The neGcon is specifically pictured and mentioned in the Tekken 2 manual.

I was watching some arcade longplays on the cubex55 YouTube channel, and there was this one guy who basically wore out the C button on NAM-1975, losing no lives and even getting the good ending to the game which is only attainable by not dying during the final boss battle at all.

I was wondering if anyone has a bit more experience watching this extensive series of longplays which span nearly every console if they use any tools/assists/cheats similar to speedruns in order to mantain a consistent 1-2 hour video of one entire game?

The boards in a Gameboy have the resistor and capacitor values printed next to them. Very useful if you had one completely blow up or rust away.

I think they do use tools where they can - their goal is to show the game in it's entirety, so they dont like time to be wasted on needless deaths and such.

Considering fixing the coin slot on my MK arcade cabinet and setting the game up to accept coins. Turn the thing into a sort of incentive driven piggy bank. :P

On BYOAC I saw someone who made a coin mech that would accept any size coin. Something like that would be ideal I think.

The coin mech on this thing is completely missing, so I couldn't put ANY coin into it. The lock on the coin door is broken off, and the one to where the coinbox goes is missing its key so I can't get it open. There's no coinbox right now anyway.

Still though, would be a fun idea.

It shouldnt be too hard to finagle a quarter one, sadly mine only except yen. Well that and the boards are toast so they got removed.
