7:47 How to film a CRT properly Step 1 - figure out if you have 50fps refresh or 60 (japanese arcade maxhine, so 60) Step 2 - Adjust your camera's shutter speed to 1/60 (not framerate) (you can do this on phone cameras under "pro video") Step 3 - Tweak the ISO and Aperture until the lighting looks good Step 4 - make sure the camera is not focused directly on the phosphores. (Gives weird texture, defocusing it in either direction works) Step 5 - look for a peak around 15khz in the recording and please bring it way down or mute it. Not a must, but a slight quality of life for folks in their teens, 20s, and pets

[@Nukle0n]

lots of arcade games have weird refresh rates, can go from 55 to 70. Depends on various things but medium resolution games like this are always a pain, they don't run at 15khz but 24 for the horizontal refresh.

[@zat-svi-ua]

some phones have an anti-flicker sensor, would that work with a CRT?

[@DeadKoby]

Arcade machines live their lives in some very tough conditions. It really does take dedication to extend them long past their original life span.

[@fordesponja]

That's the reason every arcade vendor moved onto PC hardware as soon as the 3D tech matured enough in the early 00s, you can find replacements much more easily although these kind of dedicated hardware are much more interesting to see. Also, I understand constraints existed, but putting the boards in the lower part of the arcade is just an invitation to problems, I remember Hydro Thunder having the hardware on the back just below the CRT, that should have been better.

[@aspergerio]

Ours and the ones I recall playing were never that loud when applying steering feedback. It could just be the audio, but it sounds to me like a bearing noise from that motor, and/or a dry and/or ovaled-out bushing. I've also seen the idler bushes wear out, too. IIRC they use standard size sealed bearings and brass bushings to support the rotor shaft. Good luck finding the noise! Great video, too btw. Well made and great content. Cheers.

[@notyouraveragebassist4822]

Despite being a 2000s kid I did manage to actually play this exact machine a couple years ago; the steering feedback was definitely not that loud.

[@nankinink]

Not exactly same game, but I played a whole lot of daytona (i'd imagine that it's the same tech) and yeah. No sound at all. The loudest sound was the steering wheel banging to the left when I crashed lol

[@AlexofZippo]

There's actually some old initial D twin cabinets at a local arcade to me in NSW and I've been tempted to ask if they'd sell them because they started having issues and now just sit in the employee only section of the arcade and you can just see them there collecting dust, your honestly got me thinking about going in next week to try buy them to fix up

[@elfalcon666]

Genuinely great video, I've been wanting to learn more circuitry stuff and your the only guy that can make it entertaining

[@BobSmooth-hs5ko]

Conformal coating all the boards might help prevent further corrosion but would make repairs 10x as hard. Really cool that you were able to figure out the problem.

[@clebbington]

Best would be if someone used the circuit diagram to create a repro circuit board. Even if it was just an empty board you had to populate with chips from a donor

[@helplmchoking]

@@clebbington was thinking the same. Couldn't be that hard to remove the components, scan the board to get an image of the trace layouts and do up your own diagram then send it off to one of those cheap PCB companies. Would depend on how many layers the PCB has, but since it's the 90's it should be pretty simple

[@K9arcade]

[@lilycoffee112]

Watching this with my cat was beautiful and informative! Also hopefully had a solution to the trace rot thing- I’d seen a similar-ish issue when working on PC motherboards. It was a burnt trace rather than a disintegrated one. And for me, running a jumper wire straight from the chip to a non-disintegrated part of the trace worked for me. I just had to VERY GENTLY scratch away the protective coating to get solder to stick, but it didn’t mess with the rest of the trace. Obviously I have- no idea if that would apply to an arcade PCB, but it’s an idea if the rot gets worse! Making a quick edit to this, it might be possible to run a jumper wire from the chip to the little silver disks on the trace..? Just a thought, hope it helps lol

[@comicalbanana]

the title made me think this was gonna have a sad ending, but i'm very glad i was wrong! congrats on the fix!!

[@Games_for_James]

Which board is bad on your piu? My foot pcbs were both bad when I got mine. I have an SD cab. I just searched audio logic probe on ebay and they’re pretty cheap, starting at au$30 posted. That one has hilariously oversized alligator clips though so might be worth going for the next tier up which was about au$45. You can get them without the audio (just leds) but the audio makes testing way faster

[@MaxTheGabri]

@@Games_for_James i also had a broken foot PCB when i got my GX! was just a matter of replacing a shift register though. The board i'm talking about in the previous comment is the PIUIO, i am pretty sure there's one of the LC245As that handle input whose pin that corresponds to DownRight on P2 pad is broken. Lights do react though, and swapping to my original PIUIO makes the panel works normally. I got the new chip today so i'll try desoldering and soldering the new one back. I hope it's just that and not the pin on the Cypress MCU that is fried!

[@Games_for_James]

I was missing the whole MK when I got mine so I jerry rigged it to a pc via an old ps/2 jpac. I’ve since bought a piuio and jamma board (plus working foot pcbs) but haven’t done anything with it yet.

​@@Games_for_James there are countless ways to run even legit pump mixes in uhh... not so legit ways let's say lol As of now, you can get PIU Prime and Infinity (with a custom patch that includes older games too!) If you would like to discuss this more we should get into DMs somewhere lol I sure hope you didn't cut the original cables, cause if not wiring the stuff to the JammaIO will be a funny time (which again, not an easy task as i've fixed jamma boards for PIU as well, they're completely passive boards).

[@erzajumeidi]

Takes me back last time in an afternoon 2019 before covid, played a sega rally, hotd, daytona, an old piu and re veronica arcade while strolling around and visit a very old arcade, a pretty odd place and hidden location then i found out it's only me and one staff there lol, it was cool and awkward at the same time, the machines still use coins too. My excitement turn into a disappointment to find out some of the arcade machines don't have sounds, i was very mad especially when i saw a daytona machine and it's mute, and an old 2003 piu machine ate my coins that i had to call the staff it was bad but i find it very amusing now. It has pretty good catalogue of old arcade in comparison to most arcade i found at the time, one of my favorite is to see a resident evil veronica arcade since i've never seen one ever irl.

[@K9arcade]

the sound was likely mute because the operator didn't wanna hear the daytona theme all day everyday. The coins getting stuck is likely a dirty mechanism.

[@erzajumeidi]

@@K9arcade well in defense of daytona, it's just mostly older machines including sega rally arcade is muted too, only some rythm games and newer machines has it on, and veronica has low volume, and after googling, the place is closed now because the mall where the arcade is in, customers been on the hard decline since 2018 after a flyover is build in front of the building and covid seal the deal. Pretty sad but it is what it is, wonder what they would do to those old cabinets :/

[@erzajumeidi]

@@K9arcade the piu maybe had it's age, if irc funny enough i had to use the p2 coin slot on the piu after that. I can assure it's not dirty trick since the staff gladly help me there, but i think it's tied to how the mall has been on the decline since the highway/flyover year, plus a very high competition from newer arcades with new games, but what makes me sad is that was the last time i've seen these old machines.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

Man this brought back some memories. The full arcade version of this was a lot bigger, it had a massive screen and a full drivers seat setup with adjustable racing seats, proper gear sticks by your side (rather than beside the steering wheel), foot pedals and that steering wheel that had genuinely realistic feedback. It was way ahead of its time. There's a couple of cheat codes too. One gives you a faster car (supposedly the Lancia Stratos), the other lets you practice the 4th course. Much easier to control the car in manual. You shouldn't be using the brakes much at all, it's mostly foot to the floor and gear changes. It's not a real gearbox, you can go from 4th to 1st with your foot to the floor and no clutch... try it around the first hairpin on the 3rd course.

[@benbuthesbroke4774]

Hey James industrial electrician apprentice so take what I have to say with enough salt you get sodium posing, the motor from a glance looks like a capacitor start and if the motor were to ever stop working look there first and the motor noise can be normal it just depends on how big the motor is vs what it’s trying to move if the motor is to small trying the move something big it will scream, but as even when just in idle the motor is screaming I would check the inside for a bad bearing. :)

[@Games_for_James]

Yep capacitor start. My experience with dud starter caps is that the motor will make a hum noise and will start moving if you turn it manually.. and pop a fuse if you don’t.. lol. I wanted to change the bearings when I rebuilt it the first time but it’s a sealed unit, it can only be disassembled destructively. The bearings felt smooth anyway. Others have commented that the noise is normal.

[@twigwonderkid]

Really great fix mate, did laugh at the “dust” in clutch. Well done, you probably need an oscilloscope as part of your tool set. The opto isolators we used to drive logic at low volts to radar microwave valves that ran at 1kv but need careful control to keep the tolerance of the 1kv . Your wire soldering is fine too.
