supergoose · Sep 15, 2003

ist there anyone, who has an atomiswave system or at least the manual?
some german members of daddelkingz.de and me are interested, but we can't find anything at all.

a scan of the manual would be awesome.

some specs at least, not much different to a DC, apart from it has more RAM, and loads more Sound RAM, as the sound isn't streamed from GDR.

Maybe they will put some info up in a few days...

Is there any techincal info on the japanese sammy site? I fumbled around and found the atomiswave section but the most i could find was some stuff about thier recent releases.

I, too, am looking for information on things such as which JAMMA pin corresponds to button #4, and is that really a VGA port on there?

I am soooo close to ordering a kit.

What games are you thinking of getting. I want to try out Dolphin Blue because i'm a sucker for run 'n gun type games.

I would prefer Dolphin Blue, because I haven't played it before and it looks pretty damn cool. However, the kit costs almost twice what the GGX 1.5 kit costs, so I'll probably go that route.

Anyone notice it uses 5 buttons (Guilty Gear X), kinda like Time killers and bloodstorm. This might mean there is no kick harness needed.

Yeah, but I'll probably still have to wire them to the kick harness on my supergun, I'll bet.

Maybe I'll just order an Atomiswave kit and figure it out when it arrives.

Bishamon · Sep 17, 2003

Well, I ordered my Atomiswave kit this morning.

I guess I'll get to look at the manual when it arrives.

supergoose · Sep 17, 2003

sounds good. thx.

which game will you get?

GGX 1.5, because it was the cheapest.

Piccolo_DBz · Sep 25, 2003

Have you gotten it yet? :drool_2:

verbel · Sep 26, 2003

were did you order your kit from?

BlackSpy · Sep 26, 2003

There is a UK distributor doing English language kits, it's more expensive but I'm quite tempted.

They might be able to answer your questions though.

Bishamon · Sep 26, 2003

It arrived! I don't own a scanner, and my digicam is shitty for close-ups, but here are some pics:

Notice the serial number on the cart was already removed by CoinOpExpress from my brand new kit?

kernow · Sep 26, 2003

sweet!

"How did you know that square shaped GGX went into that square shaped hole on top of the Atomiswave" :spock:

(sorry I just found the photo's funny with it out, then in)

hehe

It's like one of those old childrens' toys, with different shaped blocks and holes to put them in. It helps prepare us for things later in life; not just videogame consoles.

the pinout looks good. no -5v!

and button 5 at pin 26 ...

iamrandyray · Sep 26, 2003

Lagduf · Sep 26, 2003

Thats really cool man, thanks for the pics.

Sweet! I was right! :buttrock:

Can you use a low res monitor?

Yeah, I just ran a wire from pin 26 to my kick harness.

Lagduf · Sep 26, 2003

Does the motherboard have a high res/vga output? i cant tell from the pictures. Are those db-15 connectors i see on the front?
