Description
Home Arcade System, HAS for short, is my newest supergun. The idea was to have a relatively small PCB-type supergun but packed with some useful features, like button layout remapping, autofire and hassle-free power supply connection.
Specifications
- NeoGeo controller ports with extended pinout for buttons 5 and 6.
- Full button remapping and VSYNC synchronized autofire - it's 100% based on my previous project RECO and all features remain unchanged:
- 6 button inputs and 6 fully configurable outputs for both Player 1 and 2.
- VSYNC is extracted from the PCB game’s SYNC line for the ultimate compatibility and stability. There are 6 different VSYNC synchronised autofire rates to choose from.
- 6 different VSYNC synchronised autofire rates to choose from.
- Allows to access the PCB game’s test mode by using a combination of buttons.
- New button layout and autofire settings are saved and stored in the microcontroller’s internal memory and stay in the memory even after disconnecting HAS.
- Lagless.
- Indicator LEDs.
- more information
- Kick harness connector to connect to PCB games that use more buttons.
- RGB video output via a 8pin mini DIN connector and audio out via a 3.5mm jack. Audio also goes via mini DIN, but is being overridden by the 3.5mm jack connector the moment you plug in a jack cable. This allows to run audio via a separate cable to reduce noise and interference. It's also really easy to interface with PCB games that output stereo audio via external connectors (like the CPS1.5, CPS2 etc). Furthermore, the 8pin mini DIN has the same pinout as the XRGB mini and you can connect HAS to XRGB mini using a direct (1:1) 8pin mini DIN cable.
- Brightness regulation via one dial in order to get perfect colour balance.
- Safe audio attenuation circuit with volume regulation and option to disable attenuation and use JAMMA aplified audio.
- Test and Service buttons.
- 4pin DIN connector to connect the external power supply.
- additional 6pin connector to connect an arcade power supply if needed.
- The microcontroller is socketed should there ever be a need to replace it.
- Laser cut 4mm acrylic glass covers for top and bottom to protect the electronics.
- All necessary connectors, buttons and dials are accessible from the sides of the PCB.
Availability
There are only 10 sets built (12 couting units for my own use ) and there won't be more. Sales thread.
