Almost every controller and arcade stick can be direct-wired to the Neo Geo / db15 pinout for use with superguns and arcade boards. This is nothing new and people have been direct-wiring momentary switches to build their own sticks for years, however I wanted to make a video showcasing how it’s done, what to do […]
This video will show you how to use an oscilloscope to test the voltage of an audio signal, with a focus on arcade board safety. In the past few years, so much equipment has been destroyed by superguns without audio protection and this video will show you how to prevent that from happening in your […]

There’s only about 15 original games that use this pinout, but adapters like this can be extremely helpful when using these arcade boards. A list of supported games can be found here: https://www.arcade-museum.com/pinouts-class/Capcom_Classic.html Voultar […]
Mike aka RGB, developer of the high-end Home Arcade System (HAS) supergun, is now accepting orders for the much anticipated and requested JAMMA extension harness. Similar to Benime’s extension cables that I acquired and briefly reviewed last year, RGB‘s dual-PCB harness will significantly alleviate the wear and tear effect on the supergun’s edge connector, that […]

For years, I’ve been looking for the perfect budget arcade power supply to recommend to people–something with high-quality components that won’t break the bank.
