Very cool... thank you!!

~~Updated artwork file attached for chasehq, including some bezel touch-ups, and made the marquee/lamps look nicer.~~

EDIT: Weird... having issues with attachments here... added it to the normal artwork download page. (Thank you r0n1n).

Still question on the lamps... is it required to dump something that is on the PCB that attaches to the marquee lamps? Or is it just something that needs to be identified so that it can be hooked up in the driver?

I'm guessing it's line 263 in the driver that describes this? [ Toshiba TD62003 PNP 50V 0.5A Quad Darlington Switch (for driving CPU-controlled lamps via 2x NEC 2SB1150 PNP Darlington Transistors) ]

I can't find the video I originally took... but below are a couple examples:

First video shows it as I remember it... each side flashes a couple times, back and forth:

This video below is from a KLOV thread of someone repairing their cab:

He didn't have that PCB in the marquee that controls the lamps, and mentions that he had to make a "hack" pulling the patrol light signals directly from the main board (IC77) and drive two external solid state relays

If you notice... this is how the attached artwork behaves today... like it is missing the marquee PCB.

Side note... weird... I could have sworn I worked on artwork for SCI at some point... but can't find it.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
