I recently picked up a RetroElectronick Supergun board, and it works fine, but I noticed that some of my game boards don't react normally..
The supergun is powered by an Corsair 450w PSU, it's connected directly to the supergun's atx 24 pins connector.
I left the hobby for several years ago, but kept my boards in a safe place, so they werent left in a shitty shed outside. They all worked perfectly on the numerous cabs I owned.
Atomiswave works fine
Neo-geo works fine
Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur works fine.
My legit non-bootleg Cabal board works, but the game boots straight to a black screen that says CREDITS 99. The game isn't set to free play mode. The game used to boot to a laughing skull head with the cabal logo. Now it boots straight to the credits 99 black screen. The gameplay works fine
Primal Rage acts weirdly too. The directional controls don't work, and I can't access the service menu. When I trigger it, the screen becomes garbled for a second, and it returns to the title screen. When you play.. the text "DEMO MODE" flashes on screen, the directions are disabled but the buttons works. The CPU barely reacts and when it hits you, you don't lose energy. That's pretty weird.
The voltmeter on the supergun says that it gets around 5.10 or 5.08, depending on the board, which seems high.
I don't think there is a way to adjust voltage on an atx powersupply? I'm surprised nobody came up with a solution if there isn't a way.
I found a random arcade psu I had left from my cab collecting days, it's a Wey-ya (?) powersupply and it looks pretty cheap. I'm not sure I want to risk damaging my boards with it, but then again I don't think it appreciates having higher than normal voltages being sent out to it.
Perhaps there is a way on the supergun itself? The thing came in with no manual and they ignored my message when I wrote them.
Any solutions?
