What are the measurements of your Namco produced Battalion PCB, Stefan_L?

That is quite a tiny PCB indeed. ^_~

A little Namco PCB

Oh come on, that PCB is actually the size of the city block, and you just did a image shift blur in photoshop!

[cools]

That has to be a Namco test PCB, am I right? Surface mount, with those graphics, in 1993?

[Stefan_L]

Yes i think it's an test PCB.
It's 11.5 x 9 cm.

Cool!

That Egret II is nice Domino. Are you running a single or multislot MVS in it?

It doesn't matter because Magician Lord will smash any game that tried to steal time from it! Then it'll body snatch it and then you'll find two Magician Lords in there next time you open it up. (Based on a true story.)

I'm using a MV-1A (single-slot) mobo. Not planning to use a Multi-Slot any time soon cause it's not JAMMA and I need to do some work to add in a "select" button.

It was so worth it for $45 shipped. OOOO, looks like I have another game in the mail today, pics up later today.

How is the 1A on compatibility with the Giga Power/etc carts? I've had the best luck with my little 1C, despite no stereo. I do still have the 1F if I want that back though

I don't own any of these carts and I'm not planning to get any of them anytime soon.

[Domino]

Here's my want list:

Crossed Swords
Last Resort
Ninja Commando
Robo Army
Shock Troopers
Top Hunter
Viewpoint
Zed Blade

And I know none of them are Giga Power carts. Do you have problems with your one-slot?

[Arasoi]

Just the 1F. 1C is basically the board that runs everything perfect, according to hardmvs and what I've heard anyway. At any rate let me PM you as I have a cart you're looking for.

[Domino]

Check your PM, and new game:

Yep, paying off them ol' debts completely are more important than the fun arcade PCBs for our enjoyment. Unless you want to be visited by the debt collectors day in and day out -- that ain't no fun. ^_~

Aliens vs Predator is like Samuel Adams, always a good decision. Congrats on that and AD&D/Progear.

0% interest credit card until next March though makes things pretty easy. That and another offer for a 0% credit card til next September. If not for that, I wouldn't be doing this. Still I'm going to sell some stuff pretty soon I imagine.

[brokenhalo]

I want! I love's me tiny PCBs!

Cools - by surface mount, you mean the way the parts are soldered to the board right? That new-school technique. Or is it something else?

There was a law in Japan wich said you can't sell cabs without a PCB, so Namco did this PCB to follow when they sold their cabs (that was not dedicated of couse). Namco also used Klax PCB's for this purpose.

BTW.. i have uploaded a Battalion gameplay video at Youtube:
