I've remade the Wonder Boy JAMMA conversion loom as the one I had with the game was a very poor quality loom which was causing more problems with the game.
Also made a second joystick for the Supergun using a beat up and rusty Hori Virtual Fighter 4 PlayStation 2 joystick, this thing must have been stored in a lake or something, not the best I've made as the joystick and buttons are not arcade spec but it's better than nothing.
16th October 2011
Moved the current project page around a bit, finally sorted out what buttons and joystick directions are on my JAMMA loom.
Modified the original Super Gun to have Coin Switch 1 (or 2), Test and Player 2 Start on the joystick rather than the Super Gun as I had three connectors spare on the Joystick loom.
I may start work on the second Super Gun that never powered up to see if I can find out what the problem is.
1st October 2011
Added some bits of information and colours to the Current Project - GameStone's Arcade section.
Modified the site style to make the text more readable, increased the site width slightly, modified all the pages to HTML5 and CSS 3, also added some new links.

Changed this section logo to included some arcade machines (Konami's Windy (1 Player) and Windy II (2 Player) with horizontal monitors drawn by GameStone), if you're interested, I've drawn all the views on my art page of Gradius Home World.
Added my mint condition XEXEX to the collection page.
Also updated the Links section with some new links.
2nd January 2011
Changed the name of the Arcade Machines section to Arcade Information, also split the section into three pages as it was getting a little too big for one page..
