I'd love a copy of Karous. Its not on my immediate "wants list" though - have to get those aforementioned DC shooters, Batsugun, Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets and an AES game for myself (either Fatal Fury 3, Fighters History Dynamite or King of Fighters '99) first. Should take a while before I get that lot!
Roll on September 14th!
Karous is brilliant (despite what Retr0gamer thinks!
). I think Andrew or Safetyboy has a copy of Akai Katrina And The Waves on XBOX 360, that's a BELTER of a shooter.
Oh hang on a minute, o1s1n, I'll raise you with my copy of Ketsui Extra.
Although I'll shortly be called and 'all-in'ed' by a certain someone that owns Ketsui Extra with that Godforsaken pamphlet!
edit: And I'll raise that Ketsui Extra with pamphlet with my copy of Refrain Prism Memories (SG-OCD) and my forthcoming SG-OCD copy of Crimzon Clover and vol's 1 and 2 of Shooting Gameside with a side pot of Darius Burst SG-OCD for tasting sessions! 0 -
I think tetris has to be the best value for money game of all time. I would literally play that forever.
My poison? Everything, that's the bloody problem!
Ha ha ha!! Don't I know all about it mate! There's always something else to get isn't there?Started collecting rare Megadrive games years ago..best bits would be a Sonic Crackers proto (moment of absolute madness) and a very early unreleased beta of Zero Tolerance that's really different to the final version and as far as I know the only one in existence (and undumped! :eek:)
Then have a load of rare PAL releases like Wily Wars, Duke Nukem, Ecco Jr etc.
Seriously impressive bud. I have only a handful of Mega Drive games and as my console is not working correctly its a situation unlikely to change. I will get a new one some day and I really really want, believe it or not, a 32X for it. I've always been interested in it for some reason - probably something to do with my interest in failed systems, and my love for Sega.Have bits of everything though. If you work your way through the post here every time you get something new thread you'll see my slow descent into madness.
I'll have a butchers mate and will post also.....For the last while it's mainly been arcade hardware. Have a shedload of Neo Geo MVS carts. Dipped my toes in CPS2, but after 4 or 5 games I literally have no bloody room left for them!
I found my way on here today as I was looking nito getting an arcade cabinet for myself. I really want a Naomi cab. Don't see me getting one for a while though! Just something I think about every now and then....0 -

I can fold with Panzer Dragoon Zwei but could call with DoDonpachi Daiepoieioufkudsgkjdshfjdfhslkfhkldshlkdgshljh and Espgaluda for PS2 if that's alright?
Combos?
/shoots back with Metal Slug 1,2,3,x,4 MVS carts (damn, if only I had 5 it would have been a Royal Flush)
Divorced within a year? :pac:
You had a good run
If you have the room for it there's no greater joy. Hell, there's even a weird joy in having a broken cab! I can still look at it and do a lovingly sigh.0 -

What about the Metal Slug 6 bootleg?
I'd love those MVS though, I love Metal Slug. If you're Metal Slug X was AES though I'd have had bowel issues.
Hah, yeah, that Metal Slug 6 bootleg seems to be on loads of those multi game carts for some reason. I've never played it!
Actually the real Metal Slug 6 is an Atomiswave game. Would go with my candy....0 -

What pamphlet is that? This ole black booklet jobbie below? Ah sure it's just a couple of screenshots with squiggly text beside them. :P :P Sure I'll swap ya for a mint rare MD Fifa '96 manual? :pac: Am, no. Your gameside shooter volumes are lovely looking though.

Ooh, here's one for €450. No pic though -
http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/sega-naomi-arcade-machine/795843
Cheers for the link mate. €450 is a lot of cash isn't it?! I was hoping to pick one up for about €300 but I suppose I'm being a little optimistic as €400 odd seems to be the going rate for a Naomi.
I'd love a vert Naomi with Ikaruga - I'd never be off the thing!
Are there any arcade in Dublin or Bray that have old school cabs in them that aren't the usual lightgun and car set-ups you see around? I remember there was an arcade on.... ah it was up at the top of Walbot Street (not the one down at the two retro game shops) that had a load of great cabs - I think it was turned into a very seedy looking gambling spot. Had a copy of Metal Slug running in there if I recall correctly.0 -

€450 is a lot of cash indeed, but it does seem to be in and around the going rate for Naomi cabs.
Luckily for you, Naomis seem to be at the lower end of the cost scale. When compared to the likes of candy cabs such as Egrets and Astros, it's only about half the price of one of them.
A Naomi with Ikaruga would be incredible. Thankfully due to the Dreamcast version you wouldn't have to spend a fortune on an arcade board. Just get the Dreamcast working in it.
Arcades like the above just don't exist around Dublin anymore unfortunately Even the ones out in Bray are just full of dedicated driving/shooting cabs. Long gone are the days when you'd see a joystick on an arcade machine. 0 -

Thats a pity. I suppose Dr Quirky's is probably the best place around still then. Used to play a lot of Soul Calibur II, Virtua Fighter 4 and Outrun 2 in there back in about 2004. Great fun!
Just of note on arcades in Dublin, the Stillorgan Leisureplex or whatever its called had a couple of Scud Race cabs in there a couple of years ago.....0 -
Kerbdog has picked up a Naomi cab for his currently underconstruction house, going in the kitchen apparently, lucky fecker!
While I'm dismissed to my attic!
I swear, I'm gonna build a gamesroom in the backgarden, pop a cab or two in there, by Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, I shall have it!
I'm picking up a cab, yet to be picked up sir.
Should also in about a weeks time have all released Naomi1 cart games working on the orignal hardware
Might splash out if all goes well on a Naomi2, will see how it goes! 0 -
Looks like I'm resigned to never play Neo Geo games. Last night I went to test my MAK Strike and the JAMMA connector is too wide for the MVS slot on the board!
The connector goes nearly all the way in for a snug fit but not quite. I powered it on anyway because after speaking to the guy at Arcade Forge (who said his system had the same fitting issue but his worked) I powered it on, saw a unibios screen (albeit garbled and flickering) and then heard a pop or snap sound that I think came from the MVS system board.
I powered the MAK Strike off and waited a few seconds (sure I could smell burning, could have been dust/heat combo though as the board is pretty dusty). I powered it on again and I don't see any Unibios screen at all. Just a mainly green screen flickering between garbled colours.
Power was definitely missing somewhere (all LED's were on on both the MVS system and the MAK Strike so power is reaching those).
However I had the following setup:
PSU > MAK STRIKE > MVS > SCART CABLE > SYNC STRIKE > VGA SCALER > VGA MONITOR
The Sync Strike has an LED on it which I since proved the device still works as I hooked up my Saturn to it last night and played Donpachi on it just fine. LED working and everything.
Reckon the MVS system is fried? Or the SCART cable is wrecked?
Either way it's seriously annoying the JAMMA connection doesn't fit snug. Fair play to the guy on Arcade Forge though who said I can send it straight back (for a refund?).
Gutted though, Neo Geo controller is due to arrive today and I was all set for some MVS tonight. Argh!
Can anyone offer any help on what may be the issue?0 -
-
can you take photos of the connectors ? as the MVS is jamma and should line up exactly with the jamma edge connector.
do you know if the MVS was working prior to connecting to the mak strike ?
I'd also try and without all the extras and just go scart to TV
Cheers. Pics coming in a sec (of the board/JAMMA connection). I haven't actually tried a straight SCART > TV. Will try that tonight. The JAMMA and MVS slot do line up just fine, they just don't fit snuggly.
No idea if the MVS was working before the MAK Strike as I had no supergun. 0 -

Aye I was going to trim the JAMMA connector down but I'd rather send it back and have a snug one pro-cut.
The actual connector slot and MVS connector do sit flush, it's just just the actual MVS slot size itself is too narrow (or the JAMMA connector plastic is too wide).
Any ideas if my MVS is fried though? Seriously hope it's not the case as it's unibios'ed and everything. 0 -

The problem was the width of the MAK not the MVS, my MVS is the same and I've no problem connecting superguns to it.
Yep, that's exactly my thinking, I was wondering how MVS slots could possibly differ in size!
However, the pop and whiffy smell (that could have been dust) is worrying. Jochen has offered to send me a new board though so I'd rather not touch the MAK Strike connector and leave it be. Don't want to affect my right to return the goods to him (unless he gives me permission to trim it down of course). 0 -

That blue part that needs to be shaved down is extremely cheap to buy. I'd be very suprised if he said no.
The thing about arcade hardware is a lot of the time it does need a bit of self modification. It's a long way from the modular 'everything fits' world of consoles! Part of the fun of it though 0
