Taito Operation Tiger Arcade PCB Partial Pinouts And Wiring Information
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- This is one of those boards you don't see a lot of, but on top of that, there is zero information as to the wiring of it anywhere...
(This may be a long shot but if anyone has a manual with the pinouts and they could upload it, that would be great!).
Because of this, I spent quite a bit of time trying to poke around and find the necessary points to get this board running however, it is far from complete.
Here are some pictures of the filter board and the location of some pinouts to get this board to power up, display an image, and start a game.
Unfortunately I still haven't found the gun pot analog pinouts nor the speaker outputs yet as I was trying to get the game running first.
I wanted to try to illustrate the pins on the filter board but also where they would be located without the filter board (as some people may not have this piece).
I have tried my best to point out some of the power points as well as the Test, Coin in, Player 1 and 2 start buttons, and the select and back button for the test menu.
Although I have done my best here to find the various pins, There is a possibility something may not be 100% correct therefore I accept no responsibility if there are any mistakes with the pins.
Please use this information at your own risk
The pinouts were checked for operation on the filter board and I was able to get the game running but for my pcb, there is some graphic corruption (I believe caused by bad ram) so I still need to figure things out here.
Once again, because there was no information on the net, I wanted to put this out there to help out a little. Hopefully, if you have this board and you have been struggling to get it going, you can now at least get it to try to boot up.
I realized this game is very picky about the monitor as well. I think it needs a 25khz? monitor or multi-sync monitor to display a stable picture. If not, the image will just roll and flash. If you run it through s-video, you will see white lines only that are scrunched up. It also didnt sync properly with a CGA to VGA converter either.
The pins marked on the first picture refer to the following:
The G1 connector top row (Pins 33-64 are all Ground/Earth)
This connector has pins 32 and 31 for +12v , Pins 30 and 29 for +13v (Used for the Audio Amp I believe), 28, 27, 26 are +5v
Pins 7 to 10 are all for video.
REVISED VIDEO PINOUTS for this PCB
On the "V" connector, the correct pins are Pin 1=Red, Pin 2= Green, Pin 3=Blue, Pin 4= Sync, Pins 5/6=Ground (GND).
If you dont have the filter board "G1" pins, the pinout for video is 7 = RED, 8= Green, 9=Blue, 10= Sync, . I originally had Red and Green backwards but when I switched them around again, the colors came back. The characters look human again and less zombie like. This revised pinout is correct. If you are watching the video, you will need to switch Green and Red only. (They were connected to each other when I did a continuity check).
Connector S appears to be for the sub board related to the guns. (unsure of pinouts)
Connector C has the middle row of pins 33, 34, 35, 36 as +12V. (there were other points as well in the middle row but that should be enough. double check pin 36 as well) Pins 73 to 78 are all Ground.
Pin 57 is the "Select/Enter" button for the test menu and Pin 56 is the "Cancel/Back" button for the test menu *There is a possibility that these are also "shoot or bomb"? Im not 100% on it. Feel free to let me know below.
Pin 95 is Coin in (also connected to the G2 connector) and Pin 93 is Player 1 Start
Connector P is the power input area and it distributes power to the other pins mentioned above.
The nice part about this is there were test points (TP) above the connector which made it much easier to figure out what the power rails were.
The far left Pin 1 is +12v, Pin 2=+13v, Pin 3, 4, 5 = +5V, Pins 6, 7, 8, 9 = Ground
Connector G2 has odd numbered pins i.e. 1, 3, 7 , 9 etc on the bottom row and even number pins i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, etc on the top row.
The pins I have found so far are:
Pins 50, 49, 48, 47 = GND , Pins 46, 45, 44 = +5V, Pins 43, 42 =+12v, Pin 39 = P2 Start, Pin 38 = Coin In, Pin 35 = Test ( * it is also Pin 91 on the "C" Connector which I forgot to label). Pin 34= P1 Start, Pin 30 = "Select/Enter/ maybe shoot"?, Pin 28 = "Back/Cancel/maybe bomb"?
The pins in between the other pins (not mentioned) read around 4.38v when I was probing them. I dont know which ones are the Analog inputs yet but Im guessing they are somewhere around there If anyone finds out, please post below
Double check the picture and the information here to double check it is correct and then try your board out and see if it boots up.
A bit of a write up here but just trying to contribute some info here that will hopefully prove useful to someone out there lol.

Luke I have watched you since I was 12 years old and now I’m 25. You have inspired me to collect video games and visit japan. It will be my 3rd trip to japan in March and It’s all because of you lol. Hope you are doing well man and thanks for uploading.
It makes me happy to hear that. I'm glad that videos have had such a positive impact on you Chuck! I hope you have another wonderful trip to Japan and find something good while you are here!
Man that’s a monster of a pcb board. No wonder people are having issues finding the right pin-outs.
Its a bit of a beast for sure. The biggest problem is there dont seem to be any of these cabinets out there and the people who may have operator's manuals, dont realize how important they are now lol. Thanks for checking the vid and heres to hopefully finding the right pinouts soon!
Back again Luke! 😀👏we need some new "out and about" Back again Luke videos please! 🙏🙏
Haha, Yeah, I need to find another spot that I can visit and get some more footage. Not sure when it will happen but hopefully sometime this year lol. Thank you :)
*REVISED VIDEO PINOUTS for this PCB*
On the "V" connector, the correct pins are Pin 1=Red, Pin 2= Green, Pin 3=Blue, Pin 4= Sync, Pins 5/6=Ground (GND)
If you dont have the filter board and only have the "G1" pins, the pinout is 7 = RED, 8= Green, 9=Blue, 10= Sync, .
I originally had Red and Green backwards but when I switched them around again, the colors came back. The characters look human again and less zombie like. This revised pinout is correct. If you are watching the video, you will need to switch Green and Red only. I will post updated pictures on the forum as well.
i appreciate the time you put in to making video's, love to see those boards and im always looking out for your videos even if its something that i have no clue about :)
Thanks Luke
Lol, thank you so much. My hope is that a couple of these vids can help out some people. I know that the works of others have helped me out with repairs so it's only fair to give back. Hope you are doing well :)
I have no idea what you’re talking about but I’m entertained
Another brilliant video Luke and very intuitive, will be looking forward to watching more on it and seeing how you progress to get it fully working.
Thanks David! I was able to fix the issues with the colors and now the colors display fine. Just waiting on the ram to see if that fixes the character issue.
@@lukemorse1 will be looking forward to seeing finished board and game play.
Welcome back Luke, super rare PCB here... really fascinating to see it.
Thanks a million my friend. Not pumping out the videos as much as I used to but hope these are still somewhat interesting. Hope your new year is going well!
Thanks for showing your progress so far, what a challenge.
No problem at all.
Eventually it would be nice to get this thing fully running and playable sometime soon. Thanks a lot Mr.Brooks!
I love this kind of videos
Thank you so much for watching!
Belated Gregorian and Lunar New Years to you Luke 😊🎉
And a Happy belated Gregorian / Lunar New Year right back at you my friend! I hope this year is starting off on the right foot for you and wishing you the best as we move forward!!
Another awesome video Luke my friend 🙂
Welcome back Luke, been a while since your last episode, hope you can make a PCB repair or restoration for Namco system 369 (PS3 slim based motherboard) or Namco system ES3
Hi Karl, thanks. As as far as the ES3 or 369 goes, I dont have either one as of now. I did put up a video on the namco 357 arcade repair but I believe that if you look for ps3 slim repair videos on YT they may help as the basic hardware is the same. Hopefully you can find something on that! On a side note, If you are located in the UK, AndyGeezer (the owner of AGS amusement) is a master in the field of arcade PC hardware. Check him out online here or AGS Amusements if you get the chance!
Nice job happy new year to you n family
Thank you very much as always Tony! very kind words and I thank you! I hope that you and your loved ones also have a very nice year this year!
Nice share, hope all's good in your side of the world Luke ✌️
Thanks as always man. Hope you had a good holiday. Things are going well and wishing you the best too!
Scuffed video lol. But, But. Luke coming in, in the clutch for those who really
need this board and want to watch something and have someone help them.
Great Video and I am sure those who need it will be happy enough you did it.
Thanks for the positive vibes as always my friend. There a a lot of these old games that people have never put out there and still limited information on them so Im just trying to help out in that sense. Even if it helps 1 person get their board going, That would be awesome for me. Hope you are doing well and thanks again!
Very useful info Luke =D
Thanks a million man. Your in-depth trouble shooting vids are also very valuable :)
I'll probably never see this board in person, but... お疲れ様
You never know but if you do see one, and this video is still up, make sure to stop back again😁! あざす！
I do have Zuntata's soundtrack for the game. It is rare. I would upload it for everyone to listen to, but I am afraid of the people here, so that is why I cannot upload it....
Im sure it would be fine to upload the soundtrack, you could just turn the comments off which might help. Honestly though, it is up to you in the end but pretty cool that you have that. Take care
@@lukemorse1 OK. Thank you, my friend. 😀
Always saving games
In the later versions the special stages where removed.
Hey Luke...I have a bootleg Jamma Arkanoid and I want to know what the pinouts are....how would i do this?? The taito jamma to taito conversion adapater wont work with it. I think the pin outs on the bootleg are different? Thanks buddy
It's been a while since your last video Mr. Luke.
I know...
I need to try to get some more out there for sure lol.
Hope you are doing well and things are starting off nicely in 2023 :)
@@lukemorse1 Same to you pal.
luke
Thank you RA
