Welcome to the club What games do you have? I have vf5 installed right now and house of the dead on dvd.
Cool. I've picked up Virtua Tennis 3 and I also got an Initial D 4 disc for cheap but it doesn't have the security chip. Only VF3 and VT3 work on standard Jamma inputs right? I'd like to get After Burner Climax, Sega Race TV, and Outrun SP DX, but I think I'd struggle to get a working steering wheel/flight stick. Do you have the guns for HotD?
naw, I don't have the guns. I bought the disc cheap intending to get the guns later on, along with the disc drive, but haven't picked them up yet. I use a jvs->jamma converter, personally. I output to my hdtv using vga, though.
Yeah, that's what I've got for my Naomi, and it should work on the lindbergh too. Apparently, the external HD-DVD drive for the x360 is supposed to work with the lindbergh, and is reportedly better than the official drive. I'm going to test it out once I get power wired to it - I don't think my Naomi PSU is going to work but I haven't had a chance to look at it too closely yet.
Wow, nice. I've really want to play a bunch of the SEGA Lindbergh arcade games, so I'm pretty jealous.
oh ya? I have a few spare xbox 360s, if you find out the drive does work, let me know, as I'll gladly gut one of them.
Just to clarify, it's the external hd-dvd drive, not the internal one ie the little sucker on the right. Also, any external usb dvd drive should work too
I have a couple of external hd-dvd drives as well, lol. I snatched up a bunch when they declared the format dead, along with a ton of movies, because they were dirt cheap. like $10 per drive.
Just wondering, as a general layman in terms of knowledge about modern arcade mechanics, but how interoperable are those PCI cards with generic PCs? Like, would that NVIDIA graphics card work for one's gaming PC, if they had the 7800 drivers? And how about the other way, what are those extra PCI ports good for? Specific Sega sanctioned add-ons or would generic PCI cards be useful in them?
it's just a normal 7800. arcades transitioned into pcs that run encrypted software a long while ago. I've seen gauntlet legends repair guides where you use standard vooodoo 2's.
I dunno why Sega doesn't do a home version of these. It wouldn't take much to add an internal PSU and compatability with x360 usb controller, they could just sell them direct from an online store and gain additional revenue from board sales and game sales that would otherwise be limited to arcade operators only. I wouldn't even bother changing the bios, as it's not hard to set up 'free-play' for home use if you don't want to set up a coin slot. They could have the successor to the MVS/AES combo that supported SNK for so long, and developers would surely appreciate the larger market in which arcade games can be sold. The could even have a monthly subscription charge to the all.net arcade network for home users who want to battle online. It seems like a small risk, big reward venture. I suppose the downside is the potential to offend the arcade operators and the additional costs of warranty/service and repair of the additional home systems.
So the guy who's selling me the power supply has a kit that includes a hard drive with every Lindbergh game (with firmware to select a game at boot) and a homebrew driver that accepts the wired xbox 360 controller as a valid JVS input device. I think I just died and went to heaven.
is this the same guy from assembler who has been breaking lindbergh encryption? the guy who got VF5FS running on a normal, non-lindbergh PC?
