Never seen a Rampart before. Interesting one !
My son would love a game like that...building fortresses and battling in mediaeval times.

Moonwalker and Outrun sure are nice. Moonwalkers rose in price a LOT after Michael's death but I'm sure they eased out now...I never played the original although I remember seeing it in the arcades...

Yes the connector is inserted correctly, just make sure it is centered properly.

The point is that it can't be centered, it's either left or right if I look at those pics....

No it must be centred, I should know I used to own one.

The actual connector is undersized, to the point that it never reaches the ends of the socket when plugged in, thus cannot be locked in.  Im not sure why Namco adopted this method.  I remember it causing me some confusion too when I was restoring the cab.

However, the number of pins in the socket and number of holes in the plug connector match, just make sure you centre it and house all the pins.

Do not offset the plug connector, and label TOP should be visable like in your pic.

Equites thank you so much you saved my starblade  :D

ok 3 small problem

1 the chair keep on rumbling like crazy out of control so i had to plug it out

2 the screen is a bit out of focus

3 and the gun is not centered i should turn it slightly to the right so i can center my shooting

and what up with these annoying flash lamp that keep on flashing is that normal??  :o

is there a way to calibrate the gun

oh and i forgot to mention all the games i got have no keys so eventually i have to drill them and change the locks
so my question is where the dip-switch located in starblade ??

i cant find it on the back

thank you in advance

On one of the PCB´s, that would be my guess...

Reset the pcbs in the pcb stack.

Putting mame in it is a crime IMO and you'll lose the seat vibration and strobes
