Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

Starpine is/was G-Front. I think Shou confirmed this in the past.

There's a billion Noir panels on YAJ at the moment, and @alberto1225 can make repros.

Talk to alberto1225 for the CP: https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=37094 LemonyVengeance can probably make you a harness. FWIW, I am 99% sure that the Madonna and the Aero share the same harness, so you can probably mix and match, but if you want something 100% new and LEMONY fresh.....

Cyberlead? Pretty sure they are 15/24khz, with the Cyberlead II being a tri-sync. Might be wrong, it's been a while. MrJBRPG - JVS cabs and/or I/O converters are not in any way rare outside of Japan.. certainly less common than what you'd see in a modern large Japanese Game Center, but this is hard...

Probably the first legit CF kit I've ever seen ever.

EOJ's tracking thread seems to indicate a kit sold recently at Surugaya for not much more than this...

It was a bare PCB, not a kit. Sold for 149k yen last month.

Fair point, but that bare PCB with broken 1P inputs on YAJ just sold for 17K yen more. Makes no sense!

Why on Earth is a loose Pink Sweets PCB where the 1P side inputs apparently don't work going for over 100K yen? :wtf: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l500251500 Oh, of course, proxy bidders. :awe: EOJ's tracking thread seems to indicate a kit sold recently at Surugaya for not much more ...

scramble is a known bootlegger on YAJ. Most Japanese collectors who are active on online marketplaces are aware of this, although it is totally possible that some unwitting person will get bamboozled.

Sure wish it was easy to import cabs, I'd get that Aero Table in a heartbeat.

DFK 1.0 kit: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p649065861 Last one on YAJ went for about 520,000 yen. Ended at 251,000 yen. Why did someone pay more than double for it last month ? :wtf: Weird stuff happens on YAJ. I'm sure it can be attributed to more foreigners being in the market at t...

****. Going to ask for a refund.

Not holding my breath, but there is supposedly a release party in Paris soon.

There has been a long-standing issue with consistent input latency during gameplay that has caused a number of complaints from the competitive scene.

DSMBL with copy art & no box 300K yen closing price

I love how everyone, including the Japanese, seem to think that YAJ is just a bunch of foreigners bidding against each other.

Why on Earth would you think that hooking up an external controller would somehow introduce input lag? The reason for this addition is two-fold: You have younger players who prefer to play on pads (or just pad players in general), and you also have other players who prefer to play on their own equip...

Makes sense. I figured those prices were mad, good to have confirmation. No plans to buy any of that.
