Nice fan site. Includes a handy list of the latest versions of games.
It also lists the input lag of every game, which is pretty nice: https://exa.fan/exaversion/
How do we get our carts upgraded? I have A&B and want to upgrade to 1.2.0T, but exa isn't returning emails.
Which e-mail address are you using? support@exa.ac has to be used for update requests.

I would just re-ping them. I had to do that once and they got right back to me after the second message.

Snow Bros Special could make a welcome return for the series to arcades provided gameplay is up-to the original's standard.

On a similar theme Cave have the unreleased Yuki Buta Man lurking somewhere in the archives.

In terms of future exA firmware updates, I assume we won't be seeing network connectivity any time soon?
It would have been an enhancement to be able to receive game version updates, set high-scores and get news on the main page - but obviously not at the cost of lowering the system security which is proving a major issue for other platforms. The QR code system works well for hi-scores and perhaps could be standardised across future releases, equally regional update locations have been mentioned.

In any case I am gratefully to be able to purchase the system directly outside of Japan and have some great new titles to play.

That feel when your brand new exA unit doesn't boot up every time, and when it does, the launcher crashes.

Weirdly enough, seems to works fine if I'm fast enough to start the game.

PCs :problem:

EDIT: may or may not have been fixed with a Factory Reset.

Corrupt OS? I'm guessing that's going back for repair?

Corrupt OS makes sense. I was thinking of hardware fault, but that doesn't explain why in game it seems to run fine.

The first unit was such an overwhelming success you went ahead and bought a second one? :awe:

:oops:

The problem is that some of these games are 1p only. I can't have 1p and 2p games in one cabinet. People will come up to me and ask how you can get a second player in Aka to Blue and Gimmick. I'm like, you can't. Then they'll ask me why there is a second set of controls then. Well, because Vritra supports 2p.

****. Two units it is then.

The square instruction set goes above where the card reader is on a Vewlix control panel and is available in English or Japanese. The Vewlix marquee is in Japanese only.

Send a note to support with you system serial & language preference and they will be included with your next order.

Did this with the akai Katana Ltd edition, but I didn't receive anything. Are exa still doing this? I sent it as a note on the order instead of support, though. I thought it would go to the same people?

I didn't think to check there. I just took the game out and shelved the rest. The last time I took out the arts to have a look it took me a few hours to try and get it all back inside that tube.

:lol: Haven't checked for mine yet for the same reason. Whoever rolls the artwork for these kits deserves a raise.

I checked. Nothing inside my Cotton or AK kit.
No worries though, but hope to receive it on my next order.

They’re packed with the AK kit.
The square instruction piece is in the kit box outside of the poster tube.

Yep, all my Vewlix art and the extra menu/game select pieces were there in the kit box. Thanks for the extras!

No, the price increase is only for Japan.

Nice.
Speaking of which, are Tanoshimasu prohibiting Aka & Blue from sales to the Japanese public?
