Today's hackery, PVM tube swap due to transit damage, used a tube from a friend's broken 1434 to fix my 14M2, worked great, just some geometry adjustments needed
The donor yoke sadly didn't have enough horizontal adjustment so I've swapped in the M2 yoke and it looks pretty good already, the purity was tricky and needed some additional magnets but getting there, convergence next
@kosmikat That said I'm about to upgrade to 20" PVMs myself so will be moving on my 14 inch screens very soon. I've got a Sony 14M2U and a 1450QM plus a Sony KV-14LT1U, drop me a PM if you're interested, even just for a demo!
@kosmikat Each have their own look and it's down to what you prefer, I have a couple of PVMs and the same Sony TV that Mark posted, my favourite is the Sony KV-14M1U for proper retro feels
@r_rygar@tenpencearcade@tronads @M4j0k @ShaunHolley OS4 for Pi4 is really good, I think it's the best Pi based Jamma solution - although I haven't tested the new Recalbox Jamma yet
@r_rygar@tenpencearcade@tronads @M4j0k @ShaunHolley I have a Pi4 image running mainstream MAME, I've been working on getting resolution switching working with it. RGB-Pi and I think recalbox have cracked it already in their software. FBNeo uses modern romsets but I'm not sure what the engine is based on๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm typically not a fan of solutions like this because they're often not very good but man, the SmartyPi freaking rocks. The engineering and design effort that went into this is impressive. I will for sure be doing a video on this... very cool! #sega#emulation#arcade
@dvnnvhvn @BobbyDilleyUK@PixelFXco@chriz2600@citrus3000psi A single pi with its 4 USB ports will support 2 serial connections and 2 card readers, one pair for one cab, the other pair for the second cab, you can add up to 4 serial connections for a 4 cab link up using the web interface for cards
@dvnnvhvn @BobbyDilleyUK@PixelFXco@chriz2600@citrus3000psi You might be interested, I've just updated WiPi to support multiple cabs and NFC readers for the card emulator, will be releasing soon
Super niche hackery recently, worked out how to unlock the Japanese gold exclusive ship parts in F-Zero AX on Triforce by fiddling with the card save data ๐ค
Latest flycast core compiled today after many attempts, nice little performance boost, freeplay option and best of all Rhythm Tengoku now works with proper timing ๐ฅณ
