Some Kinda Side Project (Commissions Pretty Soon)
Added 2019-01-04 11:17:32 +0000 UTCWell for those who don't know yet, im very interested on retro gaming, not just the games but also the "exotic hardware".
And now thanks to you i have a job, and a hole new house just for me, so i thought it's time to make real those childhood dreams and have my own arcade machine, the problem of buying actual arcade cabinets, its is like buying an old classic car, yes its a classic, but still an pretty old car after all, so you have two choices:
Spending a shit ton of money on a restored cabinet.
Or restore your own arcade cabinet.
So i chose the second option, i bought an Sega Naomi Arcade cabinet.
The previous owner did not got the time to make it works, it has the original control panel, the speakers, original sound amp, and this it's quite unusual in Europe, the original sanwa CRT monitor with kinda works (keyword "kinda")
The previous owner did not have the original Naomi motherboard neither the PSU, so it has an old ass PC running Mame, modified to work with the Naomi's transformer, sound amp, and of course the 31khz arcade monitor.
And here's where my problems started, the power supply had a bulky capacitor, (an easy fix) and the Monitor has a blown up capacitor, CRT monitors works with very high voltage, and their capacitors can retain charge for days (even months in few cases), so its an hard and quite dangerous fix for a rookie like me, now you're asking *ok what all of this has to do with commissions?*
Well, i need to buy the replacements, and the proper tools to fix my machine, or even an entire "new" old monitor.
So stay tuned because probably on the next few weeks, i'll open commissions again.

2019-01-04 13:05:15 +0000 UTCThat's awesome, also, that's a pretty interesting hobby! I haven't played on an arcade cabinet in a long time! I'm glad you get to make a wish a reality. I know it has nothing to do with porn but I would love to see pictures of the inside of the cabinet, I did spend countless hours (and quarters) in front of one and I've never seen the inside of one! that's if you want to share pictures of course! đ
