WTF! -- Rare Sega Galaxy Force II arcade PCB on eBay!

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

I was browsing on the "Jamma" selection of auctions on eBay today and came across a rare Sega produced Galaxy Force II arcade PCB! This rare puppy doesn't appear very often on eBay these days. Unfortunately, it isn't Jamma compatible but a special Jamma adapter could be rigged up to get it to run. This is better than waiting for the Sega Ages Collection of GFII port to PS2 or XBox 360 consoles. ^_~

This isn't my auction BTW... ^_~

The trading section would have been better perhaps.

Thanks for the heads up - something on my wanted list for a long time now. As icing on the cake, that current bidder is someone who has had payback coming their way for a long time.

Do you have any schematics on how to build such a jamma adapter?

You'd need the cab wiring diagram to make one, but more importantly, an analogue joystick and throttle control.

The reason why the PCB is sought after is because the Saturn port turned out to be mediocre. The Sattie could have handled it perfectly, but the game runs only at half the framerate.

Roughly ten hours remaining.
If I only knew if it worked and how much shipping is.
I would mod a Dreamcast controller onto it. Jezus, I just wet myself.

I have a Power Drift PCB wich uses the same hardware as Galaxy Force 2, or at least the CPU board is the same... and i still haven't figured out how the controls work, i can't even enter the testmode.

UncleTom has a little webpage for his Galaxy Force 2: http://solvalou.mine.nu/technical/galaxyforce/

A Japanese dude, judging by the tag. I wasn't willing to drop more than 50 on something probably broken (Bill Burger.....)
