Picked one of these up for a reasonable price recently.
Its in very good condition and it works too.
Time to open it up and see whats inside.
This thing is a computer in itself with a processor, ROM and RAM. You can install JiffyDOS into this as well but im going to leave it alone as my SD2IEC will be the thing getting the most use, this item is just a nice to have.
The people that brought us the CPS3 super BIOS/SH2 mod are currently working on converting Atomiswave games to run on a NAOMI.
This morning I thought id give the Demolishfist game a try and netbooted it up.
Ive never played this game before and probably never would have if not for this work and I am very impressed.
I got to level 2 and couldn’t see anything wrong with gameplay or graphics. There may be some issues but I lack any knowledge on the game so I really don’t know.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of this project and hopefully Hokuto No Ken will be soon. It was the only reason I bought an Atomiswave (sadly needed to be sold on) and really miss the game.
A little while back muddymusic lent me his PCE-JAMMA unit to look at.
The whole saga can be found here.
There is pretty much no documentation available out there for this unit but my friend Tormod seems to have quite a bit. Here is a scan of the manual he has for it
After tracing the hardware out and various trials and a fair amount of input from the arcade community we came up with this:
Its not a bad system really and it works well for what it is
Since Ive recently decided to spruce up my NAC a bit I thought it was time to get hold of a new control panel for it.
I ordered this one from Akihabarashop.jp
Ive got to say the communications from this place are nil but the item landed after about 3 weeks so I guess I cant complain too much as it is brand new.
Recently picked up a bargain on eBay.
It was a job lot of Commodore stuff and included the following
3 x Commodore 64’s (untested)
a load of Amiga disks
a load of C64 tapes
a few 5.25″ floppies
couple of Commodore dust covers
an AV lead that looks to have an S-Video connector on it
Now when I see the work “untested” on an eBay auction it usually means its broken. In this case I ended up with 2 fully working C64’s and one with a duff PLA that I can easily replace.
So I got all this for a grand total of £21. Im very happy with that
