Well I finally picked up a Kyuukyoku Tiger (Twin Cobra) board. Its the Japanese 1 player version with restart points, which I have never played before.

The screen inverts when you choose a 2 Player game. ie. Player 1 is one way round and Player 2's game appears upside down . So I've had to have the boot up screen inverted with Dip2 so that Player 2 can play normally. (Yet again, the 2 Player side is slightly easier than the 1 Player).

I prefer the International 2 player simultaneous version of Twin Cobra, which helps you through bosses by respawning without restart points, but I guess this is a new challenge for me and I'll have to learn the many recovery points, as I had to with the 1 Player Hellfire PCB.

There should be a dip setting that puts both 1P and 2P on the same side (of the table as it were). Or is that what you already did?

I think its something peculiar to this exact game...? The Dip2 on bank 1 has normal (OFF) or Inverted (ON), but the game still inverts a 2 Player game regardless = 1 player Normal / 2 Player Inverted or vice versa, its strange...


So, whether you set it to Normal or inverted, you still encounter the problem. It doesn't stop you from playing a 1 Player game on either Red or Blue Helicopters, but you have to set to invert if you wish to play on the 2 Player side and waste a 1 player credit.

According to this http://otoya.sheep-cloud.net/dipsw/ka-ko/kyutai.html

Bank 1 Sw 1 = cabinet type

OFF: table
ON: upright

Bank 1 Sw 2 = screen reversal

OFF: normal
ON: reversed

Hope that helps.

mushi 1 bugfixed!

M.Namiki on composition .. ooh ahh.


AP Batrider, B ver. ~ How sweet it is..

How much would it take to persuade you to part with that Batrider poster, oxtsu? ^_-

Great, reminds me of Thunder Dragon 2. "Got damn you, I can still fight you!". Very cool game intro BTW, in Desert War I mean.

Please tell me you can scan that poster for us...erm, I mean the WOA archive.

Mikie (japanese ver) with box and original papers, Disco Boy and Flipull.

Just bought ESPra.de.

Guerilla War (JAMMA) with marquee for $25 shipped. Pretty happy about that one.

I can't go for that - Nooooo Iiiii - No can do

Wee, Gunball!

Just got an 88 Games! This is a board I have wanted since 88.

B Rap Boys!

My brand new Pink Sweets kit (with poster, thankfully rolled in a tube and not folded) arrived today. I'm having fun with it!

This completes my Cave SH3 collection. I have complete kits of everything except Ibara BL now (and I don't really care about that game so I have no plans to buy it). Up next is Muchi-Muchi Pork! I guess, probably a year or so after its release when it's in the $600-$900 range.

Good news on the poster, mine will come next week. Curious if you can test for the infinate lives bug...or did they tell you it was "fixed"?

I didn't ask if it was fixed, but since these are the last batch of Pink Sweets PCBs made by Cave (they did tell me that), if there is a fixed version, you and I will have it.

I'll try and test for the bug, but so far I haven't gotten any extends and the game is kicking my ass. I've only played a few credits, so far my best score is about 1.3 mil up to Stage 3.

fujita or somewhere else?

Yeah Fujita of course.

Hey Dave.K, check the main Pink Sweets thread, seems I have a fixed board.

came with a board too, not pictured.

Nice ketsui kit! Where did you find that??

2 new boards and 3 new machines:

Diet Go Go (board)

Ibara and man it's so much nicer than the PS2 rev.

I also had a snow day this week so I got to stay home all day and play.
