Does anyone have a dongle...

[Colinb913]

That I can have? I am looking to get one for free =X.. If anyone has an extra one laying around, and is willing to give it away, that'd be great!!

Hello Colin,
I got several dongles here, but I need to know for which machine you need one, because there are several different Pachinko models and so there is difference in a dongle as well.

The models I got are for a Sankyo machine.

What difference is there?

I remember seeing a "how to" on this site of how to make a Dongle. I can't seem to find it anywhere. If you like tinkering and are good at soldering...a quick trip to radio shack would get you started. The "How to" had a list of the 3-4 parts needed and what pins on the connector (DB25 or DB15...can't remember) to solder them too. if anyone else knows about this tutorial...Please chime in.

I don't know much about the other parts but the connector is DB25. There are 25 pins there.

thanks to Logicprobe:


330 ohm resistor, 1/4 watt, connected between pins 1 and 17/18.

47uf 50v electrolytic capacitor connected between pins 8/9 and 17/18.
Negative end is connected to pins 8/9.

1N4004 silicon diode connected between pins 25 and 8/9. Banded end
is connected to pin 25.

This is done to a 25 pin MALE DB-25 connector.

Here's some pics:

Looking into the end (outside), the upper left is pin 1. Count right to pin 13.
Second (bottom row) are pins 14 thru 25.

And, here's a shot of the back of the "dongle":

So each machine can be played with the same dongle right ? thanks
compirate I learned another lesson

[birdbrain]

yes they all hook up to the same computer/dispenser in the parlor and that is all the dongle simulates.

Hi Rubberratt,

If you truly have so many, i would like to put mysef on (probably) your long list... it would make a nice gift for christmas for me this year.
So if you have a dongle left for me, i would really appreciate it.

Just let me know how much ya want for it... offcourse including shipping... cause i do live in the netherlands.

Thanks for your post.

Hey Colinb - did yours ever get there ???

[rubberratt]

Hi again PachiPals,

I am going to be sending out another round of Christmas Dongles, but wanted to make sure that everyone who has requested one understands that these are the basic "Shooter Knob Enablers" that I am sending to you all.

They are NOT the AWSEOME Daverob Parlor Emulators.

Thanks and have a great day ^_^
