Cave SH3 PCB
Just wondering what the 9pin D-connector is for on the new line of Cave PCBs, please? Can't find a scan of the manuals anywhere...

Re: Cave SH3 PCB
Thats what I thought at first too, but its a 9 pin, not 15 pin. So it some kind of serial connector.SAM wrote:It should output VGA.

It's for bookkeeping, so the operator can see how much money the machine has been pulling in over X number of days.I want to know what the battery does. I removed it for a while but it does not reset the high scores, it does reset the real time clock/date but I dont know why it needs to keep the date and time..
We here shall not rest until we have made a drawing-room of your shaft, and if you do not all finally go down to your doom in patent-leather shoes, then you shall not go at all.
does anyone have a link or more information on the new cave pcbs?

Yes, I was going to mention that, as there's not a single socketed chip on that board. Makes you wonder if the boards will die if left batteryless for too long.oxtsu wrote:Apparently the DB9 connector is used for editing the Flash memory (i.e. game program). The battery has something to do with that as well.
it deifnately looks small, i wonder if anyone can measure the pcb?M0nk3y wrote:Anyone know how big these are? I'm reckoning you could fit that in an empty MVS cart . Would certainly help protect it.
edit -> actually it should be pretty simple to figure out the dimensions. the JAMMA connector is a standard size, so just make some ratios based on that length and use that picture above as a reference.
anyone on the boards own mushi, espII or ibara pcbs?
i'm still looking for more information on the boards myself.
