JVStrike : Sega Naomi to MAME PC
Hey,
I was working lately on project for connecting Sega Naomi IO Boards to a MAME PC just by Plug and Play. Normally a complete rewiring and Keyboard or Gamecontrol Encoder like Dual Strike
is needed for such a task.
The complete Control Panel of a Sega Naomi Cab is wirded to this IO Board. JVStrike grabs this
Sega Naomi output (a single USB Cable) and converts it to a HID Keyboard with MAME Standard Keyboard Layout.
Buttons and Sticks -> Sega Naomi IO Board -> JVStrike -> MAME PC
That's all, by just plugging two cables.
Step 1. Connect USB A Cable from Sega Naomi IO Board to JVStrike
Step 2. Connect USB B Cable to JVStrike to MAME PC
Step 3. Power on PC and IO Board

Arcade Restauration : Plexi Control Panel Overlays
After doing some modern age stuff like the Sega Naomi CPO Plexi I`ve faced to the great Zac Cabs.
I was in touch with Etienne from DL and he does the effort to design the Crazy Kong and Astro WArs Zaccaria CPO Plexi
http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2958.30
He shared the vector files with me and I made some plexis. After that he was such nice to do an review.

Repair Log STTNG Star Trek : The Next Generation Flipper Pinball DMD Display outage
Hey,
had yesterday some time to repair my pinball machine ST:TNG.
After doing some cleaning the DMD Display was not function anymore. No problem, I just replaced R6 and R13 on the DMD controller PCB.
:) Just kidding. Tons of reading, threads, tools buying later I was able to fix the problem.
Tools needed:
- Solder Iron
- Desoldering wick
- ESR Meter capacitor testing tool (Great Vid from Level42)
- Multimeter
Background Info:
WPC schematics manual Page 11
Kompedium Fehlersuche DMD Display, Page 13
ESR Meter
Testing steps :
Exchanged Display - still nothing
Step 1
Measured DMD Controller PCB
J604 -
- Pin1 to GND: -16V (should be -70V - -125V, mostly 114V)
- Pin2 to GND : -9V-10V(should be pin1 voltage level - 12V) (against Pin1 ca. 6V, but should be 12V)
- Pin 6,7,8 OK (5V, 12V, 62V)
Pin1 without DMD connected vs gNS about -40V
Apparently Pin1 and Pin2 voltage level are not correct
Step 2
So go ahead to
J605
80VAC between Pin1 and 2 -> OK
100VAC between Pin3 and 4 -> OK
Step 3
Measured Fuses -> OK
Step 4
Measured BR2 - Do measure R13 both ends voltage level, should be 130V -> OK
Step 5
So go ahead
Kompedium Fehlersuche DMD Display, Page 13
Check parts in Blue box.
Measured with ESR70 all capacitors, all ok.
Measured R6 and R13 -> Ups, some MEGAohm.
Replaced R6 and R13 with 68Kohm instead 47kOhm 1/2Watt, had no other ones in stock.
DMD Display works fine again.

The Link
The Link is a new JLF shaft design that is purposed to allow easy storage for all kinds of players. The casual players looking to save a little space, and for traveling tournament players who need every inch when cramming into a full car.
The new design is a two piece steel construction. It’s currently in the prototype stage but what you see here is a good view of the final product. When in place, the Link is identical in height, allowing for you to drop it right into your current arcade stick that has a Sanwa JLF and feel no difference. The diameter of the center collar is perfect size so that you can keep your current dust washer, however the shaft cover will have to go!”
The Link is also suitable to free some space on Arcade Cab control panel. Click Out just easily your Link shaft and free some place for using your trackball or spinner. No parts will disturb anymore your game feeling.
