BitKit2 is a JAMMA FPGA platform for accurately playing arcade classics, featuring Bluetooth for wireless updating. Compared to the original BitKit, the BitKit2 features a more powerful FPGA chip and 4x flash storage!
Software update: 5/17/2023, Midway's Bud Tapper, Root Beer Tapper, and Timber horizontal mount monitor games have been added.
Update features:
- Horizontal standard resolution interlaced 512 x 480
- Switch Menu to horizontal via Options -> Ssytem -> Mode Setting
- When in horizontal mode, the game menu will only display horizontal games
- Cocktail mode is not yet supported
- Gray/Brown color levels can be adjusted in-game settings between a few presets. If the Tapper bar floor is too dark on your monitor, adjust the Gray level. If the brown hues are too dark in Timber, adjust the Brown level (also works for the wooden bar and other browns in Tapper).
These MCR games are interlaced, which some monitors don't handle well. Usually, older analog types are fine, however, late-model digital monitor chassis may have some flicker. I've had good luck testing on a 19" Vision Pro (Kortek), but mileage may vary.
How to update:
- First download the updated BitKit2 app v5.2 from http://craftymech.com/downloads. You can also use the older BitKit2 Manager software (v4.6), but I recommend switching to the new BitKit2 app and using WiFi for faster uploads.
- Update the BitKit2 Bios to version 7.8, and install firmware version 28.
More info about the new BitKit2 app and WiFi support is found in the setup guide: http://craftymech.com/bkm/BitKit2_Setup.pdf
