I recently obtained this from another member of The Dumping Union group, if you’ve seen my Tourvision posts then you’ll understand how eager I was to obtain a similar unit for a different system.\u00a0 So without further ado, here it is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what this system does, is allow you to run SNES games in an arcade cabinet with credit based or time based play.\u00a0 It knows about 75 games \/ variants which have credit support (if enabled on dips), and unknown games are set to time based play.\u00a0 Switcher text is overlaid on the SNES output like a TV OSD, the picture is actually quite dim and I had to use a lot of boost to get a decent one.\u00a0 Time can be configured in 5,10,15 and 20 minute blocks per coin.\u00a0 The player can select game (if enabled, I’m still trying to establish exactly how the dips work for this) by holding button 3 and pushing the joystick left – there’s no instructions for this on screen and it took a while to find.\u00a0 It also appears to cycle through different games in attract for a couple of minutes each.\u00a0 For time based games the timer starts flashing as it’s about to expire and coins can be inserted to extend it.\u00a0 When the timer runs out the motherboard simply makes the SNES reset ending your game rather abruptly.<\/p>\n
