Aussie Arcade Migration to IPS4 Roadmap
I'm just putting this here as a reminder to myself what needs to be done. I've had nothing but positive feedback from the new IPB4 Forum software so there's no point delaying the migration.
- AA's main site will be down for a least 24 to 48 hours during the process. I'll probably start it tomorrow the 30th or Saturday.
- Set up IPB4 on main site and do a basic configuration.
- Start migration (Could take up to 24 hours)
- Once migration is done rebuilding tasks will start running, attachments, posts etc. This is another VERY long process however the forum can be reopened and function normally however posts will look messed up with missing attachments, text formatting, quotes etc
- Before the forum reopens usergroups and forum permissions will need to be set and I need to remember to disable post moderation. To make life easy I'll only be retaining the paid subscriptions, Super Moderator and Member group. Every other user group will be merged into Members so I can get the forum up and running
Future of AA (Please Read)
It's been over a year and a half since "upgrading" to Vbulletin 5 and to say its been a disappointment is a understatement partly due to it feeling like a downgrade in some area's and missing a lot of features other forum software has standard and partly due to some people struggling with the software especially attachments, I also feel a lot of features have been left unfinished like the Calendar.
I went with VB5 over other forum software at the time because I expected the migration to be smooth....how wrong was I. I spent the first week from 6am to 10pm trying to address issues and even longer getting it to where it is now. I could have spent that time migrating to another forum platform.
I'm looking to moving AA to Invision Community or Xenforo however leaning heavily towards Invision due to its standard features. The end goal is to have a simplified user friendly experience.

Vale Yee Fong - AA users Rocky2 and founder of NZ Pincade. We lost a great mate.
I am absolutely gutted to pass on the sad news that one of the great workers and doers and best all-round blokes of the pinball community, Yee Fong, lost his long battle with cancer earlier today.
Yee was known to AA as Rocky2 and was the driving force behind New Zealand Pincade for a decade and a half. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make NZ Pincade the international success that it is, an event enjoyed by pinball friends from NZ, Australia, USA, Canada, France, Sweden, the list goes on. Yee was the sort of bloke who turns up to a pinball event like the Australian Pinball Expo or the Barn Meet a week early and works alongside the organizers to help make it a success. He worked on his own time and never asked for pay, except perhaps in the form a beer or two which most of us were happy to share with him. Yee seldom asked for much but often gave of himself.
To those who know him, we know that we have lost a friend the like of which is impossible to...

by RusstyT[QUOTE=JustAnotherRat;n2223431]Thanks RusstyT. My build is on hold a while before I even start as other life things are in the way but I am still researching and planning when time permits.
Yeh, Its a big task. I approached VPX lag the same way as Bolt Bait did in a post on VP Forums (Google latency with VPX virtual pinball Ignore the link below). I use the same i5 processor and a 750GTXi graphics card and don't have lag issues with a 4K playfield and HD backglass. Regarding the playfield screen I think Yogo bought a bargain that doesn't turn on automatically when the machine powers up which is one of the reasons some builders go for Samsung (Dare I say it that I learnt that from Dave from Retro play when I first started looking into Virtual Pinball). If you find a bargain TV that doesn't power when you start your machine its not the end of the world. I'll post a couple of photos of how how I can access the manual on off and screen toggles on my cab. My LG Monitor has this...Today, 12:10 PM -
Reply to Jpac or jpac-c or something else?by BradYeah I've only suggested the Pi2Jamma as op wants to use a pi as his engine so to speak so much easier.
Personally I prefer to use a PC so your control interface options are much wider. I've never used the XinMo's but I know plenty do without issue. IF you want to use a PC and Jamma interface then its hard to go past a jpac imo especially if you also use an arcade monitor
Cheers,

Reply to Jpac or jpac-c or something else?by SectionZ2 Player Zin - Mo maybe another option for you guys? I have PC based mame cabs & use USB encoder for single player they work fine, design is not great though, they can short easy (at least cover up the exposed solder side with some foam or something? that's what I did anyway) USB connector seems a bit iffy on 1 of mine too.
For my 2 sticks 14 buttons panel I used the Zin - Mo (2 player version) & its just a better product + only uses one USB for the 2 controllers.

Yeh, Its a big task. I approached VPX lag the same way as Bolt Bait did in a post on VP Forums (Google latency with VPX virtual pinball Ignore the link below). I use the same i5 processor and a 750GTXi graphics card and don't have lag issues with a 4K playfield and HD backglass. Regarding the playfield screen I think Yogo bought a bargain that doesn't turn on automatically when the machine powers up which is one of the reasons some builders go for Samsung (Dare I say it that I learnt that from Dave from Retro play when I first started looking into Virtual Pinball). If you find a bargain TV that doesn't power when you start your machine its not the end of the world.

Thanks RusstyT. My build is on hold a while before I even start as other life things are in the way but I am still researching and planning when time permits.
I was considering buying a 4:3 screen for the backglass but figure that most people do artwork for widescreen these days so in trying to stay true to actual, I might find myself distorting the images so I'll probably just end up widescreen there. I did build a mini cab for my sister a while back with a backglass screen in portrait and I made a bezel that went around part of the screen so it looked like a square screen and a DMD but it was all the same screen....Yesterday, 10:31 PM -

I’m not usually a fan of 3 ball games, but in Sky Jump’s case, when I changed it to 3 ball, it became an even better game. ... It doubled the big score shot on the drop target bank, and made the center pop bumper more relevant to the game. I like Jacks Open too, so I’d also recommend getting both if you can.

by RusstyTJAR, How are you going with your build? I run a 4K monitor which has a 60Hz refresh rate and It looks and plays nice. Higher refresh rates are supposed to make it easier to track the ball on quicker tables which is seems to be the major advantage of going for a higher end playfield. The graphics card is crucial. I talked to Chris Wigg a few months back and he said there was a company that was trying to sell him square monitors designed for the backglass and DMD. Chris thought that they were too expensive and that getting a Standard UHD TV and mount it portrait and extend into the cabinet is all that is needed . Not sure where the speakers go in Chris's design but I outboard my backglass speakers to keep the backglass compact around the monitor frame. I have a larger set of logitech speakers in my cab but it is overkill. I also have the smaller Logitech 2:1 set and this set is more than adequate for a pin cab. The details of all my equipment is in my design summary document including lots...Yesterday, 04:29 PM

Personally I prefer to use a PC so your control interface options are much wider. I've never used the XinMo's but I know plenty do without issue. IF you want to use a PC and Jamma interface then its hard to go past a jpac imo especially if you also use an arcade monitor

by drguildI'm slowly building more and have a lot of little extras coming I will show later as the build goes on.
I am in discussion with a manufacture about a production run of a 2L16B panel.
These panels are based of the Sega Virtual Stick Pro for the Saturn (currently retailing for 1k AUD) and are the newer 8 button layouts seen in all modern fight sticks.
I worked with Franco from Arcade Otaku using the Virtua Stick Pro and SlagCoin templates to make the cad file years ago and the panel will be the closest one you can get to a official panel.
This build has been super slow so never got around to using it,.
Looking around no-one really has the ability to make these panels as a one off, talking to SanStarGame the minimum for a custom CAD file is 50 orders, I suggested to June we could do a public run of these panels which she has agreed and is organising a pre order listing now I can link around.

Reply to Power Supply On a 60 in One.by AutosteveYes it will, I'm just trying to get out of throwing a pico power supply into this project if I can get away with it.
I guess I'm just going to have to try hooking the multigame board up with both 5 and 12 volts and do the following tests.....
Disconnect the 12 volts and see if there is still an audio output on the headphone jack...If there is, I'll just use a 5 volt regulator for the 5 volts and use a USB powered set of speakers for the sound and get the sound from the headphone jack rather than the Jamma speaker connections.
I do have a couple of varieties of similar DC to DC converters...both step up and step down.
The one you linked to is a step up. These type of DC to DC converters come in two varieties as well as just set up or step down....Stable or non stable.
An example of a non stable type is 5volts in and you can set the output to say 12 volts but if the 5 volts in goes higher, so does the 12 volts...-

Reply to Power Supply On a 60 in One.by AutosteveThat was exactly what I used on the last battery powered multigame machine I made, a car PC power supply....battery power in and regulated 12 and 5 volts out like this one.......
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/VnMAA...BS/s-l1600.jpg
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/t9YAA...BS/s-l1600.jpg
I de-soldered the ATX connector off the last one and soldered the wires direct to the pads on the board. Pico power supplys they are called.
I do have another one but I don't really want to use it if I don't really need to. This time I want to try using one of these that I have for the 5vDC......
https://www.ezsbc.com/product/psu7/
So that just leaves the 12 volts. If it was powered off a constant around 13 volts, I'd just grab the 12 volts off it but because the battery when charging goes up to around 14-14.5 volts and when the battery is discharged can drop down to 11.5 volts, that is why I'm a little concerned whether...-

by Oss88Hi all
long time reader first time poster. Please be nice
So I picked up a used chewlix. It has the usual pandora box (5s) setup with a jamma. The lcd is connected up via a vga port.
I want to alternate or alternatively ditch the pandora box, and have an rpi4 running instead.
I’m just wondering which interface is best and whether a jpac would work as plug and play? At this stage I really just need the 2 player 6 buttons, so another option may be a jpac-c or even an ipac.
At this stage in trying to avoid hacking away at the wires if it can be avoided with a simple plug and play type interface.
Many thanks!

Reply to Power Supply On a 60 in One.by AutosteveProblem I have is both the 5volt and 12 will be coming off a 12 volt battery. 5 volt goes through a regulator but to regulate the 12volt off a 12 volt battery is a tad more difficult. Need 3 volts drop for a regulator to work. I can do that by using a buck inverter to raise the battery voltage higher than the 3 volts drop a 12volt regulator requires but if the 12 volts does only drive the sound amp and it can run according to the data sheet from 6volts to 36volts, I don't need the 12 volts regulated I wouldn't think.
Max voltage I'm expecting on the battery is 14.8volts when charging and lowest would be 11.5volts so that would be what the 12 volts being feed to the board is likely to vary between....-

Used Bally Playboy playfield. It's from a game that we are fitting a new playfield during it's "tidyup".
See pics for condition. Sometime in its life someone had done a terrible job at fitting mylar over the whole playfield including over the top of some ball swirl
. I've manage to remove the mylar with no paint loss and deglued it. It does have some loose inserts. The most noticeable area of wear is the usual down the grotto area.
Will be shipped at your expense in the same CPR box the new PF came in.
Nice wall hanging or could be repaired by someone that has the necessary talent.

by kadeathHi all!
I need some help with this dilemma.
I am resurrecting an original Pentium I motherboard from 1997. It is in excellent condition and everything works, but I am not sure where to plug all my front panel gear (like HDD LED, RESET button, etc).
The board in question does not have a brand name on it, all it says in big letters that it is "P20" then under it "EP40206R100" then "REV 1.0" under it. Nothing else.
I spent ages on Google trying to find any mention of it, or any pic of it, to no avail.
I found the double row header in question (P1) where everything plugs on the front of the board, but for once, there is no indication where anything goes, just numbers from 1 to 22 and that's all no other legend.
Does anyone have any idea where to go from here? I am kinda exhausted my options.
Thanks!29 July 2021, 09:07 PM -
by Autosteve5 volts is good, just want to know how high the 12 volts can be. On board sound amp is a TDA 2003. Data sheet for the amp says...
TDA2003 is a general-purpose 10W amplifier IC that can be used in stereo or mono audio design circuits. The amplifier can output upto 3.5A current to drive speakers and can also handle high current upto 5A for shorter duration without any damage. It can also handle short circuits in both AC and DC rail without killing itself. It has an operating voltage of 18V but can handle high voltage up to 28V. This makes it robust to be used in automotive audio designs.

by Oss88Hi all
long time reader first time poster. Please be nice
So I picked up a used chewlix. It has the usual pandora box (5s) setup with a jamma. The lcd is connected up via a vga port.
I want to alternate or alternatively ditch the pandora box, and have an rpi4 running instead.
I’m just wondering which interface is best and whether a jpac would work as plug and play? At this stage I really just need the 2 player 6 buttons, so another option may be a jpac-c or even an ipac.
At this stage in trying to avoid hacking away at the wires if it can be avoided with a simple plug and play type interface.
Many thanks!

by Arcade KingI'm just putting this here as a reminder to myself what needs to be done. I've had nothing but positive feedback from the new IPB4 Forum software so there's no point delaying the migration.
- AA's main site will be down for a least 24 to 48 hours during the process. I'll probably start it tomorrow the 30th or Saturday.
- Set up IPB4 on main site and do a basic configuration.
- Start migration (Could take up to 24 hours)
- Once migration is done rebuilding tasks will start running, attachments, posts etc. This is another VERY long process however the forum can be reopened and function normally however posts will look messed up with missing attachments, text formatting, quotes etc
- Before the forum reopens usergroups and forum permissions will need to be set and I need to remember to disable post moderation. To make life easy I'll only be retaining the paid subscriptions, Super Moderator and Member group. Every other user group will be merged into Members so I can get the forum up and running

by perjmolsenHi
The one side of my sega scud race has no force feedback.
When I boot the game I get driver board error.
And the segment on the pcb displays ER 02
if I swap the two pcb's between the cabinets I move the fault, so it is this pcb that have the error.
I have changed the three electrolytic caps on the pcb, but that did not solve the issue, also I have reseated the two socket chips.
Does any have an idea of how to troubleshoot this pcb? Or have a spare working that I can buy?...1 PhotoYesterday, 02:37 AM -
by namastepatWell, I got super lucky this week and managed to snag the PS5 I have been waiting for.
I also picked up a new LG C1 OLED screen to get the most out of the new console. It's a 120hz 4k screen and it looks beautiful.
Suffice to say, I am totally blown away by the PS5. I grabbed two games with it, Demon's Souls and Returnal. Demon's Souls is a game I played originally on PS3 and totally loved it, so going back to it on PS5 is just phenomenal. The graphics and gameplay are pure souls brilliance and I cannot wait to keep playing it.
Returnal is what I am going home to play tonight though. Holy crap, this is truly a next-gen experience. The graphics and sound are just amazing. However, it's the haptic feedback on the dual sense controller that really makes it feel next-gen. When you first start the game, you are on an alien planet, standing in the rain. You can literally feel each raindrop patter on the controller as they fall. This is not a vibration,...-

by DedrokOk.
I’ve been assured that Creature parts are on the way. Well ramps and lane guides at least.
Plus the Snackbar mods coming soon too.
Plastics will be a bit longer.
Currently the line filter has turned up, and been installed, unused holes covered.
Power box put back together and installed.
Turned on and sounds like a nice hum, with no blown fuses or anything.
Just need to test voltages at the xformer. Then it’s onto boards.
Oh oh how I wish I wasn’t doing 7 other jobs at the same time....1 PhotoToday, 01:13 AM -
Reply to So it begins - Evel Knievel restoby DedrokAnother coat or so and it will be ready to re socket and put back together.
Fingers crossed, tomorrow I’m rubbing back the white on the headbox , getting ready for stenciling.
Hooefully it’s not like the cabinet.
Shouldnt be as it was the original headbox. Whereas the cab was a donor. (Lost World)1 PhotoToday, 01:03 AM
