I found most YouTube videos and descriptions of the swap trick to be pretty terrible. Also it depends on your Saturn model. On model 2 it requires opening the case to tape the lid sensor to make it think it's closed, boot with burned disk, swap to real disk at Saturn logo, then swap back once disk starts spinning faster. Or something. falz fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Nov 1, 2017 |

A few folks in here have jamma cabs or super guns. Any of you have Pandora 3/4/5 xxx in one? Curious how older games such as burger time/joust/etc are on it. I saw some places that there may be built in lovely emulation scaling. I'll be playing on cga output so I don't think it would affect me but I'm not sure. There's a 60 in one that seems like it would be better suited but it's for a vertical monitor.

MURPHAGATOR! posted:I have a pandoras box x, the 60 in 1 and the 19 in 1. The pandoras box is an absolute crapshoot for the listed games. Some run fine, others have weird emulation and/or some issues (including to the point of being unplayable), and some just dont run at all. It also tends to crash for me after an hour or so. I dont play many golden era games though, I could check on those when I get home. Overall, I would recommend building a mame machine over the pandoras box. Thanks. Yeah if there's any chance you can fire up Burgertime and see if it seems normal to you that'd be appreciated. There are tons of reviews/youtube vids of various pandoras boxes but this game is key to my wife's happiness of having this arcade cabinet sticking around.. Could you also chime in on how long it takes from power up to a menu? I'm assumiung its some cell phone or linux thing in there so guessing it would take 30seconds to boot or something.

XtraSmiley posted:No sorry, the XX in 1 NG are terrible as well, with hosed up sound, poo poo games, graphic problems, missing levels, and oh, they might even shorten the life of your system. Also Neo SD sounds like a good idea, but aren't loading times literally many minutes? Maybe that helps with OCD game switching I guess. Re my earlier questions about XX in 1 to play Burgertime, since they all require emulation, maybe something ilke this Rpi-Jamma board is the best choice as I'm primarily interested in pre-16 bit stuff. https://www.highscoresaves.com/arpicade-raspberry-pi-multicade-jamma-pcb-adaptor-for-arcade-multigame.html

Folks here may be interested in following this project: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52172 It's taking a cheap $20 cga/vga scaler (gbs8200/gbs8220/newer HDMI version) and tacking on a rpi/Arduino to directly control the underlying Trueview 5725 scaler chip via i2c bus. It has fixes to some PAL bugs, allegedly scales better in a more pixel perfect way, reduces original 36ms latency in half (around where xrgb mini is) and a few other things. The thread itsself has been around for like 3 years but just this week the now currently active Dev/hacker released some code To make it all work automatically with an Arduino attached instead of having to muck w controls manually via a rpi. https://github.com/ramapcsx2/gbs-control I have the scaler already but not an Arduino but intend to get one to test. Seems like a decent $40 total alternative to the things that cost 10x that.

d0s posted:I haven't watched S2 (and know nothing about it) but is it really this bad? I remember the detail in S1 actually being pretty good, like it was set in 1983 and actually looked like 1983 in a small town (closer to the 70's) rather than the typical "generic 80's" atmosphere in some throwback stuff where you have things/styles from 1989 in the early 80's. Without spoilering anything it was generally fine/authentic outside of those things. They had a large music budget and I found my self double checking release dates on a few songs but they were all fine.

eshock posted:Darksoft's MVS flashcart went up for presale yesterday. So far they're only available to the first 100 people who posted in his preorder thread over a year ago, but hopefully it means they'll be open for general sale before the end of the year. It looks surprisingly slick, I didn't realize there were two in the works. It only takes a few seconds to program compared to the other one, which takes minutes. Also virtual slots are kinda neat. Should be more worthwhile once the AES one comes out, for me at least. Here's his demo video: https://youtu.be/Y_WYlPuEkXk

They're much cheaper to make, especially if you're fine with keeping RGB output and not re-encoding it to svideo/etc. I have no clue how they seem to sell on ebay for $500+.

Look at this guy's imgur for the most basic bare bones version as far as the electronics go: https://imgur.com/a/aJeU3 so MV-1C ($80) + neobiosmasta ($13) + universe bios ($32) + misc ports/wires = $200ish, minus joystick? Case options are maybe the hardest thing IMO, this guy's seems to turned out well in a Hammond 1455T2201 project case though. Also the ones inside Genesis model 2's are hilarious.

GutBomb posted:I've been burning ps1, Saturn, dreamcast, tgcd, and Sega CD games for the past year, at least 300 discs this year, and I just use cheap Memorex discs from target and a $20 LG usb burner at max speed (variable macinf at 20x) and have burned maybe 10 discs that didn't work and most of those were bad images that burned fine when I downloaded a different image. It's not that complicated. My Turbo Duo and Sega CDs were sketch until I got the better media, so it's definitely a legit issue. On another Dreamcast topic, don't forget that some of the fighters have a secret button combo to press while powering up system to force them to 240p mode.
