Re: Looking for co-op beat-em ups...

I love Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and The Punisher. They're both fairly pricey Capcom arcade boards but they're also available on MAME.

Re: Secret of Mana commercial 1993

I loved this game, even more than Chrono Trigger. I still have mine from back in the day.

Re: My Dreamcast VGA CRT Tate Setup

The black cable is the degaussing coil. You can't really see it in the picture but there are no additional supports behind the coil. The only things holding the CRT in place are the four screws at the corners of the tube.

Re: My Dreamcast VGA CRT Tate Setup

I opened up the case today and didn't see any additional tube supports so I think I should be ok running the TV sideways.

Re: My Dreamcast Controller Hack

Which PVM do you have? Most accept RGB and some VGA. If yours supports RGB, you can get a Dreamcast to RGB SCART cable, then a SCART to BNC adapter. It will really make your games pop. It's a PVM-2530; it has RGB but no VGA. I modded my DC for VGA output but haven't found any instructions on gettin...

Re: My Dreamcast Controller Hack

Rock on. I plan on hacking up some PS1 controllers for my Astro and routing them through adapters to different controllers - I have some PS1 to DC, PS1 to Saturn, and PS1 to USB adapters already which is why I was planning on doing it this way. Why are you using composite to BNC for the Dreamcast? ...

Re: My Dreamcast Controller Hack

I like it Mat. Simple, effective, and well labeled...That last part is the one most people forget to do. What cab do you have? Thanks. It's an early 80s Atari cab, probably Kangaroo originally. At some point it was JAMMA-tized and converted to Street Fighter II:WW which is still in there. The previ...

There's a place in Glenside called Classic Game Junkie. I don't remember what the GC selection was like specifically, but they had a pretty wide ranging selection of stuff.

Re: My Dreamcast Controller Hack

I like it! Even though the analog stick is not converted, this should work fine for any DPad controlled Dreamcast game. Anyone notice the additional step that was done compared to most "jumper the wires" mods to the controller PCB pad buttons? The lug strip allows an easy hookup to any cu...
