Title: John's Arcade Tech Links
Post by: Mr_Rampage on November 30, 2013, 02:03:26 am

This is actually a really good idea. It should be stickied and referred to.

I think a little more detail, because as I recall the Commando turned out to be a power supply issue so that would be a big help for dead games.

It was late last night and I didn't have time to go over everything in the videos so I looked at the titles XD
