Connecting Pachislos to a Computer

[Brian]

I have been reading alot on here about relay schematics on some of the brand machines. My question is, has anyone came up with an actual plug that you can put from the network card to a port on the computer and a possible program to go with it? I am very electronically impaired in this respect and do not want to chance messing up my machine if I hook up something wrong. I also have ethernet ports and would like to somehow physically hookup my 4 machines into my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

i think i saw something like this on a japanese website that the parlor uses.

[Brian]

If you would be able let me know what that site is or an idea where to find it that would be great.

If i come across it again ill let you know i think i just stumbled across it

The BIG question is WHY would you want to do this?

[Brian]

Well I have the extra ports to do it & also I just think it would be a neat little add on. There is nothing I am gonna really gain out of it but its a nice little project for me as well.

It might be nice to pump the audio into your computer from a Pachislo machine and blast it out in surround sound with all kinds of effects, the Pachislo's audio quality is excellent by the sounds of it (only got two machines yesterday still prodding them ) and that's just through a couple of basic small internal speakers or piezo's, these would sound stupendous with surround sound and a great hulking sub-woofer (I bet this has all been done already hasn't it :o )

we are all trying to make them quieter and here you are pumping up the volume.

most of us have family members or neighbors to consider.

if i lived on a 5 acre parcel i would leave the volume the way the pachi gods made it!!!!

Well, a company in Japan called Slotec has a serial/usb box that hooks up to Pachislo's that allows your computer to show everything the battle counters do.

Unfortunately it's mostly all Japanese and costs 12700yen (serial version)

For once, Google actually did a halfway decent job of translating.

This is really cool. Probably not very useful but, if a used one were to show up on Yahoo I'd probably buy it. Hey Arby, have you come across anything like this on Yahoo?
