This is what disk mould looks like. If you see this on your old disks then clean them BEFORE putting them into a disk drive. Otherwise, you are likely to clog up the drive read/write head and/or possibly damage the disk. Clean with diluted Isopropyl alcohol ( IPA ) on a soft, lint-free cloth.

My JFJ Easy Pro has been out of commission for many years due to the hinges being held together by super glue (some previous owner, some me keeping it limping along). This is an entry level professional device. Replacement parts have been unobtainable until recently because no shipping to the UK.

Modern gaming seems to go out of its way to prevent you playing *anything*. Privacy notices, surveys, updates for game, updates for console, reboots because none of those will let the other finish without fucking up.

I radically improved arcadeRTFM.com this week. It's now a fully indexed archive of arcade repair/operator manuals plus schematics. It has details for 7,800+ arcade machines and 2,400+ manuals. You can search by game, manufacturer, year or even chip! Share it wherever you think it might be useful.

Screenshot of the Arcade Manual Archive website arcadeRTFM.com (dark mode) showing detailed technical specifications for the classic Sega Out Run arcade machine (sitdown/upright Rev B, 1986). The page includes hardware specs (2x Motorola MC68000 @ 10 MHz, Zilog Z80 @ 4 MHz), raster horizontal display (320×224 at 60.05 Hz), audio chips (YM2151 OPM and Sega PCM), controls (1 player, steering paddle, pedal, 1 button, 2 coin slots), a full DIP switch settings table for coin credits, cabinet type, demo sounds, time adjustment and difficulty, plus links to downloadable service manuals and schematics. Site header reads 'ARCADE MANUAL ARCHIVE' with stats 7,821 machines and 2,405 service manuals; search term 'out run' is active.

So, in the last week, I've encountered 6 copies of PC Genjin 2 for PC Engine that all worked within the last year that are now all dead. It seems like this game specifically is failing in huge numbers. If you own a PC Genjin 2 Hucard, could you test for me? I'm trying to find still working copies!
