So I finally got a Sun PSU thanks to Tyranix and thanks to 300wins for hooking me up with a power extension cable, finally got it all setup and it works great

Not as clean as I wanted it and there is NO WAY to mount it all on the board

nice and clean if you want a new USB A->B cables, I have a box full at work I'll just mail you one.

interesting , you have the bass city panel lock bracket, yet you also have the stainless steel anti-tipping footer, where did you find the footer ???

 

[dgame]

That footer comes on the Bass Fishing. It is used to attach the cabinet to the pedestal.

Panda, that looks real good. How did you go about getting power to the sun psu? I ran a cable out the back to the service outlet, but would prefer to connect it internally.

You know that 3 pin connector on the I/O board? 300wins hooked me up with a extension cable that he had made and it was extra so he hooked me up. It looks pretty easy to make so you could just get the plugs and make yourself one

The USB cable came with the I/O, that's why it's so dirty I'd like to get a USB cable that was shorter and had a smaller plug sheath on it, you may not be able to tell, but the cable is pretty much right up against the mobo. The footer was actually on my cab when I got it, I also have the standup spacer as well. Will most likely chuck that thing in the trash as I'll never use it.

Nice setup kp! It does rather look like the Sun PSU could be crammed on there though... Has anyone managed it before?

I tried every which way I could, I just couldn't make it happen

Setup looks plenty clean man, good work.

Yeah, I think skate told me you could get power there too. I just need to find the right connector.

Well it looks very clean as-is! Certainly simplifies the swap in/out process the way you have it setup.

I can make both the extension cable for the IO board as well as the JVS connectors, if you'd like.

Sounds good. I know you said you were checking on parts, but let me know how much for all the sun psu extensions.

LV, you da real MVP

 

[HDRchampion]

Does anyone have a CPS2 18 in 1 PCB? I seem to be having an issue with it w/ my blast city cab. The 18 in 1 works on my Atomiswave & Astro City but for some reason a no go on the Blast. Anyone have this issue? I get the Exception Error screen.

Looking nice!

Why do you need that sweet sun though, doesn't the cab PSU power the naomi? All the ones I've seen power a Naomi + netdimm straight from the cab.

yeah I got one an i/o with the cables like that from hklegends, super grimy and all

this might even save you some room

man, if there was a way to mount the psu sideways it could fit I htink

Oh man, I'm going to order one of those, thanks brotha!

What is this cable for?

 

[everten]

What is this cable for?

It's just an angled USB cable, connects Naomi to I/O board.

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Looking nice!

The Blast City PSU really struggles with netbooting, at least in my cab. I would get booting problems probably 70% of the time. I added a sun PSU to mine and it now boots without issue 100% of the time

sexy things

Lovely stuff panda! It's really nice to see some clear, well lit shots of the inside of a blast too, especially one this clean. Doesn't seem like there's enough of this stuff online. I've been mildly obsessing over cab wiring myself, hopefully I can get mine looking this nice.

I'll have to keep that in mind about the PSU lemony, if I run into any issues.

Edit: Question, what are the levels on the Blast I/O DC output? +5V and +12V?

3.3v , 5v, 12v ( 5v and 3.3v are adjustable )

I have 2 blasts, one runs my naomi + carts/netboots no problems. the other needs voltage levels adjustments everytime i swap the naomi in.

capacitors get old over time, more quickly with increased temperatures. both of my PSUs had a dead fan when I got them so that didn't help... one day I'll recap it and see if that fixes it.

I recapped my Astro and NAC power supplies, I been meaning to get around to the blasts next. If I get around to doing mine before you I'll make us some capkits :-) if you jump in before me... get me the cap values bud.

I just moved my blast down in to the basement and the monitor flaked out and stopped showing red. I switched to the built in VGA cable instead of running through the I/O and everything looks normal again after adjusting the contrast and brightness a bit. Maybe a loose wire on the jamma harness, didn't bother to troubleshoot.

The picture on the screen looks a hell of a lot better using the built in VGA. Does the Capcom I/O degrade the image quality? Everything looks sharper, better contrast, etc.

My blast is finally down in the line up, officially in the club.

 

[codecrank]

my buddy got some new stuff for his blast.

FA Nippon mesh tops , matching buttons and overlay.

got it all put together tonight, looks different for sure, not so jolly but aesthetically pleasing.

it was a bitch to cut all those holes.. the stuff is thick, but adhesive is crap.

and yes, I told him to finish cleaning his cab
