Neocps1 has been working on a Cadillacs & Dinosaurs arcade ROM conversion to CPS-2. It originally ran on CPS 1.5 hardware, which is technically much closer to CPS-2 than CPS-1, primarily because the sound samples are all in Q-Sound on CPS 1.5. The CPS2 conversion could be burned to EEPROMs and installed on a real […]

  Owners of jailbroken PS Vitas can use a registry setting to switch from Limited Range RGB (16-235) to Full Range RGB (0-255), by simply changing CONFIG/DISPLAY/color_space_mode and CONFIG/DISPLAY/rgb_range_mode from 0 to 1, using the RegistryEditor app by some1psv.

RedFoxZero just posted a video showing how he cleans the insides of his PVM using non-conductive electronics cleaner.  While I would have discharged the tube first, this is a perfectly safe way to clean your monitors, arcade boards and any other electronics device.  Just make sure it’s fully dried before powering it back on…leaving it in […]

Modology posted a very nice Home Arcade System “HAS” Supergun setup guide for people who’ve never used a Supergun before. A lot of people have the misconception that the power supply connection is difficult, but as you can see at 01:53, it’s very simple and only takes a minute. Consolize your arcade PCBs and start […]

Legendary romhacker Pyron has started a Patreon. He’s the god of Sega arcade color restorations. I’m such a huge fan of his restores that I dedicated a root folder to them in the Mega EverDrive Lists. He’s currently hard at work on a huge Street Fighter remaster.

netpredakonn at Sega-16.com put out a call for help fixing the scoring bug in Zero Wing that prevents it being used in tournaments. Can anyone patch this? “So, I’m part of a group which votes weekly for a shmup to be played by the members and many times a game cannot be played because it […]
