Re: Help Buying My First Arcade Stick

I would be happy to help. Please send me your credit card information....


If price is not a factor, why not use the money to build a great stick instead of buying an OK stick?

I usually wait until things are in the update all script, but how are these doing? Most major issues solved or are they sill in the beginning stages?

Re: Would Killer Instinct 1 & 2 be possible on MiSTer?

I own two KI arcade PCBs but I'm unable to use them due to a lack of a suitable power supply, Hey, both these games run on a standard $20 power supply. I owned a 1 arcade machine and still own part 2. Let me know if you need help getting them working to play. They both play fine using a Super Gun on your TV as well. Well this is Dire at this point...

Also, of more important note, they allow CPS hacks to run, which means MiSTer will soon be able to run certain hacks, like maybe a Final Fight one…

This is a software problem. It can be solved with a ROM patch, which could go inside the MRA file. Maybe someone will write it... Indeed.

This is great, but won't solve this problem, as this exists on a real PCB.

Re: Taito Egret II Mini Rollerball/Spinner Controller

I agree. Would be great to get it included as a usable control, BUT only if it doesn't suck. These mini-consoles look cool, but often have worse controls than you would think. I think the SNES and NES ones are the only ones I liked (the controls). The Sega ones are usable, but not as good as the originals for example.
