The House of Dead machine I used to play had a 3/4 inch chain attached to each gun as well as the gun lead. I know what you mean about heavy. Try playing with a gun in each hand ala matrix style and you soon have tired arms lol

I have been having trouble with the liksang similar type of mod on a model 2 21 pin 32pin ic saturn. I have tried every possible combination (ab joined and a joined to pin 14, joining 0014 & 0019 on the back, every combination of inserting the mod and the cable) but the best results i get are...

Just about every brand of solder I know off has flux inside a hollow core of the solder already, so you shouldn't need any extra. The only big mistake many amateur solderers make is not holding the iron to the joining long enough., ending up with whats called a dry solder, losing most of the...

One solution is to tape whats left of the switch closed which will make your saturn think the lid is always closed. Or you could replace the switch with a slide switch so you can manaully open and close the switch. Has the switch snapped or has it just got bent out of shape, it might just need...

Just make sure there is plenty of wire between the motherboard and the led, you don't want to rip it all out if you ever need to take the lid of your saturn. :P Did you use just a standard 3.3v led or does the saturn use 5v leds do you know?

I didn't like the thought of drilling a hole in my saturn for the second led, so I have designed a circuit to run a bi-coloured led. So that the power led lights as normal albiet through the d-latch but when the access led circuit already on the saturn switchs on, it acts as clock for a d-latch...

Congratulations, I just finished the full set of mods on my 2nd saturn today. Have been coming here too much perhaps, as I did it all from memory. Thought I had a faulty mod chip until i realised I had forgotten to join the 014 on the back of the mod. Took me about 20 minutes in all for a very...

Far as I know the entire saturn system runs off either 12v or 5v for some subsystems. 3volts wouldn't damage it, you only need small batteries like aa's. Even the saturns battery backup is 3 volts

hmm, back in my student days I used to use a small bulb, 2 batteries and two leads to make a continuaty tester. All connected in series. Works a treat although multimetres are dirt cheap these days. I bought a great one for about £8 and got a second identical one free as special offer. Quite...

I have been lucky, both my saturns bought of ebay have been 32-pin anyway here are the details if it helps others, UK models Both are mk 80200A-50 made in indonesia (round grey buttons) both have 670-8326A in the top-right corner of the sticker on the back serial numbers...

I am 99% certain that both ways are identical just the former way is further along the track at a place where its more convienant to cut the track and find a 5v supply. Best thing with cutting the track on the reverse under side is that you can tape the wire flat to the board and there is no...

glad its working :) A little tip, when doing the 60hz mod , after you cut the track, its easiest to add solder to the small pin join between sides of the pcb and then solder the wire to the solder. This will ensure a good join and will be less likely to lift the track if the wire gets caught...

The three brdiges that are closed already for whatever region was set at the factory will have three little square type resistors closing the bridges, These need to be removed so the switches can be put in place

Again learn how to use the search engine on this site mate, its all been answered many , many, many times before

Before you go jump in the deep end without realising read this link thoroughly. It is probably the easiest mod guide to understand. http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/satmod1.html The jumpers that are closed by default on your saturn have just a 0ohm resister between them, use your soldering...
