Don't see this everyday - NOS Naomi CF kit:

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.

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.

Those Surugaya prices... Christ, 680K yen for DSMBL? 298K for Pink Sweets? Are prices really that nuts now for CAVE?

I mean, I realize there is a retail markup, but still...

I'm pretty sure you can't. I think that thing is just a pass-through, I'd be surprised if it did much of anything else.

Most likely you need to add some resistors to the RGBS lines - try 220ohm and see what happens.

I would go with the JAMMAfier from invzim:

The first batch is sold out at the moment, but this is a fully plug and play solution for any JAMMA board on a New Net City.

Why not use JVSPAC? Or do I not understand the use case?

I still like the idea of the platform, but if they can't manage to get any notable titles ported to it... it's effectively dead in the water. I don't think that the current lineup can generate any significant income for operators. Funny because every title we have put on test in Japan has performed...
