I tested what I can, its a shame Alienstorm was not 100%...at least it went to a good friend who will fight for its revival. Best of luck~!<br />

Capcoms'Street Fighter 89er...I mean, Final Fight! A CPS1 classic and a evolution of the Double Dragon formula on steroids. Literally, guys (and gals) and bigger in this game than the grand daddy of the genre and make no mistake, this game is designed to take your money and kick you in the ribs in the process.<br />

Here we have a choice of characters, not palate or headswaps most of its predecessors were utilising at the time. Also, this restricts to players using two different characters at the same time for 2 player play. As far as I know, there was never a case of two players gunning for the same character at one time. This was more the case of Street Fighter 2: World Warriors. Ah...the scramble to play as Chun Li...<br />

The premesis of the game is made very clear on the opening screen..Barrels are not only a great container for perishable goods like chicken or medium rare steak, they are also imprenatratable by walking through it.<br />

Also, scale is not an issue here, I am sure there are 10 foot enemies who are dying to use the public phone to call their relatives to wire some money through Western Union..<br />

Mr Driller. Apparently the son of Dug from Dig Dug (if that is his real name). This was suppose to be Dig Dug 3 but NAMCO chicken out of that name. Mr Driller sounds at least 45% better.<br />

Test your might: Choose between beginner mode or normal mode. The game will end once you complete that depth I think...maybe....I never made it that far yet.<br />

You also have to collect air capsules to keep the air meter up or you will sufficate. Not really a big deal on the surface...<br />

Like most people born in the early 80's most appliances are switched on and off with mechanical switches and potentiometer dials. It has a "confirmation feel" to the technology that can not be replicated by soft buttons (anything like those on an elevator or the pedastrian crossing for example) or touchscreen as seen on PDA/Smart phones.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are the monitors in my collection that gives me that tingling feeling from the get go without opening up the casing or anything silly like that. The other common factor amongst these monitors is the lack of an inbuilt speaker system. Guess the consensus amongst the designers is not to leave to chance of magnetic disturbances.</div>

Ejection with a nice tidy outlay of buttons. I was praying to the CRT gods that the lock mechanism was not in place and I was relieved it was not locked. So I was able to play with the settings to my heart desire.<br />

Now this bit is going to bug me for a while as I will be on a lookout for a plastic pen that can occupy the space. Now there is no problem using a metal screw to play around with the settings, but I like my monitors complete. Like they say, the pen is mightier than the sword...especially since you take in account the size difference between the two tools.<br />

This set almost have every buttons and dials you can wish for. And that is not even half of it. The tray is so massive and heavy you need a freaken metal handle to pull it out...<br />

Like most things in life, you need to make decisions to make sense of things. For me, its deciding what to keep and what to let go from the monitor haul. The 3 sets that made the cut is the 2 x 20" Ikegami monitors and also the composite only Panasonic.</div>

<br />
The first monitor on the test bench (or floor in this case) is one of the Ikegami. It has controller modules similar to the BVM. So I was expecting some knock out picyure quality.<br />
<br />

<br />
The picture quality is pretty clean and vibrant, which made me wonder whether the monitor was used at all?? I further tuned the pictures on this set and now its on par with , dare I say, the BVM.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZIdte29uG0/W_tLsCguNWI/AAAAAAAAf-0/5Ovqr93BYfI-s4g7j-eN5GG8RvuhNBrngCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_0160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZIdte29uG0/W_tLsCguNWI/AAAAAAAAf-0/5Ovqr93BYfI-s4g7j-eN5GG8RvuhNBrngCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_0160.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I tuned the other Ikegami with the MVS cross hatch. All the control on this unit is on the chassis itself, so I had to open it up and adjust it. The points for adjustment was well labeled so I had no trouble getting it to look mint. The colour is probably about 5-8% less vibrant than the BVM but certainly better than the DSE and older PVM monitor I have of the equivalent size.<br />
<br />
Finally, I moved on the Panasonic...what can I say about composite that everyone else has already experienced. It is a competent PAL monitor as the NTSC variant it accepts is the rare M one. So the only practical use for it is for PAL sources. I really dig the 80's look and the headphone jack with the pop in pop out dial for volume and that is about it. A solid monitor for PAL gamers sitting at least 2M away from the display.<br />

Just recently took delivery of a whole lot of broadcast monitors from a friend. I have yet to test them, but I am excited about 2 of them from Ikegami.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I think just for the irony of the purchase is reason enough for me to buy these. I got them from Trademe and awaiting delivery. Both sold as untested so I am not sure what I am getting myself into, but for TNZS I think its worth the punt.</div>

I decided to playthrough Fighters History after washing the car on Sunday. I picked Mizoguchi because I can spam his rekka kick to chip damage the CPU and it has a good buffer zone should the CPU block the string of attacks. I can not emphasise the importance of throws in this game enough. The bosses are push overs compared to CAPCOM and SNK offerings.</div>

A mediocre but competent fighting game with the Data East flavour to it. Mainly the voice samples, which were very progressive back in the days. Especially with chinese pronounciation of special moves...felt like an IGS developed game.<br />

A couple of months back, I wanted to increase my options to play JAMMA games. On the same thought, I also wanted to utilise more of my USB based controllers whether it was for the PlayStation 3 or the XBOX360. This product poped up and claims, it can go both ways. </div>

First I tried my AES controller to make sure it’s working and also adjust the +5V on the Super Gun. Then I wasted no time and tested the XBOX360 controllers in the form of the wired controller and the EX-SE. Both worked beautifully, I am impressed.</div>

You can tell the Super Gun has accepted the controller by the LED diodes which lights up once t accepted the USB controller.</div>

Next was a long shot because I chose the second funckiest controller converted I have in my arsonal: the GameCube/XBOX/PlayStation2 to USB converter...No LED, got power but no LED. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Next I brought out my other converters which in this case is either a PS3 or XBOX360 converter for PlayStation controllers.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rnAr56VXESA/W6ZCylxZhMI/AAAAAAAAe-E/EZhAWh-4nq47_lsutz5bF6G0Rwe0trKQACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9647.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rnAr56VXESA/W6ZCylxZhMI/AAAAAAAAe-E/EZhAWh-4nq47_lsutz5bF6G0Rwe0trKQACKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9647.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
It worked!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RkNFCcWwp0c/W6ZCygV0imI/AAAAAAAAe-E/6WO8jl_Zr2IBE7LnMMhFY0o3uBWf6n45ACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1478" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RkNFCcWwp0c/W6ZCygV0imI/AAAAAAAAe-E/6WO8jl_Zr2IBE7LnMMhFY0o3uBWf6n45ACKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9648.JPG" width="295" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
And so did this one! In either PS3 or XBOX360 mode.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yta-lD_nb4g/W6ZCyiL1cQI/AAAAAAAAe-E/auLAMBrEHTcRQLhwr22Ympu_yNnHQRIqQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yta-lD_nb4g/W6ZCyiL1cQI/AAAAAAAAe-E/auLAMBrEHTcRQLhwr22Ympu_yNnHQRIqQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9649.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Finally I tested specialised PCB in this case it’s the MC Cthulhu...2 of them used in a special controller.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IsvQHkSuGzQ/W6ZCyvR0VUI/AAAAAAAAe-E/qxNE4PXl_7Mh8y6tN9t7Q5MBADxbF3utwCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IsvQHkSuGzQ/W6ZCyvR0VUI/AAAAAAAAe-E/qxNE4PXl_7Mh8y6tN9t7Q5MBADxbF3utwCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9650.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
And both worked making my HSS-130 journey back to the arcade roots complete! </div>

Well, technically an older generation of the Street Fighter III series. I remember when it came out amidst the Street Fighter EX series and was largely ignored in favour of the ZN-2 and CPS2 offerings at the time. Which is a bit of a shame as the hardware was quite beefy and can handle 2D sprite work like nobodies business.</div>

This revision was suppose to drop Ryu and Ken to make way to new characters essentially making Alex the main character. But it was wise for them to include the two protagonist to retain the identity of the Street Fighter series.<br />

This was also the first time CAPCOM allowed the players to choose their Super Arts/Combos to balance super meter usage and the effects of the super art.<br />

There is no fault in the graphics design nor the revamped HUD. Everything was essentially what a sequel suppose to be, bigger and better.<br />

Recently acquired some CPS3, unfortunately the cartridges have suicided. So I sent them to Mitsurugi/Jeremy to rectify that and rectified he did. A well done job mate, thanks for the super service!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
This is the setup in all its glory (Please ignore the controls for now, no way I could play any of the CPS3 games with the AES controller...or could I?):<br />

<br />
And its alive!! Notice the image is shifted to the right by a good inch...no special guess to what I could of used here.<br />
<br />
I did not hit the 1P start button to enter the menu so its a mystery game loading up...I wonder what it could be?<br />

Happy days.Kelvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00180147242138627057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921441396649752933.post-91235496204136780692018-09-14T16:50:00.003-07:002018-09-14T16:50:28.265-07:00PCB Line dancing made easy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a couple of occasions where the arcade PCB outputs at a different scan timing to the CRT where as an arcade monitor can accommodate this by geometry compensation..consumer CRT, not so much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will have 2 options:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Open up/Go to the service menu of the CRT and adjust the geometry for that couple of games that requires the adjustment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Alter the signal before it reaches the CRT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to do the later:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought 3 H-Shift circuits with built in Sync leveling capabilities to ensure compatibility with non-arcade monitors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4UO3jsqHdug/W5xFAghvvCI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/e8Ng7exaxyE1KDLsFEtwNiYERxCih9ZUACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9598.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4UO3jsqHdug/W5xFAghvvCI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/e8Ng7exaxyE1KDLsFEtwNiYERxCih9ZUACKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9598.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So it interfaces between the arcade PCB and the Super Gun. This circuit is not required for arcade monitors so it is solely for consumer (or professional) grade CRT.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DXypPdL4m04/W5xFAkO-UQI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/ZAlxn-syGOUQkWyk146W0FtW0lqmtuytACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9603.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DXypPdL4m04/W5xFAkO-UQI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/ZAlxn-syGOUQkWyk146W0FtW0lqmtuytACKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9603.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Please excuse the bad reflection, as you can see, the image is cut off at the bottom and you loose quite a bit of detail of the HUD. This is the image you get if you use the PCB directly to the Super Gun or if you have the interface turned off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8JDm0HUblXQ/W5xFAlpTnTI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/q0w-fMRaRfA-0rYCgwUpxw6P1z7f7sQYQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_9605.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8JDm0HUblXQ/W5xFAlpTnTI/AAAAAAAAe4Q/q0w-fMRaRfA-0rYCgwUpxw6P1z7f7sQYQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_9605.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the image you get with the circuit turned on, notice you can center the image where ever you like without affecting the other geometry setting. All this is accessible at the circuit so no need to change TV settings at all.<br />
<br />

It was interesting how they used the unreleased SF2' rom for the multicart in place of any of the released Street Fighter 2 games on the Megadrive. Anyway, I like this version, sort of remind me of the PCE version.</div>

Recently picked up a 20" DSE branded TV to satisfy boards which rotates the other way or quite simply did not have a flip option.<br />
The stereo function is also a little iffy, which I was able to fix by resoldering a dry joint.<br />
But apart from that it could be the best setup flatscreen I ever saw.<br />

Recently bought 2 x CPS3 sets from Trademe for a fair price, assuming one of the cartridge is working. I did not hesitate upon receiving the games to test them. Unfortunately, both cartridges have suicided so obtaining a superbios + regular SH-2 would be the best course of action.</div>

Decided to drown my remorse in a few games of Pulstar on the MVS and also...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally playing this game in the correct orientation. Unlike most vertical games, NAMCO decided to go clockwise with this release. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the remixed versions of the classics. Pretty cool and wont miss a beat in a modern arcade establishment.<br />
<br />

<br />
Also, I took the opportunity to test an official Sigma RGB cable that I got from Gaijinpunch a while back. Here is the thing, it works awesome...more so than the cables that I got from a well known cable making group. You can see their label on the floor of the picture above.<br />

For almost a year my Forgotten World spinners were sitting on the shelf, so I took action and asked Alberto to make me one and it was a beauty. His panels are fashioned out of stainless steel so it would not rust and last for ages. The mounting screws also allowed me to mount any lever I desire, in this case I used some aftermarket ones since I hardly install this game.</div>

Next I got a pair of positional guns, I wanted to get the smallest one possible so I could mount them on project boxes and play some ( well, one ) known working gun game: Namcos' Steel Gunner 2. The package that I need to buy to get the guns came with Aliens3:The Gun and a broken Tekken 2 board. I will try to install the Aliens3 rom on my working Spiderman board to see if I can get it going again.<br />

<br />
Firstly I finally have a Thunder Zone board, finally the ice mobile in the artic stage makes sense.<br />

Luckily I can toggle the dips to make it a 2 players game and allowing each player to choose different characters. But to be honest, this game really shines when 4 players play together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, another multiplayer game that can be toggled to 2 players, it is <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Mystic Warriors: Wrath of the Ninjas</span>:</div>

The game like the title has a lot going for it including all the tropes you find in 80/90s martial art film. Thoroughly enjoy playing this game. The only downside is a small component broke off the sound module (duh! duh!) But it still plays well.</div>

In addition to finally getting Pulstar for the MVS (will talk more about this gem later) I also got Lethal Thunder:</div>

I was relieved to find this board not being a conversion and it plays great even after so many years. Colourful graphics, non stop action and tight gameplay makes this a winner for me.</div>

Runs well enough for a test monitor and very thankful it was not dumped. The Megadrive is running in RGB 60Hz so it looks quite pretty.</div>
