IIRC, these old versions of PIU actually run under DOS (!). Replacing the CD-ROM with a hard drive (or a lookalike such as a CF card in an adapter running in TrueIDE mode) is not likely to work as CD-ROMs and HDDs look very different in DOS.
Actually, I accidentally booted from the Premiere 3 CD ...

Re: MK3 Boardset Troubleshooting
What seems to happen with these is that various parts overheat and end up getting permanently damaged before anybody notices. Video RAM seems to be a common culprit.
About the only troubleshooting measure I can give is the swap out all the electrolytic caps. They will be old and from the era of ...

MK3 Boardset Troubleshooting
Hey, all.
I've got a PiU SD cab with a MK3 boardset running Premiere 3. Unfortunately, it's proving to be problematic. So far it seems prone to overheating. Despite new fans on the boardset case and the cab, it'll occasionally get hot then crash with varying results (blank screen, frozen screen ...

Re: Arcade operators and meeting player expectations
UFO Catcher is one of the hottest new merchandisers! Mine is generally the top earner at one of my locations. Do you use the Sega plush in it too? Also, check out Super Scooper, a new Namco Japan merchandiser that uses small plush. Makes great money too.

Re: Arcade operators and meeting player expectations
Hey, all. Checking in, once again.
Quick update: Yep, the DDR went in some time ago at the cinema and has been generally well received. Generally stays within the top 5 in earnings at that location, following the cranes and merchandisers (folks really like the UFO Catcher and Stacker!). I'm not ...

I neglected to answer White Dragon's question re: PIU mix. We genuinely don't know as it's non-working, at the moment. Just as soon as we get it fired up, I'll be happy to let you know. No doubt I'll have questions about that machine and its devoted players as well as Guitar Freaks once it's further ...

Hey, all.
I appreciate the community taking the time to offer suggestions and feedback. I hadn't expected quite the response received (wow) but there's plenty of great information to glean from here. I say, keep it coming. Good/bad/otherwise, it's the only way we'll know how to make your experience ...

Hello,
I'm a Cincinnati-based operator gearing up to place a DDR in an Indiana location. I've reviewed the forums a bit to learn more about the issues players have with the machines, operators, etc. I've read the feedback, the stories and the complaints.
