I'm very close, to own a Bubble bobble pcb :D
that one of my favorite game EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
i spend hours playing that game on my old (amstrad cpc)
and a few extra on M.A.M.E....
For some reasons the pcb is a bit hard to find, few time saw it on ebay, but it always pass the $200 mark :cry:
one time i found one from a collector, but he got a bit greedy and try to sell it to me for $399 :shock: (yheaaaaaa right....)
last week i finally saw one for a good price, but at risk :?
the seller as only 2 feedback on ebay :roll: but he list the pcb as working with wiring harness AND marquee :wink:
i know that i score a few good deal from minimum feedback ebay member.. ($25 for a golden axe 2 )
just hope everything get ok with that deal.
next step , will be to build a jamma loom , it should be easy coz the wires are already there ....
that the picture of the auction.....

BUBBLE BOBBLE :P :P :P
It's common to see the modern adapatation pcb on ebay : Bubble Memories, Bubble Symphony... but very uncommon to see the orginial 86' pcb at a raisonable price :?
I remember playing it at the time :) , but I honestly can't remember if the game was in a dedicated cab' :?
On Klov, there is a picture of a Bubble Bobble cab' :

... but I don't know if there was a true dedicated cab...
Anyway, it's a true classic :D I hope you'll catch it.
DO you have a generic cab to put it in :roll: :?:

bubbe bobble was sell as a "convertion kit"
i never saw an original cab, even after intense research on the net...
i'm in the process to get few "double jamma adapter" so some cabs will have some hidden games :wink:
easy to switch games, just by pressing player 1 & 2 at the same time....
1942 & 1943 will be the first one.
another one very soon will be kung fu master & vigilante, in the same cab.
bubble bobble will team with tetris :D
i will post more details later about this double team games :D

I'm thinking about doing the same job with my Xevious cab, who's running a jamma Namco Collection 1 pcb (Xevious, Galaga & Mappy / original + arrangement versions )
I plan to get the Namco Collection 2 ( Pac Man, Dig Dug & Rally X / original + arrangement versions ) and use a double jamma adapter like you :o
Is it expensive ? Where to buy it ?
By the way, I remember to see these cab' with two games inside, but it was a manual switch, close to the coin door...
-
well, mike's arcade sell it.. a bit expensive, but all the cables are there :)
on that one you have 2 choices:
-press player 1 and 2 at the same time to change games (no need of extra buttons)
-or install a button to switch games, directly from a pin on the jamma harness....

http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=DBLJAMMA
this include 2 (1/2) foot jamma cables...
i use to know somebody who sell them cheaper , but he doesnt include the cables.
i just contact him to see if he has more .....
and that one, is going to be for my double dragon cab :lol:
8 games in one cab :shock:

8) i just got it last night ...
the marquee is in perfect condition, and the pcb look ok.
i love the logo on one of the chips...
i tried to start the jamma loom, but i was surprise to see so many connectors :shock:
usually most pcb have 1...
on the part side , you have a 44 pins connector (for the controls)
on the solder side, you have ANOTHER connector, this one is 36 pin (most of it is +5 and gnd
and also on the pcb a molex 12 pins connector, for +5/+12+and -5.... :roll:
i will post some pictures later....
hope it work :|

The good new is that your pcb has standart voltage +-5 and +12V...
The bad thing is that you'll have to do several 'custom' wires :?
...take your time, do a clean job (like you already for your other games :wink: ) ... and that Bubble Bobble pcb will rise again... at the ArcadeFever's Lair :P :P :P
Wanna see it runing soon INSIDE the cab' :o :wink:
