Wow Brian! Not that good lol. Im like the scavenger of arcade boards just pulling them from the trash and putting them back in action. Thanks a lot for the kind words and hope you are doing well
Cheers buddy, hope you're keeping well!😁 It's always seemed like you have the patience of a saint when dealing with these repairs. Stuff that most people would take one look at and toss out the nearest window.
Amazing salvage/rebuild, man. It's awesome to see these long-form sequence videos all cut together like this, it's like binge watching a whole season of something on netflix. I fear to imagine the untold projects that never survived these operations sometimes, though. That would be a cool video, going over some of the PCB tragedies and unsalvageable catastrophes you've experienced in your years of electronic surgery. ..and Electronic Surgery really needs to be a metal band.
Goodness Luke, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate videos like this. You know how to bring these boards back from the dead instead of just replacing some caps and randomly spraying alcohol. None of that! Just really awesome repair work. I've enjoyed watching this one a lot. Hope you're well. I like the fluffy sweater by the way :)
Hey my friend, always glad to hear from you. Yeah, these boards are usually the ones that are ready for the dumpster and Im just trying to get them running again. Always a challenge but glad to see the results when they fire up :) As for the sweater, these homes here are Cooooold lol. Almost need polar bear fur to stay warm. Hope you are doing well too
To unbend pins I use an automatic pencil (I place the pin inside the tip of the automatic pencil and then use it as a lever to unbend the pin) or the tip of a mechanical pen.
Hi there Luke, Hope all is well. Great to see a new video. It's always fun to see you check out and repair a board. Lengthy video is no problem, certain videos are worth every minute! :)
Hey Mark. Always good to hear from you man. Im still here working on these old boards from time to time. Glad you are still checking out the vids man and hope you are doing well with that beautiful open back yard of yours!
This was fun and cool to stick with it until the end. I find this very interesting and fun to watch. Thanks Luke. Can't wait to see if this board gets fully repaired or not. Great job.
Thanks for the support and kind words, always appreciated. There are a few boards that I just cant get going again but most of them survive the trash bin lol.
@@lukemorse1 sure thing man. I'm doing good too by the way thanks. 👍 I watched an old video of yours earlier on how to clean super famicom games and it was pretty good too
WOW that was a very badly crushed PCB! Fascinating to watch another repair video, love these. Very entertaining to see if it will work in the end, keep up the great work Luke :) Hopefully get to see some more Japan travel around videos when things calm down in the world, stay safe.
I have repaired a few arcade boards when I was active in the hobby, but they had much more basic faults, like chips legs that needed to be soldered back down and missing parts. Great work. My theory is that these boards must have been thrown around like frisbies when they failed to make a profit for the operators that ran them back in the day. I have one Konami board like this, a Martial Champion, but the sound circuit board is only 10% physically there...a long ago impact shattered the part. I still have a faint hope to get it working again (without sound) with my limited knowledge. Someone also stole all socketed chips from my board, so there's that to deal with too. I have a high res scan of an original board so it's something of a plan in my head.
The basic repairs are still repairs and can make the difference between a working and dead board. I honestly dont think that arcade operators really wanted these old boards once the newest ones came in and yes, like you said, they came out of the cab, thrown on a shelf and destroyed. Still, many old coin ops just throw these boards around until they pile up and when they go to test them, they dont work. After that, they put them up for sale and people like us try to fix them up again. Hopefully you can get your board up and running in the future but see if you can find another board that uses the same chips. Maybe you can find a broken board (different kind) and harvest the parts from it to fix yours :) Thanks a lot for watching
The waiting process to get the parts is so long and uncertain. Once the parts come in , and they work, it makes a world of difference :) thanks a million
Thanks a lot man. Honestly way too much. The replacement parts exceeded the cost of the board x3 but at least it is working now. Although difficult, it was worth it.
WOW, just WOW Luke!!!!!!! :-D Just an amazing video repair once again, so much details with tracking error down, repairing them, etc, etc!!!! And look now, a perfectly working board!!!! ;-) You are the one and only man, I enjoy and really like your stuff, from repairs videos to just collection videos, you're the man!!!! With GadgetUK you are both real repairers (If that word exists :-p) Hope you're well with the Covid thing, keep it real, keep it well and healthy, best regards man!!!! (y)
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, it really means a lot. Repairs come on many levels for sure but these extreme ones are the boards that people literally throw in the garbage. I just try to give them one last shot. Hope you too are staying well and thanks again
I had not heard of this game before playing in MAME. Though the arcade I went to as a kid had Devastators, which people said, yeah, GI Joe was pretty much a sequel to that game, with the added license.
@@lukemorse1 maybe so but your videos along with Retrogametech helped motivate me to keep trying, keep learning and do more. I'd not be doing my job working for an independant retro and modern (and lol everything else we sell now) video game store today were it not for your funky camera angles :D
This is the classic Luke videos I love, cheers for the video mate. Glad to see you still at it. Maybe one day you may even return to the Golden Tee 2 I sent you hahaha XD.
Thanks a lot Dave. I really appreciate it a lot. That old board you sent a long time ago was unfortunately so far gone due to the elements I couldnt fix it. It was overheating and burning out my supergun do to all of the shorts on the board. The severely eaten traces also make repair impossible. I ....couldnt...fix that board unfortunately man. Sorry for that but thanks for putting your hope in the idea I might have been able to :)
@@lukemorse1 I joke brother, I could see it was trashed man, just wanted to send it to the boss for final inspection before it got binned. I've been looking for an original GTG joystick version board so I can consolise it and make a cool case for it. I love that game! FOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!
A very unique game for sure Jeremy, I totally agree! Ive managed to save this one from the trash and really glad to have been able to. One board at a time. Thanks again!
I actually bought a gopro a few months ago and wasnt really happy with the segmenting feature and recording results so I sold it off. I like having the ability to move around freely without having to think about the camera angles when doing repairs so I dont think even an overhead mounted camera would work for me. Just depends on the person I think.
Thanks a lot Eddie. If you have some broken stuff you are thinking about throwing out, feel free to give it a fix yourself (as long as it isnt too dangerous like a microwave, tv, or high voltage device) and maybe you too can fix it up.
@@lukemorse1 no problem I do hear you!! and you are right!! I have some experience in TV and video repairing when I finished my study and I have touched the 1200V that drives the flyback that is *#&@ shocking anyway playing around with computers is much more satisfying (everything above 12V is tooooo dangerous), keep on doing these amazing repairs!!! (just to let you know: I have a neo geo 6 slot board that I want to repair if I do get some spare time, so I'm checking a lot of your videos.... cool stuff)
I always have a lot of respect to the people who can do this so much precise and time consuming work ^^ I wonder how many days of work did you take for this salvation? I'm sure most of us viewers don't even imagine the amount of work required for this kind of project. To redo these traces I'm usually use a 0.1mm diameter enamelled wire, and cover it by solder mask. For showing the repair process, maybe a microscope with HDMI output and capture the video with some streaming software could do the trick?
Hey Luke I just watched one of your old videos! A Michigander originally! Who would have thought. I've been watching your channel since I went to Bay College. Just saying hey from the Upper Penninsula!
Never played this game, I always seem to enjoy seeing arcade game glitches, anyone else the same. I was also expecting a beat'em up along the lines of Turtles but it was quite interesting change of pace for Konami to make a run and gun. Might give it a try on mame one day.
For me too. I kind of like the glitches.....as long as they go away after a while lol. This is a quite unique game from konami. I love the music and the sprites flying toward you as you are walking, really cool for its time. A short game but pretty neat.
According to Caius the 051550 is actually the system watchdog and handles coin counting as well. Good luck trying to get a new AD1868 to put onto the Konami audio hybrids. Those are high-end DACs used in automotive head units and are VERY hard to get right now unless you're willing to order 100 or more at $10-15 apiece!
I noticed that the three resistor you checked. Between the modules. Had R.G.B. next to each module. So it could be the one you replaced may handle the synchronization of the video.
Thanks man. Yeah, I went out on a limb here but this thing was totaled. I had to source the broken QFP needed for the missing graphics from another board and the total cost of it, including the video dac, QFP, eproms and ram brought the price up x3. The video chip alone was $50 with shipping :/
Really kind of you to say, I appreciate it. The system 16,18, boards can be tricky as the ram fails or surface mounted chips go bad or crack away. I hope you get it fixed up soon!
Not often could I describe a board's history as "Rasputinian". Good grief, I'm wondering how this thing got to that point in the first place. My single worst screwup - a ground fault on a Telcon Zorba which wiped a bunch of chips - wasn't even a quarter that bad.
Not fun whatsoever. ChipQuick works well for this but it is expensive and you really have to watch the temperature with these konami qfp's. I tried to remove one once from another board and suddently "Pop!", it split the top of the chip wide open. Heating from the bottom and top is the best and getting the chips off quick is key.
Hng. Those cracks... You just know they'll propagate :) Tried drilling holes? (Only do this on two-layer boards or if you know where all the traces are). Had great success with it but it's time consuming
haha, Yeah, these multi layer boards made by konami are so tricky as to where the copper is or isnt and I tried drilling once on a broken xmen board which caused even more issues with the board.. good times for sure.
Hi Luke, i have this board and I also noticed there are minor glitches in some stages, does that mean I have to re-set the eproms too? And I also noticed the left channel stereo output doesnt work if I use the onboard 4-pin stereo output(jamma sound is good)
Some people have more money than sense. No respect. This G.I Joe game is worth upwards USD 1K but not this one. I would freak if someone on eBay sold me this board. G.I Joe is on my list of boards to get in the future for my collection.
Hello, the version of your game (ABA) is not dumped and added to MAME. It would be great if you could read and submit the code to the MAME team for implementation. Greetings...
Haha, I wanted to make a video just like that. One where people could just sit back and watch with some snacks. Acheived! lol. Thanks as always my friend
Don't send that piece of crap back into the wild without marking it in some kind of way that it's been repaired and doesn't have its original chips like getting their Repro or some s***
I got X-Men that is working for sometime. And like boots up fine but then after 8 mins the video starts loosening its back ground video images. Like intros look blocky and words look blocky. But the characters in the game look totally fine. And the game looks like it's playing fine. I can reboot the game and it's fine till 8 mins later again
Luke changes the definition of what is not repairable.
Luke is the Bob Ross of board repair.
Wow Brian! Not that good lol. Im like the scavenger of arcade boards just pulling them from the trash and putting them back in action. Thanks a lot for the kind words and hope you are doing well
"Look at all the happy IC pins..."
Luke always manages to find these boards that look like they were attacked by a wild animal 😂
Haha, thanks Adam. Yeah, they may come from the same place in the wilderness lol.
Cheers buddy, hope you're keeping well!😁 It's always seemed like you have the patience of a saint when dealing with these repairs. Stuff that most people would take one look at and toss out the nearest window.
Amazing salvage/rebuild, man. It's awesome to see these long-form sequence videos all cut together like this, it's like binge watching a whole season of something on netflix.

Thanks a million. I really appreciate the support and kind words. Keeps the motivation up and glad you could enjoy it.
You just resurrected my childhood, great repair!
To unbend pins I use an automatic pencil (I place the pin inside the tip of the automatic pencil and then use it as a lever to unbend the pin) or the tip of a mechanical pen.
Good stuff. So many different ways to do it and many of them are effective. A sewing needle also works wonders :) Thanks for checking out the vid
@@lukemorse1 Thank you for making the video :) It's always good to watch one of your videos.
everyone gets excited to get a working board, you get excited to get one that says previously in a fire. Great job as always
Hahaha! For sure my friend, so true lol. Getting them going again is much more rewarding. Thanks a million as always.
It's always enjoyable watching your repair videos 😎
Thank you sir, for preserving a peace of our childhoods with this board repair. Seeing GI Joe in the arcade outstanding!
Just trying to keep them from going to the scrap bin before they have to. Thanks again

Really didn’t think you’d get it working. Fantastic work!
Lol, thanks a lot man. To be honest it was looking kinda grim on my end too
This was fun and cool to stick with it until the end.
I find this very interesting and fun to watch. Thanks Luke.
Can't wait to see if this board gets fully repaired or not. Great job.
Thanks for watching. The board is currently 100% back in action. I'll try to make a game play vid soon
Always great to have you back doing what you do best Luke, no PCB too far gone to be saved :D

Excellent work. Do wish you would have shown the lifting and reseating of the flat packs. But great work!
Crazy repair. Well done sir.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it a lot

Haha, I wanted to make a video just like that. One where people could just sit back and watch with some snacks. Acheived! lol. Thanks as always my friend

Hi Luke
Hi there :)
@@lukemorse1 how's going
12:18 man, get you a lil solder sucker. 100 yen or so, but a big time time saver.
I actually use a solder sucker and explained in the video when I use it ;)
@@lukemorse1 apologies must have missed that bit.
camera tri pod !!!
It's been there for quite some time
Disclaimer: very graphic Jamma gore :(
Haha!
Explicit violent acts against arcade pcbs lol
wow! awesome
Don't send that piece of crap back into the wild without marking it in some kind of way that it's been repaired and doesn't have its original chips like getting their Repro or some s***
Nice. ;)
HARD OFF!!!!!
I got X-Men that is working for sometime. And like boots up fine but then after 8 mins the video starts loosening its back ground video images. Like intros look blocky and words look blocky. But the characters in the game look totally fine. And the game looks like it's playing fine. I can reboot the game and it's fine till 8 mins later again
