How to Play, Capture and Stream Real Arcade Games at home with a Supergun - No Emulation ! | MVG 

One of my favorite games from the early 80's was Polybius.

A few minor corrections : the JAMMA pinouts at 3:35 is not 100% accurate. Pins 26 is not normally connected and 27 is ground. Pin 5 is -5v. A more accurate jamma pin out is located at : www.arcadetreasure.com/techinfo/jamma_pinout.gif

daily reminder: WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS

I must say this is the coolest video I’ve seen from your channel so far. This is a great way to enjoy arcade games from home. Those arcade pcb boards are really a treat to gaming history. Just wanted to say keep up the great work and thanks for sharing these super cool gaming archives with us. Thumbs way up!!!

Very nice work, I've been looking at this board (with Miner Willy and his house keeper on the PCB!) and it's good to know it has your approval. I also have a picoPSU kicking around so it looks like I'm good to go if I get one. Super video as always Dimitri!

Love this channel! Great video! Brought back memories, I used to own an supergun and a copy of Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting back in the day. I also had an Neo-Geo (cool SNK shirt, I remember the dog ad in EGM all those years ago lol) But unfortunately as we all tend to do growing up I sold it and really regret it. I play everything on mame now, but you're absolutely right about emulation. As someone who was a HUGE Neo-Geo fan, the Neo-Geo sound chip and music was legendary, but there's just something about that original hardware and sound that emulators just don't get right.when you're blasting through Metal Slug or classic KoF and Samurai Shodown music tracks. I've started to watch your channel and find it great as I'm going to get back into collecting. Loved the PC-Engine episode :) Thanks for the videos dude.

Great video mate as always. Indeed emulation is almost perfect nowadays but I'm a person who is really sensitive to input lag. I can tell a difference from the SSF2X Grand Master Challenge board I own when compared to a perfect MAME setup for example. Loved the video, saw it on my lunch break. Keep these coming. PS: That Ghosts 'n Goblins is worth some serious money nowadays, treasure it!

Just ordered a supergun box. That price he's charging is amazing! What a great video. This tied it all together. Thank you.

That intro song though 👍. Very clear and straight to the point video! thanks

You are awesome. Been enjoying the content you put out for a while now and just now saw that you covered this topic I was searching separately. Very helpful thank you

Another excellent video MVG! Now you're a true hardcore gamer! Owning, playing and streaming the original arcade circuitboards! That's hardcore!

I just got my board today. Shipped from France. Haven't had time to do anything with it yet, but I can say that the build quality is great. Very well made and unbelievably inexpensive.

Wow, was really expecting the Supergun to be a lot more, less than $80 shipped isn't a bad deal at all.

A top knotch presentation as always :) Great work !!

Respect, brother. Great video, this is all stuff I never knew about!

Really enjoyed watching that mate , very well put together video as always 🖒

Finally a video covering this supergun. Awesome job! Wasn't sure if it would work with the OSSC.

Nice Space Harrier music in the beginning, love it!

It's a shame this whole retro trend is driving up the price of hardware.

Wow and to think that I almost consolized my MVS! This opens up so much more possibilities, thanks very much for the clear, simple video! PS: I'll investigate further, but it seems that the Supergun you showcase in the video may be dangerous for the AV chain. Personally I think that I'll go for a custom built one, or a HAS

Straight to the point and on how too You have given the easiest and best way to get into the arcade hobby im recently getting into this because of my love of getting to play arcade s around 90 s before 💩 hit the fan and we got all the stuff there is now if i was to get my children into games it be arcade for sure retro forever

This is such a seriously awesome and versatile piece of hardware.

I recently bought a Neo Geo CBOX/Arcade Supergun! And I've been streaming arcade games thru the JAMMA Pandoras Box 6, although I would LOVE to get some actual arcade PCBs! As well as some more MVS games! I only have Metal Slug 2, and to add a friend also gave me a Neo Geo CDZ, which I had modded by a awesome RU-vidr called Retro Gaming Arts with the UnoBIOS Mod! But I'm happy that I got that MVS/Supergun combo!! Keep up the amazing work!! Happy gaming!

Awesome video, I just got my hands on a Sega Astro City. Even though the subject is about the supergun it's very educational about jamma harnesses and arcade cabs as well. thanks a ton!

you ve just update the channel in elite levels (WOW culture), gz!!!

This video is awesome. Also, the SEGA ashtray is a nice touch. I'm starting to get serious about getting a SFII cabinet. It'd be nice to be able to swap out different edition, and maybe even a couple different games like Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam. I didn't know that was possible until I saw this video. THANKS!

Love the video. Grew up in the arcade and always wanted to do something like this. Now thanks to your video I can see it’s really not that hard. Thanks again

I’m looking into this myself. Also super jealous you have the Arcade DiaMakaimura!

Been messing about with superguns for years. A great way to get into arcade gaming without the space that a cab takes up

You never want to directly interface high impedance arcade video signals with low impedance (75Ω) consumer-grade equipment. Putting 3 trim-pots on the video outputs isn't how you properly shape TTL +5V logic analog video into a .7vPP low impedance termination. There should be a buffer in the video transmission lines between the arcade output and the TV/Scaler input that DC restores and attenuates the video, properly. Also, it doesn't appear that composite sync is being properly shaped, either. You're quite possibly jamming a +5v sync signal into equipment (Framemeister, TV, etc.) that has a power rating limit of 1.8V. Another good way to seep into ESD protection diodes of a piece expensive equipment for it to ultimately fail.

This was awesome. I had no idea about the Supergun.

Just subscribed. Great channel, thanks.

awesome. this is a great unit. great vids.

This is awesome. I love this.

nice setup, my brother has one using emulation and a RPi 3 and when we play we didn't noticed any lag on the majority of the games. but this product seems to be pretty good.

Excellent video! Totally jealous of your cabs.

Very helpful for getting started. THX! =)

Great video! Take care

Thank you for this video! I have a NeoGeo MVS motherboard withafew ganes that my uncle gave me a long time ago and I didn't know what to do with them, until now. I'll give this a shot.

Great video! The part about the pico-psu got me interested in getting one for my own supergun. How much power would you recommend it deliver?

Very informative video. I might get this instead if dropping $300 on a Wind City Gaming supergun. I didn't even know this supergun existed.

I have a bunch of boards but did not know about these adapters and that is after looking for something along this line. Looks like they all come out of France. Thanks!!

Dude, you must be psychic. I just recently started looking into this stuff, hoping to get a candy cab setup for my office. Sadly, space is an issue. Had to settle with customizing some Hori arcade sticks for my Pro and X with Sanwa parts in preparation for Street Fighter 30th Anniversary edition. It's SUPPOSED to play identical to the arcades.

that neo-geo longsleeve is awesome. i'm a bit jealous hahah

Glad you started off with City Of Blinding Lights by U2

Yo big question, does a supergun add input lag when compared to traditional arcade board wiring? I'm thinking it wouldn't, but wanted to double check.

I seem to remember seeing a video about an FPGA board that can run most arcade hardware setups natively without emulation. The beauty to this arrangement is that you can upload any hardware (and its accompanying ROMs) you want instead of having to use the actual motherboard for each game (which could get REALLY expensive, really quick!) Game play is perfect, too, since there is no emulation going on.

This is awasome hobby !

Awesome video bro. very informative. Question, what kind of power supply adapter board did you use to plug in the pico psu? can you provide a link where to buy one please. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this very informative video. It’s been my dream to own a real pac man machine... I’ll likely never be able to have an actual cabinet, but to game on an original board might be the next best thing and it’s surprisingly affordable! I could see myself picking up PCBS of a few “classics” for that extra authenticity in the home. Are there any recommendations for a good joystick? I doubt most of the games I’d be interested in would need more than 1 or 2 buttons but I suppose it would be nice to have something that does it all.

I remember playing Turtles in Time back in the early 90's, dang that was almost 30 years ago, that's just, crazy! Also the game was fun, I always picked Donatello

I agree that original hw is best. But with advancements for most people emulation is the way to go. The cost of og hw is just too great to not consider the option. Even if getting the base model supergun the pcbs can be very costly. Especially those that are sought after. They weren't made in the quantities that home ports were so rarity is almost a given on any pcb you may find. Add to the problem that most arcade owners (the ones that had the machines originally back in the 90s) weren't many times careful with the storage and handling making many pcbs damaged or corroded. One board might fire up the first time but might die the third because it was just the extra time it needed to fail due to hidden corrosion. And you might be out of the $1000+ Donkey Kong board. So those wanting to get into collecting might keep this in mind if you have a tight budget to begin with. Nice explanation on the Superguns though :)

I've built my own arcade cabinet from scratch (video on my channel). I had an old computer around and based it from that. I autoboot into BigBox with a little program I wrote :). Emulation for me was the best option as I can play any system I want.

Great video, I have the same supergun and the sega genesis adapter, i use the adapter with my 6 button genesis controller. (theres a small button on the adapater to switch between 6/3 buttons mode)

Supergun...not what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised XD

hey very great ! I really like those arcade cabinets and maybe in the future i'll made one myself :) Just a quick question, why using a PICO 20 PINs power-Supply when the motherboard seems to need a 24 PINs ?

This is very cool stuff, I didn't even know this kind of hardware even existed for an arcade pcb. I see getting started is within reason but after that it's a whole new ball game. Average arcade pcb is $100+ (working boards) the more popular arcade pcb games are $200+ The Neo Geo are going up in price for them carts, unless you buy knock offs. But still it's a very cool alternative instead of buying a arcade cab 👍

Hi, Thanks for the video! Can you tell us some more about the kind of controller you would use to have all buttons functional? Got a link? And also, about the upscaler. You can't just plug the scart output into a PAL TV? Right? Thanks!

Thanks this helped a lot. Arcade PCB and Mame Machine in tandem.

Great video! One question: how do you get 6-button games to work on it?

He is right about having an ear i noticed the music was messed up in street fighter 2 in the snes classic since i regularly play the original snes version.

Nice find with that Turtles PCB.

You answered lots of doubts

Good video. Rpi input lag also depends from the controller you are using. Have you ever tried Mister Fpga solution ?

Hi - Amazing video here. Where can I buy that ATX pin-plug adapter? You could please provide a link for it?

Just quick question, how would you setup supergun that hook up to Sony PVM CRT and still be able to capture the signal through upscaler and then via the Elgato HD60?

I recently bought a JAMMA cabinet complete with old school CRT 15Hz :D its lovely! 20 years after I finally got my ARCADE MACHINE!! With it came a JAMMA SnowBros! Then I added a JAMMA version Pandora Box 4. Whats your opinion a out Pandora Box? its a kind of emulation if im not mistaken? but still looks pretty legit, I get some slow'downs on extreme sprite games like some shoot'em ups.

Great vid! I'm already heavyly considering picking up a supergun and now your vid might be what push me over the edge, haha. More expenses now -_- damn youuuuu! *shakes fist at the sky* Seriously, I really need a Street Fighter II pcb in my life... and a Neo Geo MVS. And Final Fight and Alien Syndrome. That was all explained super simple and easy to understand, great job. All I'd need to know know, is what are some ready made power supplies for this Supergun, with some links. Also, I think CPS2 games come in 2 parts, right? one pcb containing the game rom, and another that contains everything else and houses the first pcb? Are there any other systems that are in 2 parts like this, apart from MVS and CPS2? (and the old DECO cassette thing. but I don't think the majority of arcade enthusiasts will be getting those)

Hey I was watching your original Xbox video and I was wondering what you thought of the current console modding? I have a ps4 pro on hackable firmware and I think it has some potential to be a really good emulation machine

Those Japanese gabinets are absolutely awesome!!!

I'm curious are you an Australian living in America? I've noticed a lot of your pronunciation and terminology is different to the words we use in Australia (eg Sodder instead of solder, genesis instead of megadrive). Also its refreshing to see "retro" content that doesn't involve emulation. Keep up the great work.

Maybe you can do a video on some of the cheaper arcade boards and where to get them. Lots of people including myself don’t really bother with buying actual arcade boards because they can be extremely expensive. It would be nice to have at least a couple of games that aren’t $500...

Been studying electric circuits with semiconductors in them for a while now and then looking at that giant circuit board being larger than the average desktop pc motherboard. Interesting how technology have evolved over the years as this motherboard size while being big in the old times, I believe with some work it is possible to design a much smaller tablet or even phone sized device that performs all the functions of this device and then it will work. But those games that are made to be coin operated while being fun to play, they don't have a story mode or anything due to the fact at that time, the companies rely on quarters to make money as you deposit a quarter, you rent the ability to play and they make the game get progressively harder so either you get good or it will cost you a lot of quarters to reach the higher levels and even then at the end there might not even be a final boss, you might just get a high score if you are good or lucky.

Most Excellent street fighter theme cover.

Have you tried the pico power supply with a CPS2 board by any chance?

Turtles in time looks amazing on that dell ultrasharp monitor! I still want to do this setup even though this is a year later.

Was hesitant about getting into this at first, but your video made it look achievable. Question though: I'm looking to start collecting CPS2 PCBs. Are these compatible with the SuperGun? Thanks :)

As a kid, i fell in love with arcades... now i build and operate arcade cabinets..

I love your videos. If you can conected a stick via usb to the super gun, buy a reagular arcade stick like a TE Round 2 or similar. Six bottons for arcade games is much better than 4 (neo geo). What song are playing in 6:56?... sound like despeche mode.

Good video. I wish I had a candy cabinet.

Thanks for the discovery ! Where can we buy arcade board ?

I console-ized a Neo Geo 1-slotter the hard way three or four years ago. Wish I would've known about Superguns back then!

What is brand and model of upscaler for lcd tv?

A large problem with video capture of any non standard NTSC signal is the frame rate. Many Arcade machines don't cycle at 59.94 FPS and capture cards basically need the timing to be correct or you will get no signal, or one that cuts in and out. How are you handling capturing with just the OSSC which is just a line doubler, and not a frame synchronizer? Does Elgato HD60 frame synchronize material that isn't perfect 59.94/60.0?

Where did you get that laptop power supply (how many watts) and cabling for the atx pin out?

Two questions. The retroelectronik its a good supergun for use with the ossc ? I read that some supergun can fry and kill the supergun. And thar dell monitor, how you connect to it? Look super impressive.

I actually found a decent Supergun by a company called Windy Gaming that I want to get. It's $320 with SCART cable, but it doesn't support GSCART. It has AV ports, built in audio attenuator/sync cleaner, built in PSU, and a JAMMA harness hardwired to the unit.

Hi, what if you want to play 90s 3D arcade racing games like San Francisco Rush, is this possible with a supergun too or is there other hardware for doing this?

hello nice video i have questions for you my friend , how to connect my hori joystick the ps4 / ps3 /pc (i want to play with 6 button Street figther 2 champion edition), because my stick has usb ? do you know the convert ? how connect with my old tv, because my tv has super video and rca input my tv don't have scart input.? do you know a convert for my tv ? i have the motherboard street figther 2 champion edition blotleg jamma , my motherboard work with this supergun ? thanks

How would I record gameplay without a supergun? When it's directly hooked up to a cabinet like yours? I have a blast city just like that

Hey I just found this video but I was wondering how would use a kick harness or add a 6 button controller

hello, how to connect my hori joystick the ps4 / ps3 /pc (i want to play with 6 button Street figther 2 champion edition), because my stick has usb ? do you know the convert ? how connect with my old tv, because my tv has super video and rca input my tv don't have scart input.? do you know a convert for my tv ? i have the motherboard street figther 2 champion edition blotleg jamma , my motherboard work with this supergun ? thanks

Is there a way though to connect the monitor of the arcade machine to the computer for streaming?

What about games like the mortal kombat series, that utilise aux wiring, out of jamma standerd. Would that work with these superguns? I actually have a umk3 arcade cabinet and own all the pcb's in the series, but this is still interesting...

you can put the link from where you bought the PICOpsu, laptop AC Power Supply Adapter, pad2neogeo adapater?

now i know what a super gun is and am dreaming of my own setup, marvel vs capcom or street fighter 3 would be amazing

Great video Demetri =D What JAMMA boards do you have btw?

Amazing

Hello my friend one question I have an equal Supergun but if connect to PVM show a Checkboard patrons and little interferences with the video signal. Any ideas for solve this problem. Recently find other guy with the same problem and we not have idea we can solve problem. Regards from Mexico and great video I suscribe to your channel.

is there a version with av/svideo or an hdmi port i dont have rgb
