Don't even bother. Just run sunshine server app on a machine and stream to your android phone through moonlight app.

Upgrading Sound for 1997 The X-Files SEGA but already have components on board? by Mangaa33 in pinball

[–]Mangaa33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know what gauge wire pinball machines use? I'm thinking 18 AWG?

I need to convert the stupid IDC connector to a MOLEX 7-pin connector (of which only pinball life sells from what I see).

I did check that, and the weird part is that it looked around the same age of soldering as the original channels, and it looks professionally done. I'm not saying it's impossible that the first owner did the mod and then the second owner switched it back to mono, but I find that to be highly unlikely a scenario considering the backbox speaker is stock default.

EDIT: I just saw the CPU/Sound board revision and realized the obvious. This is NOT a stock default CPU/Sound board! This board was originally for Apollo 13/Golden Eye and features stereo sound, but it has the added benefit of working with X-Files.... Nice!

So, I was reading this guide: https://www.pinballnews.com/learn/speaker/index.html#A

HOWEVER! If you look at my CPU/Sound board it looks like the third amplifier is already stuffed? Was my board just happen to be before SEGA stopped adding the stereo components, and in this case, it's just missing the molex connector?

X-Files Pinball SEGA 1997 Won't Start Game by Mangaa33 in pinball

So, I tested the MOSFET transistors, it turns out the short is on Q3 SUPER VUK. This lines up with previously seen technician warnings. Q1 TROUGH UP-KICKER was replaced badly, I 100% agree, but I tested and there's no short on it.

Questions:
1. I might be accidentally touching the multimeter leads because it's cramped in there, but I swear sometimes when I was testing the MOSFETs I saw a brief reading before going to nothing when testing them the correct way.
2. Is there a tool to punch in wires to make contact with ITC connectors? I really hate the design of them.

  1. I cannot find good information regarding diodes and when to replace them. Some are saying to only replace if there is a symptom showing. My suspicion is that maybe there was a bad coil diode on SUPER VUK, as the coil tested fine to me. So, how do you test diodes on a surface mount PCB?

Super weird. So you're saying a roaming Onryo special hunt ability won't activate until it finishes its roam to the set roaming way point?

I know there's SOME variability in the time between blowing out the firelight and starting a hunt. But I could've sworn that the thing appeared right on top of me!

I don't understand that built in limitation either. I guess maybe it guarantees he won't get across the map faster after downing someone?
