New classic flash carts

I should be getting my Everdrive MD and Super Everdrive flash carts in a couple of weeks. I’ll get a few photos up when they arrive.

Everdrive is a new flash cart for classic consoles. So far KRIKzz has produced boards for Mega Drive, Super Nintendo and Master System.

Check out his site for more info for now: http://krikzz.com/

Scud Race restoration continues..

I think I have just as much fun working on arcade machines as I do playing them. I also think I’ve been luck with this machine in that so far I have found nothing that I cant either replace or improve. Now that the cab is fully working I have moved to smartening it up.

New T-Moulding fitted

New T-Moulding

The new t-moulding was from eBay, it was a bit of a pain to fit as the groove was routed at least 2mm wider than the new plastic was intended for. Plenty of hot glue fixed that though.

Vinyl Replacement

The top sections of the side art were very scratched and pitted. The solid red was easy to replace with a new sheet from vinyldepot on eBay.
