A good way to clean a slot is to get some thin fabric (like an old dress shirt) and fold it around an old credit card. Soak the fabric in the deoxit and then work the card in and out of the slot. This works better than using the cartridge because the fabric holds a lot more liquid and also has a scrubbing action. We used to do this in the electronics factory where I had my first ever job :)

This is my favourite YT channel, don't ever stop John!

"Let's make a beeline for this bun" and "This pickle is on me"... love it!

It's cool to see you playing your games for a switch. I recently went over to a casino in Nevada on my birthday and it's got a cool arcade, went in there expecting to see the same games as last time but they had a Ghostbusters Premium and man that game is cool. Cheers man looking forward to the next vid.

That vs is the reason I found your channel, and got into arcade collecting. The tutorial on eprom programming was the first of tours I watched

That VS. machine, I can't find anywhere. Love this video John!

"Soup to nuts" lol!!! Im gonna use that line john. Miss your videos brother. Honestly i dont know how you found time to make all these video's working a full time job and raising kids. Hats off to you sir. Thank you ❤️

Did you see last gamer's 720 arcade serial number 00005. That dudes arcade collection is insane

Your 1st Mr Do video is how I discovered your channel... I thought "this guy REALLY likes Mr Do!"

Kodak, where I used to work, we used to print photos 8x10 and turn them into jigsaws. We pealed the paper off the back so you can probably do the same with your marquee photos. I can't remember the knack to it, but you'll probably manage it.

It's been raining for almost 2 month straight up here in Quebec too, so I understand the feel to spend some time in the gameroom. Could have use a little bit more of Quantum gameplay but really cool video anyway, I love Mr Do!! Also looking forward to meet you in person at Brofest.

For Pole Position, if you watch the little light grey blocks on the wheels, when they "stop" moving up and down, shift.

Quantum sounds like a game I would have trouble playing as a kid. I really didn't get far on games with trackballs (Centipede, Tempest, etc.)

enthusiasm level 11! Really enjoying these videos, I wish we had these dedicated arcade cabinets like you guys, instead of generic cabs in NZ, I did manage to find a dedicated Super off road though!

Lol seems a little bit high on dope at the start of the videos. Having big fun for sure🤪

John's sanity was being tested by the Journey .. so he needed a week off :)

hay john I have just started watching our vids and have to say thanks. I just got a road blaster for free on cl and a golden tee for 60 bucks both need work but I hope I can fix them the road blaster so far has a failed switching power supply and the golden tee has a monitor part that smokes when its turned on so I will keep watching your stuff I have found a new hobby lol

Simply great stuff!!

john... finally..you show off your games awesome dude!!!!!!!

Going by what you said, try some deoxit on the connectors for the sound board on mad planets. ( that is if you can get inside it...) lol Thanks for sharing and hope to see more videos soon.

They're your games, I say enjoy them all you can

When i got my nes when it came out i only had a few games like 4-6 for a long time and wrecking crew was 1 of them and man did i play it a ton when i was young. Theres bonus rounds and thicker walls (brick etc) that take like 4 hits to break if childhood memory serves haha. I was always terrible at 720 haha i wanted to be good at it; always felt like an adult game id watch dudes that smoked play it haha Glad you made this episode, been wanting you take make playing vids a while, the restore vids are amazing but this is cool man. Do you still have Cloak and Dagger? I recently picked up a Pole Position 2, working on bringing it back to life ; )

Nice, I am going to have to play some Neo Mr. Do on my Neo SD : )

Great game love me some. Mr Do!!

Every time you showcase the red tent it just makes me want one. UGH. :)

On F-1 Race, I think I played a little bit of a ROM of it, it was fun! I believe it's also in the same series as Excitebike in the 'Programmable' series where you can design your own track and race on it!

I do remember f1 race on Gameboy. it was a 4 Player multi game with an extra Adapter...

Hey John really looking to go to Funspot on the 29th of June thanks to you discovering it for me!

Do I hear Dragon's Lair in the BG?! (Note: I have not finished the video, yet.) Because of you and my friend Cree, I've decided to set up an arcade in the basement of my future home (me and my boyfriend are getting married in October and we are going to move into a house in Syracuse.) My future husband is going to pitch in the arcade fund with his social security money, and I find it very hard to learn about owning one. Thanks a million for showing me the ropes!!

I truly enjoy your Channel. Thanks. Whatever happened to the MK2 ReStore in the garage? I believe it's been 5 months. Any opinions on the Happ vs. IL sticks that you were originally planning to compare?

Crystal Castles is watchdoggin. Check the power supply for good voltages and if they check out, re-seat all the program (CPU) roms.

hay Jon I just listened to the kill screens album science fiction movie and it's really not that bad and pretty decent. I am a hard rock metal punk and so on . but with my musical influences and history! I dig it! one metal horns \m/ for the kill screens... and yeah I can see myself grooving to the kill screens.

About Daaamn time man dont forget all us Arcade core Retro fans. I want to see you get more into the new Donkey Kong with at least 1 special Guest as 2nd player,as you "promised"us some time ago :)

I really want a Quantum. That game is one of my favorites.

Woohoo, I love these videos

Tell the truth John ! you've been playing too much PUBG to worry about fixing arcade games ! LOL Now that you've banged out this quick video, you can get back to the PC games :P Sad but true....

you know I'm a deoxit advocate. It's amazing.

Your basement cade is paradise.

Super great channel

Anyone know where to get the side panel graphics for the NeoGeo 4 slot machine? Got mine fully restored but need the side panel artwork!

They should bring some of these two screen two player Vs. games to the switch. The way that platform works, it would be sweet with a friend.

sorry jon me watching you play your really cool arcade games. and playing those arcade with me watching you playing those game. I really have no say in that matter. play all you want. I will sit back and injoyment with your collection.

crystal castle, He diagnosed the problem when he said it was damp and it's smelling of urine, There is a short going on. John might be right when he says the ROMs but it's because there's water probably underneath the ROM sockets. so clean the board with isopropanol see if the ROM sockets and chips are wet clean them, clean the ROM with isopropanol leave to dry. same thing with electrolytic capacitors for dampness underneath remove clean dry maybe replace. should sort out your problem if it doesn't then you've got a corrupt ROM because of it. check all the boards for dampness.

Chicken wing combo! bold grill combo!

all I can think is the song. all I can say is my life is pretty plain I like watching puddles gather rain. it's not sane. blind Mellon.

This is my favourite

OK All - I pulled the board out and identified the microprocessor Integrated circuit (90-6013 according to the CC Manual). And placed the red test lead to top right and black lead to bottom left and I'm getting a little over 3 volts. So that means I need to either rebuild or replace the brick power supply right?

great video as always as far as the crystal Castles I had the same exact problem with mine I checked the voltages and the voltages were low causing the board to keep resetting as this one is the sound you are hearing is the sound when you turn the game on but it keeps repeating because it's resetting check the voltages

John, I have a big question do you know where I can get a G07 - CBO monitor? (This also applies to everyone in the comments) It has Burn in. I don't want to turn it into an LCD monitor. What would you do? Thanks man.

John any succes on the hantarex polo have the same problem

Just for the fun of it... which LEVEL of arcade fan are you? - Level 1: MAME games in laptop/PC - Level 2: MAME games in custom cabinet - Level 3: MAME games in 1 original cabinet (ex: multicade) - Level 4: 1 original game in 1 original cabinet - Level 5: Many original games in their original cabinet (80s arcade) - Level 6: Many original games in their original cabinet including historic games like PONG, Computer Space (John's level) Level 7 (Museum Level) would be like Fun Spot which is ALL original games in their original cabinets .

I'm on vacation myself and doing the same thing.

that wasnt the bonus level in neo mr do, that was just one of the cutscenes between the different levels, the bonus level is a puzzle type level

yay!!

You should bathe the GO7 in a bath of Deoxit, it might work..... ;-)

Yay! 😃

The control pad for the NES was called the NES Max :)

time to clean the popcorn machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel ya

the de-ox is the best i fixed my pin like 10 times with this !! LoL

The reset of "EXTRA" on Neo MrDo is due to you continuing the game.

Tron is my favorite. Galaga is a close second.

Good to see you just having some fun again. Let off some PUBG steam.

You have concentration of 5 yr old :D Great video once again though.

hello how can i clone my arcade video game hard drive

and coming from the future your journey monitor will work. just takes some time and effort.

when you spell EXTRA, youre get an extra life. but John, this guy fall on you while you had a Power Up on your Ball??😂😂😂

I'm new here you have an arcade in your BASEMENT

It's too bad they stopped making classic games like this up to a certain point. Do you know of some console games that would be great in their own cabinet?

That Psychic on VGO was right John, you do have a ghost in your Basement! Check the reflection in the 720 monitor at around 27:25 ...

Do you have the mysterious POLYBIUS

That was the NES Max, wasn't it??

Hi John, I know you are zapped from Brofest 3 so when you get a chance can you check out the comments below from John Sweda and Arcade Freak 2016? They have been trying to help me, but I fear I'm a little bit unable to keep up with them and don't want to keep bothering them. I did everything you said and tested the voltage on the Microprocessor Integrated Circuit (90-6013 according to the specification manual) and I'm getting a little over 3volts. I also popped out the board and removed all the socketed integrated circuits, cleaned with alcohol, let it dry and then popped (carefully) all the circuits back in with the same result. No according to the CC Manual page 2-2 (Self Test). "If RAM fails, a sequence of seven beep sounds will be emitted from the game speakers and will be repeated." If you watch my video again, you can hear this sequence. And when you look at the related table 2-1 (in Manual), mine is emitting the code for a failed RAM at 6B (137198-001 according to specification). Could this be a false positive error if the board was not getting the correct voltage? Another question is how do I test that power supply when the board is not connected? Is there a way to do this with the old "Brick" Power Supplies? There doesn't seem to be any type of way to regulate the voltage like on the switching power supply (like in my Street Fighter II that I replaced). What should I do at this point???? Thanks again for any assistance. Kevykev

Now i wanna sniff some glue

Love the channel John but I miss the restore videos...

Pole position is perfection? You must be high

You forgot to reset the Pole Position before playing it, lol

Let's play Quantum I haven't played it in so long... *1 minute later..* Game over.. well that was fun.

✋🙏👏

Castlevania was my favorte konami game!!!!

The first 42 seconds is just rain. What.

What is the email address to send you questions?

Don’t explode man

31:42 SHOSH

Why are you filming puddles John lmao. Why is Luigi wearing pink?

Your game skills, are on par with your repair skills.

i just listened to the one eye thing and now there are 666 views on this video WTF

F1 Race was much better on the Gameboy IMO

20:35 TT TT Toady junior

I'd love a Sinistar, anyone know how many great British pounds I'd have to pay for a working one?

DK falls to #2 favorite and john doesn't play DK. So sad

Classic arcade game guys r like BOOM POW OHMIGOD THE ENERGY!!!! LOOKOUT!!!!!!! NEW GAMES GOTTA GET EM ALL. AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! Toy Story 4. AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH. GOTTA GET IT!!!!

your arcades are angry at you... you spend to much time at bar!

oh jesus as an english kid hearing that accent, i just cringed lol. (Were not all posh ok lol)

45:25 - AHAHAHAHAHHAAHA. Please do your English accent all the time. Lol!

You clearly do not love these games and collect these things as trophies and for creating a KZfaq channel. You played 720 as if you had trust issues with it.
