Title: Open Shed II
Post by: Muerto on January 22, 2014, 08:38:12 PM
January the 10th to the 12th, I held Open Shed II - we where 15 arcade phreaks to this meeting, and when they where not playing games, they ate or where asleep  ;D
The doors opened on Friday at 19:30, and I turned off the games Saturday morning at 05:30.. they where powered on again at 10:30, and someone else turned them off Saturday morning at 05:30... once again I applied power at 10:00, and the last guests left The Shed at 16:45
Apart from Berzerk (that died Saturday morning around 02:30) every game came through with flying colors!!
A really really fun weekend, where 15+ new records was made!!! - scroll down to see pics  :)

The 3 first pictures was snapped before anyone was here....

Atm theres a cozy 18 degrees in there, and after a few hours of playing its about 22-24 degrees.
Theres a door in each end, so 1 minute of them being open its ok to be in there again!

interesting! do you simply plug this into existing harness or do you have to solder a new edge connector? and what's the daughter card for?

No need to solder anything - this is the new edge connector:
