Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

At the end of the twitch stream they briefly showed cassette / cartridge that were quite long and look easy to plug in. My impression is that the h/w unit appears to be smaller and lighter than a Taito TX2, if so that that will help with shipping. Correct, it's much smaller than most PC based hardw...

Today we had quite a few announcements. I'll restream the recording here in a bit for those that missed out so you can see everything that was discussed and shown off. - The logo on the blue piece on the Vewlix cab is just a cutout. It had a Nesica card reader and we wanted to cover it. Taito had le...

Hey guys, we're really busy this weekend (and of course, the past year and a half leading up to this event). I will try to answer most of your questions. I was able to address most of them live in the stream chat today. Please subscribe to our social channels to be constantly updated on announcement...

Hi! Jim here. Been lurking for a while and finally decided to join. I'm living and working (as a game dev) in Japan at the moment (originally from the UK), but also run a website about Japanese arcades and gaming, called Japanese Arcade : http://japanesearcade.com/ . Don't actually own any arcade c...

Auckland, New Zealand

Namco Exceleena x 6
Namco Noir x2
Namco Noir Chinese Clone X 2

Not Candy Cabs but
Battle Gear 2 (Twin Cabinet)
Time Crisis 2 (Twin Cabinet)
6 player X-Men

Quite a collection however, that 6p X-Men is clearly the gem of the lot.

So down to get some.

Updating my inventory. Just got the following: 1x Dinoking Cab w/ Card Dispenser Man, what is your current cab inventory? You seem to build up fast :lol: . Lol, honestly wasn't trying to. It's one of those things that just happens. I wanted to put a stop to purchasing cabs for a while, but was mess...

Apparently, the game is very picky about 12V. Most JPN cabs don't output a lot of power on 12V, so if you're having issues getting it to boot up, there's your likely culprit. According to the Skycurser team, this issue has been fixed and current systems should work fine. Looking nice man! You get a...

Up until now I really like it, it's a lot of fun to play in my opinion.

Looking nice man! You get any play time with it yet? What are your thoughts?

Would be awesome if it was a GoaC and not another emulation trinket. Most likely is emulation though...

Very Very Nice info. Can you tell me what supplier offers the replacement monitor for $400 DOLLARS 1080P NATIVE. Would be greatly appreciated. Replacement Vewlix Clone monitor? Yes Open the back of the cab and you should either see another covering or the boards of the monitor. There should be a pa...

Getting a few here next week as well. Excited to see their new updates.

Yes, they do.

Maybe you could try to put an layer of fiberglas or carbon mesh with epoxy on both sides. Just a thin layer. Then sand it and paint it etc. This way it gets stronger overall. That is what I would try. This. I did something similar to the monitor covering of an Exceleena cab I came across once. It w...

I've been using Buyee for about 2 years, no complaints so far.

Not really my favourite, but "Tembo the Badass Elephant" on PS4 developed by Game Freak is a really good side scroller. It is just kind of difficult to find because the PSN store is a nightmare to navigate. Totally **** forgot this game existed. Remember seeing it and told myself I needed to pick i...

Speaker housing. It's been a while since I've taken a look at them, but I believe they're ported enclosures.

I definitely understand where you're all coming from. I think these days there are a lot of people looking for a smaller form factor type of cab since they don't have much free space in their house to work with. Of course, everyone would love to own a Cute, but they are expensive and somewhat hard t...

So much hate overseas for this cab lol.
