The citristrip if you’re lucky does a lot of the work removing paint. Once I removed all of the parts I applied a layer of citristrip for 15-20 min to pull the cheap paint off. More Q*Bert confirmed after I used a heat gun to removed the art. Complete control panel replacement w/joystick harness.Here’s what I ended up needing for the cabinet: Many folks are pulling qberts out of basements and barns to do this and there’s an awesome variety of online resources for reproduction hard and hardware. recreating the original hardware functions. This is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing – hence “field-programmable” i.e. This replacement pcb is actually amazing and is FPGA not emulation or raspberry pie. I’ll be replacing the original (known to be flakey) power supply with a step-down and wiring the cabinet for Jamma. They’re not easy to come by and usually in poor condition so I’m going to use the JROK Multigame JAMMA PCB as a replacement for the original cpu and sound board. ![]() There’s a modern stepdown power supply and the monitor reuses the original power supply’s isolation transformer.

The attract music pulsates with garbled space sounds interwoven + pink-floyd-esque electric guitar wailing. You can also play head to head in a game mode with confusing rules. It’s a board/strategy game (similar to go) juxtaposed with a mortal combat style campaign against creature shown in the below flyer. Over time it plays like it was designed by a 13 year old boy with minimal experience, complete creative control, and 2 liter of doctor pepper. It’s a 90s abstract puzzle game.doesn’t seem that bad at first. Everything is hard soldered and held together with ducktape. ![]()
