BB3 Games Playing On BB1 Conversion To BB2
« on: February 22, 2016, 02:49:18 PM »
For those of you Interested:
Could it be done? That question bugged me for some time. I got a lot of "definitive maybes". Jim Masonis was pretty sure it could be done so I started buying the parts I needed some time ago.

With that being said many, many thanks and Kudos to Jeff (Idesign) for figuring it out.

Here's what I needed for parts Initially

Top Monitor that had a DVI Port.
BB2 Power supply
Emotive Light Box
Whatever special cables are needed.
And of course a BB3 CPU 3.2

Jeff was kind enough to take on this challenge. What he discovered was, that a BB2 Power supply was not needed however, another BB1 power supply was. It sounded like a BB2 power supply could be used but the Remote switch may have been a challenge.

Jeff was able to add the BB1 PS and make a cable so the BB1 PS and BB3 CPU connected with power. He made me a splitter cable for the Emotive Light Box since I did not have a Power Slot open. He tried all of this on his BB1 Conversion and it worked. He made up the Cables for me and YES it works. I have attached some pictures. First picture shows Gorilla Chief II. Second Picture shows Gremlins on regular dual 22s. Third photo shows Gremlins with 32" vertical monitor. Photo 4 shows Emotive Light box and cables.  Photo 5 shows Power Cable from BB1 PS to BB3 CPU 3.2

I am sure there is something I forgot but there it is for those of you Interested. Thanks again JEFF!!

Emotive Light Box is not needed for games like Gremlins that use a vertical monitor.
If it ain't broke don't mess with it.....

Great Topic, there is a way to by-pass Emotive lighting board.  By soldering a permanent jumper. This will fool the game into thinking there is an emotive controller installed saving on use amperage/voltage

Jeff, Can you post the pin out for the cable you made for the BB1 so others can make there own conversion in the future.

I had made mine using an old Gen1 printer plug and repinned it so I could provide power to the BB3 using the existing BB1 power supply. It is the same size Molex plus as Power supply and backplain. I will take some photo this week and post. The cable connects to the Bulkhead Board.

IF you already have a BB2 (not BB2e), do you need a different power supply/molex connection or will the one in there already work?

To run a cpunxt3.2 box on a bb2 you mean?  You will need the power harness for the mpu box.

You dont need a new power supply. you use your existing one.  you just tap off lines coming from power supply harness to make a extension that will plug into your molex plug on the side of the BB3 CPU.

You also need a jumper in plug

T,

What did you use for a top monitor?  Regular BB2 or store bought monitor? Looks perfect in there.

Thanks.

You are right Jeff the 32 inch is a NEC V322. The regular top monitor is a Ceronix  22 inch. Depends on what picture you are looking at. Obviously the 32 inch is hanging on a wall mount.

For some reason I was thinking 32" because Gremlins wants a 32" unless Steve likes to twist his neck a lot.  :24: :24:

I have a 32 for the Vertical titles, but I was wondering if the regular monitor was WMS stuff or BestBuy.............lol

I have ordered a NEC 22 incher  (16X10) to replace the Dell model I bought as it is a bit short for the top box and looks a bit funny up there. However, the image is gorgeous!!

Thanks,

Steve

The only issue with the NEC is that is a TN panel, so it has a limited viewing angle.  But functionally, the games work great on it.

 There is a way to by-pass Emotive lighting board.  By soldering a permanent jumper. This will fool the game into thinking there is an emotive controller installed saving on use amperage/voltage

Can you give me the specific pin the jumper is connected to on J14 of the backplane ?
