Well done.You make it look easy Luke, but for someone who didn't know about this one chip this might have been a nightmare to diagnose. On to the next one!
Lol, not easy at all and with boards like this with no schematics online, it makes it 10x harder. Will keep going but I have a Legendary Wings I need to go back and work on lol.
I really appreciate your videos and I share in your excitement when you get these games working again. I’ve been dabbling in electronics repair and have brought quite a few consoles and games back to life and the feeling is amazing.
Thank you so much. I just do what I can to bring these broken boards back to working condition. Its never easy and the steps taken in the repair process can be controversial but the support helps out a lot.
Super quick repair =D It's an MCU - basically a CPU with either storage or IO or both. Strange how they seem to have used an off the shelf part, with what appears to be a different pinout.
Actually a DSP from what I understand. It executes code from an internal mask ROM. The repro uses the same chip without internal ROM and executes code from external flash. It's used as a protection chip. The fact that they are using a DSP for protection hints to me that they are doing something very complicated...
Gotta love the quick ones. This MCU adapter doesnt simply change the pinout, it also has flash memory soldered to the bottom as more complex maping components :) It looks basic on the top though for sure but is quite a bit more intricate.
@@douro20 The 'GC-0x' (where 'x' can be 1,2,3 or 4) is a TMS320C010 DSP co-processor in disguise with internal MASK ROM.My replacement emulates all four versions.Again, thanks to Luke and to everyone who uses my reproductions for supportinmg my work.
So cool that nowadays you can just order up a board for some niche project like this rather than having to cobble together some rat's nest to make it work.
Luke, thanks for doing these videos. I love these and learn a bit. I almost want to DIY one some and get a Jamma harness, a proper monitor, and adapter.
I didn't know custom repro chips were a thing. This is is great news. I'd like to see the custom ASIC for Williams WPC CPUs get re-popped. If any of mine ever die I'll never find another and a 7k game will be nuked.
Yes, the repro scene is hard at work. Guys like Caius and Furrtek are making these parts possible. Hope they will make even more (and others as well) to keep things going for a bit longer.
Hey I wanted to ask if you have ever considered using a gopro camera and placing it on your head so that you will be able to play with both hands and also film what you're doing?
The playing part is just something to mess around with once the board is working and not actual gameplay. When I do the game play vids and repairs, I usually set it up on the tripod. As for the GoPro on the head, it would be good for things like outdoor cycling vids or automotive repair but attached to the head may also have some undesirable results. Multiple cameras or a cameraman would be nice though lol.
So, are you sure that the socket wasnt at fault? It seemed to pop right out with no effort, but your replacement went in hard - due to the round pins I imagine.
During the cut, I checked if it was loose by wiggling it in place without any change. You are right though, sometimes it IS the socket that is faulty and recommended to check them as Ive done in previous vids.
Probably a bit of both to be honest. These Taito boards in particular as well as some other Capcom boards etc have no schematics to follow which means finding the root of the problem could take forever. Knowing about the most common ICs that are prone to burning out or ones that are likely bad is definitely the experience part. As for the MCU, yes, it was definitely bad. Trying it in another board I own was able to clarify that. Reseating and wiggling it in place was done off camera in the "cut" section where you can see the label removed. Sometimes it does do the trick though.
I have a Sky Shark here that is a TP-007. Safe to Assume the difference between TP and GX is region? The board I have has no video and is pulling > 5Amp on the +5V line. Can't find schematics for the board. Any suggestions on where to start? Thanks!
You'll have to let me know what you are thinking about doing with it. Ive still got a stack of stuff here to go through but if you are considering parting with it, let me know :)
Unfortunately, It wasnt repaired so I need to "actually" repair it lol. Not sure what the issue is with it but Ill try to figure it out and if I can, Ill reupload the video :)
Go Luke Go!! Keep pumping out these insightful repairs
Thanks so much, just passing on what I know or have learned here. Hope it will help out someone else in the future as well.
I have been missing so many video, hardly come to my subscriptions these days. So good to see you saving stuff.
No problem at all. Come and catch up on some of the vids here while relaxing at home :) thanks as always
May have been a short been, but nothing more satisfying than an easy fix
Always great when you know when you can find the fault with the board and fix it up quick! Thanks a lot.
wow, you nailed it at one shot xD. Congratulations!
Always like it when things come together like this :) Thanks Qki!
Glad your doing videos regularly again! Great work! Love the videos!
Thank you so much Andy. When the repair vids end, I might have to go back to just playing these boards for vids lol.

@@douro20 Yes, there's conflicting information on a few websites. In a few places its described as an MCU, but as you say it's actually a DSP.

Another Classic Arcade board repaired by Doctor Lukemorse1 Videogames and PCB MD 😎😊👍
Saved from the Grave! definitely glad to see this one up and running again!
Way to go Luke! loving these repairs
Repairing a few and ....not repairing some of the other ones lol. Will keep trying though. Thank you!
Awesome!! So cool when someone can make repro/custom stuff for common problems, and extra points for it just being one easy chip swap!
Another great work next board is awakening:)
Back from the dead and ready for action! Thanks a lot!
Loving all the regular uploads, Luke!
Thanks a lot. Ill see what I can do about keeping them coming.
So cool that nowadays you can just order up a board for some niche project like this rather than having to cobble together some rat's nest to make it work.
Yeah, times are changing now for sure! gotta love the people who put a lot of energy into reverse engineering these custom parts.
@@lukemorse1 indeed, I'm totally blown away by their ingenuity!
I LITTERALLY cant get enought of your repair videos ! I hope youll get like a bunch more PCBs to repair x3
Always great seeing new videos from you Luke!
Love what you do!! Keep up
Thank you so much. Hope it helps out others in the future
Another rapid fix by Luke!
Glad this one is in the repaired pile lol. Too many IC's on this one
Another save 👍, nicely done ✌️
PS. Hope you manage to get the legendary Wings PCB up and running properly 🤠👍
Thanks so much as always! glad to have this going again!
Luke, thanks for doing these videos. I love these and learn a bit. I almost want to DIY one some and get a Jamma harness, a proper monitor, and adapter.
Great one mister Luke! :-]
Thank you so much Zebpro!
Score with sky shark 🦈 ! Nice one
Haha, Total score ....now visible and playable lol. Thanks Jake!

A new PCB repair by luke :)
Yeah, a new one and working well.

Thanks a lot Komachi!
Nice video, thanks for sharing :)
No problem, thanks for watching!
I hope you do some cps1 A board repairs
I think we can work something out there ;)
wow another quick fix repair (not nearly as fast as legendary wings from yesterday, but a close 2nd, haha.) definitely one I need to fire up again!
Thanks for the video Luke. That game looks pretty fun too!
Did you delist the original video where you unboxed these boards?
Yeah, and I thought i saw a listing for Legendary Wings but not anymore.
Yes, Unfortunately there were a couple of reasons why I needed to delist it but if you were able to see it at the time then thank you.

Thank you Tony
luck or experience?? anyway nice one dude (are you sure the chip was bad? the ic-socket looked bad perhaps reseat the chip could do the trick aswell?)

@@lukemorse1 COOL and yes having a board that works makes things a lot easier :) NICE love these video's thanxs
7:07 you ruined your catchphrase. I was all "Yeah he said it" and then you added more. Next video maybe ;)
Great video
Haha, never know what will happen with the spur of the moment unscripted vids. Will try again next time and thanks again.
lucky luke indeed!
Sometimes thats enough :)
I've been looking for Schematics for this board. Do you have a copy of them? Thank you!

Hey Luke, I got a Magic Sword that needs some work. Wanna try your hand on it?
You'll have to let me know what you are thinking about doing with it. Ive still got a stack of stuff here to go through but if you are considering parting with it, let me know :)
@@lukemorse1 I will!
What happened with the Legendary Wings video Mr. Luke?
Unfortunately, It wasnt repaired so I need to "actually" repair it lol. Not sure what the issue is with it but Ill try to figure it out and if I can, Ill reupload the video :)
Loved the genesis port as a kid
Awesomeness! Retro nostalgia central
Bien joué et du premier coup✌️🕹
I would have thought that a DSP (that TMS32010) would be a fairly expensive part for an arcade game, but maybe not.
Nice, if only they were all as easy as that to repair.
Haha! soo true Ste, SOOO True!
