Title: Midway Hyperdrive (saving/coin-up/cosmetic)
Post by: ironblock on November 29, 2014, 03:13:43 am
so i have been working on my hyperdrive had to re-wire the steering wheel and the view buttons.
and all controls work now.
i also found the manual that fits the motherboard : http://www.gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade//Manual/formated/NFL_Blitz_-_1997_-_Midway_Games.pdf
its not the same game but it is the same pcb  only a 50 mhz slower cpu.

saving

the game does save the settings but not for a long time.
i thought it would save the data on the hdd.
i have not been able to check the button cell on the pcb (i will soon)
but i think that is for the internal clock.

coin-up

living in an European country i would like it to accept 50 euro cents. and it only takes 2 euro coins
if it were a mechenical coinmech i would just replace it.
but it has a c220b coinmech. i have read that you can change it with the dip switches near the eprom
but i have not found any dip switches.

cosmetic

the left control pannel is a bit busted. and some side art is a bit scratched up.

this is how it is supposed to look.

if you have any suggestions how to fix this tell me. i have access to a 3d scanner but not a printer. (can send the files to a company tho)
and i don't have the 3d skills to fix it in 3d

side art photos coming soon

will add more along the way.
