... I notice a  problem on the flight yoke  :?  One of the four push buttons doesn't work  :oops:
It's not a big problem when you play the game because all the four buttons on the flight yoke have the same fonction -> fire laser  :twisted:  ...
... but when you go to test mode, the non-working button allows to go back in all the menu, so it's important to fix it  :roll:

Ok, let's start to dissassemble the specific part on the flight yoke :



...and discover the 14 years old dust  :oops:  :roll: ... Oh my good...



... and place all the parts to clean & examine closer :



I can't dissassemble deeper...



Ok, I see the problem : a metal part, very used can't make contact with anoter metallic part :x
Here's the ref of the full switch :  OMRON B3G-S
Of course, this 14 years old switch seems to be a discontinued product... So I can't swap my defect one with a new one :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

I'll continue to search for new one on the web, but I HAVE to fix this one first !!!
I've to place something between the contact and the press button part... Something very small ... :idea:  :idea:  :idea:
I'll use a part of  floppy disk !



The floppy disk has been destroyed to get this tiny part of plastic :



I fix the tiny piece of plastic on the metal part ( contact ) :


and it's working great !!!  :P  :P  :P  :P


But I'll continue to search for new switchs ...

So... stay tuned  :roll:

Well, I can resist anymore... I've to play my StarBlade  :oops:  So I put the cleaning process for l8ter, and decide to assemble all the parts  ( monitor + seat )  :P
To fix the monitor is the most thrilling moment... 3 guys are required for this operation (cfr the operators manual ), and I agree it's really heavy  :?

Here's the Starblade, partially assembled, but with enough parts to play it  :roll:  :P



...and the game running :









Yeah  :twisted:  The game is like I remember it in my golden age : S PE C T A C U L A R   :wink:
Surround sounds, vibrant seat, giant screen, ... and FUN !!!

Next part is to assemble the remaining parts ( fixing bars, marquee, ... )... and of course PLAYING IT !!! It"s a great game... still great after all these years !!!

... so to be continue...

Sinon, tu peux toujours m'envoyer un mail pour des trucs vraiement privé  8)  ( hum hum, enfin on se comprends  :wink:  )

A+++

Hey, pas mal... avoir l'image sur ton moniteur, c'est ce qu'il y a de plus important et de plus dur... le reste ( les pads XBox ) ne devrait pas être trop compliqué  :wink:

J'ai pas de Xbox... Y a que pour Out Run 2, et House of Dead III que cela m'interesserais ... enfin j'connais pas trop les jeux Xbox en fait  :roll:

Bon sang House of Death III avec le gun, ca doit être trop mortel  8)

Des photos, des photos !!!  :P

...Wednesday, the 27th of  april...

... like most of Road Trip, it starts very early...



... a little bit cold, and the sky is still dark at 6:41am, but I'm in the state 'RoadTrip', so I'm cool ;-)

For that game, I need a truck !!!



Of course, I cannot do this roadtrip alone, so I call one of my best friend 'Burt'



He's ill, the picture don't show that, but I assure you he's Ill !!! Thanks for him for being there anyway... Burt, you rock :-)

So we start to drive to France ( Remember, I'm from Belgium )



This is the first time I'm driving such truck..

After two hours of driving, a little pause, and I take  an other picture of the truck :



On the road again... again...



Hey, the cops are there...



No stress, there no game inside the truck... yet :-)

After 3h30 of driving...



... here we are, at Meyenheim near Colmar... 350km from home  :twisted:

The seller 'Philippe' is very cool... here's his room :



The STARBLADE  is there !!! But there is also a Virtua Racing and a Road Drivin' cab

Ok, let's prepare it for loading...



... it takes times...



Start to load it  :roll:

Loud Loud Loud !!!



Loud Loud Loud !!!

All is loaded  :P



Arghh, time to pay for it...   :cool:



Closing the door... and one more StarBlade saved ;-)



Argh, now we're hungry

Jesus Christ, a MacDo there... "Abemus Papam"



Well, no wasted times, I've to bring back the truck before 18:00



... We must pay for driving on the french highway  :evil:



Few hours later, the Belgium border is near... near... near ;-)



Well, the real job start here... How to get in this monster into my house ?

Hopefully, I've got some help ;-)



...pull of the seat...



... the main part... hopefully we're four of us !!!



Yeah, there are wheels ... it helps ;-)



How to put in the main part without destroy the border's door ?

There is the key  :!



Nice idea, isn't it ? ;-)



Showtime... ;-)



YEAHH, it's in  :P



Good general state; but it need to be washed up

There is the monitor... very loud



Let's put in the seat + fligh yoke...



I've no more space in the room, So I pull out the Virtua Fighter



... so loud:roll:  :roll:  :roll:



Ok, the seat now !!!



After unloaded all the 3 pieces :



I've to clean it up, then I'll assemble it & PLAY IT  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Stay tuned for the preparation :-)

Salut Codex,

Ben il me semplait que l'adaptateur Xbox -> Jamma ne convertissait uniquement que les controls, pas la video  :?:  :!:

As tu encore le problème ? L'image est désynchro ? ou alors elle roule et tu n'arrive pas la stabiliser ?
J'ai déjà eu ce genre de blague, utilise tu un jeu PAL ou NTSC ? Je sais pas pour la Xbox; mais cela change le type de signal pour la PS2... Sinon, il te reste comme solution de hack VGA pour la video; et tu pourrais utiliser le convertisseur pour les controls ?

...WOW, it's been a while about this cab...  :?

Well, here's a must-have for this cab :

Pfff, oui c'est penible ca... J'vois vraiment pas le plaisir de ceux qui font cela...

Je vais checker les autres possibilitées que tu cites, en esperant que je puisse importer la DB du forum actuel dans les autres programmes  :?

Je devrais peut etre mes Works in Progress directement sur le site, et non sur le forum...

Merci pour tes conseils et a+  8)
