Today my Time Pilot pcb arrived. To my dismay, it was labelled “Space Pilot”, the bootleg version of Time Pilot. It’s a really nice bootleg, but I would have preferred it to be a Konami original board. Well, time will tell, I haven’t gotten my Konami Classic to JAMMA adapter yet, so I’m keeping my …

This is so typical for me. I was adjusting the video sync in my JK cabinet as described below and was convinced that my power was killed in the process. Got a new power-unit (cheap hower) only to (surprise, surprise) see that if you set you video sync wrong, the symptons you get resembles those …

Recieved my first CPS-game! Three Wonders is a totally awesome addition to any game collection, as it’s three above average games in one. Unfortunately, while testing it out, the power in my JK cabinet crashed. Bummer. Ah, well, I’ll just have to buy a new one.

Got home from this years mud that is the Roskilde Festival in Denmark yesterday and found two cool games waiting… Gun Force and Aero Fighters! And today I got my Metal Slug 5 JAMMA pcb (way cooler than a NEO GEO cart)! Too bad I’ve spent this much money though, ’cause there’s a lot more …

Recieved a nice Rastan PCB from the US in the mail today. It’s VERY dirty, but I’ve managed to get most of the parts cleaned off with some Wettex action.

Soldered an adapter for my Rygar original board and switched romset to a Japanese one. So I no longer have a Rygar original board, but an Argus No Senshi one! And now that it works, I can redo my MAME high score of 4 million points…

Today I received a Metal Slug 4 MVS in the mail. Also a set of nice Seimitsu buttons for my JK Cabinet. I hooked them up today and the are NICE! Going into the cabinet, I also took the time to install the coin button on the side of the cabinet that I’ve always wanted. …
