First world gamer problems number 367
Nothing worse than having to finish a fighter repeatedly with characters you dont like till you can play with the one you want.
Actually no, wait ..there is.
.
WHYYY!?!!
sadly I may have picked the worst combination of two characters to play with.
I dont know what was wrong with the old "finish with character X to get character y" method of 1 and 2.
Still though , Tekken 5's bonus tekken arcade 1-3 and an unlockable rom of starblade included is nice.0 -
Few bits arrived this morning.
First up is some new Seimitsu buttons and a tube of lube for my sticks. :eek: :pac:
I currently have Seimitsu sticks and Sanwa buttons but wanted to test out Seim buttons after having tried ondafly's. Decided to try screw-in rather than snap-in this time and probably won't bother changing the Start buttons as they're a fecker to get out.
Seimitsu Vs Sanwa:
This is my second Raiden PCB, was only €50 shipped from the States so couldn't pass up a chance to have a backup board.
Hard to tell from this angle but it has a little daughter board of sorts sitting on top bottom left, not sure what it's function is if anything:
Delighted with this chap too, Strikers 1945, got II the other week but want to give this a bash first.
Apologies for the reflections.
Actually need to get some more pcb feet and source some anti-static bubblewrap - bit expensive on ebay.0 -

Lovely pictures
Really interested in seing how you get on with the Seimitsu buttons after using Sanwa ones for so long. They really are a lot nicer for Shmup use.
You must have a crap load of buttons by now? You seem to have a bit of an addiction to swapping them in and out? :pac:
Boards look to be in lovely condition!
I want to get some anti static wrap too. A few boards I've bought came in anti static bags. Really would be great to have one for all of them. Let me know if you find a source!0 -

Not really noisy. I guess its more personal preference but for me, and for the games I play, Seimitsu ticks every box. I find the buttons more responsive and the build quality better.
I like Sanwa too but I find they rattle around a bit. Feels more like in tapping on Duplo bricks than a nice, responsive button that feels, well, like a button I guess.
As for sticks, well, you know where my loyalty is. Seimitsu LS-56. Nothing else comes close... Except the X-1 Pro HE or a Suzo 500 with custom shaft.
110% Seimitsu for me. 0 -

Feck it, I'll order in a batch of them and test them out.
Also, will LS-56 sticks fit in my panel without issue. I remember you had some issues with them, or was that another type.

Good man!
It depends what type of CP you have. Take a snap of the under side of your CP and I'll let you know.0 -

Today was a bit of a marathon haul. I received:
1. Bang & Olufsen MX4000 CRT w/ Beolink Remote & Stand.
Took a knock in transit from the UK, but it's only warped it a tiny bit. TV turns on fine. The remote control is an actual piece of pure art. Unbelievable. Nowhere to put this TV though!
2. Godzilla Save The World, Akira Psycho Ball, Activision Anthology [PS2, PAL, CIB] and Macross Plus: The Movie [DVD, R2]
Top games. I LOVE anything Gojira and Macross is an all time favourite of mine.
3. Panzer Dragoon Orta, Metal Slug 3 [XBOX, PAL, CIB] and Silpheed, Alien Homindid [PS2, PAL, CIB]
Someone else got Orta recently, felt I had to track it down! Need these PS2 shooters to add to my PS2 SHMUP/Run & Gun collection.
4. Senko No Ronde [XBOX 360, PAL, CIB], Shooting Love Trizeal [PS2, NTSC-J, CIB], Hokuto No Ken Pachislot [PS2, NTSC-J, BNIB, SG-OCD] and Taito Legends Power Up [PSP, PAL, CIB]
Apparently an AWESOME Pachi game, so had to get it. Even though I bought it thinking it was the beat em up! Trizeal speaks for itself. So does War Tech. Taito Legends is a must have. Kikikaikai is on it!
5. R-Type Tactics: Special Edition [PSP, PAL, CIB]
Unusual title, but chuffed it came complete with the art cards that detail the entire history of the R-Type series with art for each game. SHMUP smut indeed!

Oddly, I have been playing Ketsui in 480p via the SLG on my LCD! I'm actually salivating at the prospect of putting the B&O in Yoko/Tate and slapping a bit of DoDonpachi for the Saturn on there.
I'll give it a proper colour test tomorrow and also find somewhere to put it in the cave!
The haul was pretty grande, but it's actually not all of it. Some stuff should be here tomorrow though hopefully. One item I will be flabbergasted if it actually arrives, the other stuff is more shmuppy love.
There is one non-gaming item I am due to receive soon that's probably going to be my favourite item in my entire collection. More than my Astro, more than my Darius Laserdisc, more than my glitched 360, more than booking tickets to Japan, more than a Darius tote bag and yes, even more than beating ondafly at Ketsui.
...and it's not even gaming related*.
* no, I'm not going to be a dad before anyone starts guessing!0 -

Speaking of DoDonPachi, its coming to windows phone, dunno if anyone cares but thought it might be of some interest here.
Yep. Buying it tomorrow. Though going to periodically check Windows Marketplace throughout today in case it pops up early.
It's properly integrated in to XBOX Live too. Can't wait. It looks brilliant.
@Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale: A fine purchase! Ibara can be bought for a reasonable price when the right one comes along. Took ages to get my copy for a sensible price. You could always go the way of ondafly and buy the Ibara PCB? 0 -
