That's so rough I can only hope it's not what went into test cabs.

Crossposting here because it's a niche item that may be of interest here - I bought a Pandora's Box 6 for my Astro City that, unfortunately, doesn't work because of the way the seller wired the cab (no Jamma power). If anyone is interested, the SA Mart link is below! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3958153

dude if you can play other jamma games in your cab, it's wired correctly for power. They all need power. The problem is those pandoras boxes require a different pinout exclusive to them (e: but I think it's just some poo poo with buttons in weird places, if it's not working at all, the pandoras box is probably dead lol) if you really don't have any power on your jamma harness there's something very wrong d0s fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Feb 15, 2021 |

The problem is those pandoras boxes require a different pinout exclusive to them (e: but I think it's just some poo poo with buttons in weird places, if it's not working at all, the pandoras box is probably dead lol) When I got the cab, I was told I would be given a PC connected to the jamma board, ready to go. This ended up being a total piece of poo poo, literally cobbled together from trash, that turned on all of twice. I never was able to get any kind of guidance because the seller speaks very little English. I probably would have left him a brutal review but honestly, the cab itself is in great shape. First few Pandora Boxes wouldn't turn on when put in the jamma slot. Eventually I figured out that if I put in a cart in the jamma slot that would also accept a separate wall AC adapter, the cab would accept it, thus allowing me to use my very expensive paperweight. It's odd because you don't really switch anything on at the cab level, you just plug in the cab's cord, plug in the cart to jamma, then plug in the cart to an AC adapter and the screen and controls just "come on." That last step really is key, nothing works without the wall plug. I ran into similar problems with the light in the marquee, so I mounted an aftermarket LED bar from Amazon inside, closed it up, ran the plug out the back, and now I can actually select the color of the light as a bonus. It does have the thing where you can only use four buttons, but other than MK and SF, that hasn't really been much of an issue. I do wish I could just use the loving thing as intended. Maybe I'll dig up and post some of the wiring photos I took so you can all stare in equal parts disgust and awe. I wouldn't mind trying to get some 3D games working with all buttons, but I'm so afraid that if I try to change much of anything in there I will either fry my cab, myself, or both. EDIT: Here they are. That thick black cord is actually a female plug for a PC's ATX power supply. I wish I were kidding, and I wish I knew how to just change the fucker back.

Something could be wrong with your AC wiring to cause the marquee light to stay off or it could just have a bad bulb or starter etc. Time to multimeter. Just to be sure, you’re turning on both the rear switch and the power supply’s power switch? Both need to be on. That AC cord is hacked in, no doubt about that, but if they just spliced into AC wiring and didn’t cut some to connect it then it might be fine to leave it. I’d yank it out and patch the splice personally. Assuming you are getting AC power, the black box on the bottom is your power supply, and two connectors aren’t connected to it, so I think that’s causing you to not get power over JAMMA. There are other things that connect through the power supply though so I could have that wrong, don’t have one in front of me to look at. I don’t know much about Pandora but they are wired weirdly, you can get a JNX Atlas to get a normal Jamma + kick harness connection from it. Then there should be a small harness floating around for the bottom 3 buttons per player (the kick buttons in Street Fighter, hence being called a Kick harness), if not you will need to buy wiring for one. Sega cabs are common so that should be simple to buy then connect. DanAdamKOF fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Feb 17, 2021 |

Speaking of harnesses, I'm actually going to start selling Hand Crafted Artisanal arcade harnesses/adapters of all kinds, built with all genuine TE/HRS/JST/Molex/etc parts and crimped with the correct OEM tools (it's been an adventure tracking these down for all the different connectors used in arcade/supergun world, and I'm still searching for a few). The MK harness guy a few pages ago sparked that idea and I'm getting everything set up. Prices will be reasonable (way better than that French guy on ebay for example) as I have a day job and just want to do it as a productive hobby/side thing. Instead of a stock list of built items I'll just build whatever is requested, from standard stuff like control harnesses for specific cabs to whatever you can dream up. I'll have an SA-Mart thread in a few weeks along with threads on offsite forums like A-P, but goons get discounts per tradition.

I put together something stupid while I order the rest of the parts to put a 24 inch IPS and a mister into a Space Invaders cocktail I picked up. I mounted a Pioneer Elite plasma I picked up for 25 bux from FB marketplace vertically and have set it up for shumps and vertical switch games. I think this TV was $5k when it was new and it still looks beautiful.

Based on your frugalness I'd say that's DDP running on MiSTer and not the real PCB, so bravo for saving money and doing it right, it looks great on that TV! I love that once $$$$ TVs can now be had for so cheap or even free. I need more freaking space...

 It weighs 80 pounds, so I mounted it on a 10 foot piece of stainless steel channeling cut in half. The channeling is the just dropped through the top of the tv stand and the weight holds it together.

I've never had a plasma, but maybe google field of view or similar for that model if issues. My first few HDTVs were DLP and you absolutely could not view things properly from "under" ie if you were laying on the floor. You could also not 'tate one of those so it wasn't a big deal there. I could see that some models of any flat panel types may have some polarization layer for some reason.

I googled a little and it was some weird think about the gas potentially changing phase that was mostly a cya for sales people combined with most TVs being weighted for upright orientation and potential stress issues with laying it down.

I'm not sure you will damage a plasma by tate-ing it, considering Panasonic used plasma for their really high end commercial digital signage-focused monitors which were designed to be mounted every which way

It's got a 160° viewing angle and I am running a retroarch build that's been pre set up for low latency shump settings. Been happy with how it's running and it definitely looks fantastic. Only have run into a couple games that are running into emulation lag in full screen and one of them was Moonwalker, so no loss there.

from everything I've been able to find, tilting a plasma forward or back has a very, very small chance of damaging one of the layers. I haven't found anything against rotating sideways.

Got a problem with launchbox. When I try to launch a game in mame it flashes up initialising then goes back to launchbox. If I load the game in Mame itself, it launches. Then if I go back to Launchbox it will now work. Any idea on a fix?

Is there any mame rom renaming tool out there written in clear english that works if I have a pile of roms that are all abc.xyz.randomcharacters.zip on the outside and the correct files on the inside? mame doesn't seem to want to launch anything that's in an incorrectly named zip, at least that's what my assumption is when it says everything isn't found despite being in the right spot.

You won't get an email until it is time to pay, but if you see the screen that says confirmed, you are good to go. He paused the forms to make sure he had enough stock to meet demand, he said he'll open again afterwards, I'll try to keep you guys posted. Just as an option, there are other good SGs I recommend, (such as this one, get it in black, it looks tons better: http://www.axunworks.com) and also I always sell my prior one when I get a new HAS and I don't add any profit to it, I just sell for exactly what I paid, so there is that option as well. Mine usually have a small change to them from the standard, and for v4 it is that mine has a blue instead of red volt meter (trust me, it looks cooler).

However, the one I linked is also very good (and safe) and there are a few more that are good. It's poo poo like the Windy City or Retroelecta type poo poo that can cause damage to PCBs or other devices.

Something I'm working on now is 3/4 player adapters that attach to the HAS and Minigun (and whatever else uses that PGM connector) for things like Konami PCBs. Also a cable to allow you to power Nanao MS series CRTs with a normal wall outlet to use as an RGB monitor. That French guy sells them but his price is typically ludicrous. d0s fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Apr 13, 2021 |

Agreed on his prices, I was able to work out a deal for a pair of cables but yeah I spent like $60 shipped for both cables. I’ll keep an eye out on your shop, definitely interested in the adapters you are working on : )
