Sega Universal -> New Net City Rebuild

I bought a chopped Sega Naomi Universal arcade cabinet in the spring and I wanted to clean it up and turn it into a Sega New Net City:



Wanted to freshin the paint up and give it a good cleaning. Around this time I bought a US PFX to replace the 31k Nanao it came with. But I had just bought a New Astro and had no where to put it at my house. So I dismantled it and stored at work in a closet. Being the noob that I am. I took lots of pics of the dismantle and labled bag after bag of all the parts. Finally, I just made some room and had time to rebuild it over the holidays. Still working on the PFX power adapter, but wanted to get it working to play for the next week. So here is my rebuild in all of its glory. :P Reading this post is what really inspired me to do this:

I had my friend paint some of the plastics in Appliance Gloss White. I wanted to do the metal base and doors also but I just didnt have the recources or time. I focused on what I could do. I magic erased the **** out of everything I could. I bought a NNC kit from Craig @:

Also sourced a new marquee holder. Bought new parts when I could. A new marquee, buttons, and sticks. Bought a cheap Naomi board with broken Gd-Rom for cheap. Adjusted the Gd-Rom laser pot and fixed. Magic erased the whole Naomi board and good as new. Resoldered the RCAs on the cabinet sound amp to fix sound problems. Replaced dead Sun psu fan. Then I started the rebuild of my chopped Uni.



















































































Put the OG Nanao 31k until I have the PFX adapter sorted. Lent out my only Naomi game so threw in my Xbox360 pad hacks and tested out SF4. Everything turned on and ran great. Pretty surprised being I know nothing about this stuff. I owe it all to Arcade Otaku!

Wii New Super Mario Bros. 1up Trick!

So Ive been playing the New Super Mario Bros on the Wii. Its just like the OG Nes version just more refined and added moves. You still have 2 buttons and the D-pad, but you can do so much with them. We like to get extra lives in level 2-3. Mid ways through there is a pipe up in the air. Go in this pipe and hit the p block and you get six 1ups. Now at the end of this level there is a turtle coming down the stairs before the flag pole. I instantly was reminded of the 1up trick in the Nes Mario Bros. World 3-1 where the 2 turtles are coming down the steps. It looks a little something like this:



Well after many times through 2-3 I finally did it. So if you want a quick way to get 99 men, this is pretty nice. I find standing on the edge of the 3rd step and doing a little jump to start it off works the best.

Well Im still stuck in Telluride. So I started to edit pics from my trip so far. On our way here we stopped off in Albuquerque to visit a friend. While there I came across the craziest sign:




So after dinner we decided to check it out. We ended up playing 18 holes and it was very fun. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend stopping by.
