Did yours come with an upgraded screen or did you upgrade it yourself?
I've heard of an official one, but never seen it.
Cools upgraded it with this:
Maybe in shmupworld. I'm the exact opposite. I take my top fifty, add another fifty, and then buy whatever comes up at (what I think is) a good price. I've got most that I want this way and I'm buying during the supposedly crazy era.bloodhokuto wrote: ↑January 8th, 2023, 8:12 pmYou want your favourite arcade games on PCB? List your top 5, then cross out all but the top 2 or 3 and spend however many hundreds (or thousands) and that's your lot.
True in any hobby. Everything is suffering of the same issues, high demand, low supply, which increased dramatically over the pandemic. And some people see opportunities to make money.
I agree but this isn't exactly news. Bringing arcade hardware into your home has always been an obsessive niche. If it wasn't for these forums I'd never have met anyone else that's into it. It's also generational. You don't have to be much younger than me for arcade-authentic to be meaningless.LarsVegas wrote: ↑January 10th, 2023, 11:10 pm Is owning a PCB for yourself and compete against the CPU in a fighting games authentic? Challenge others is authentic and that's only in an arcade or online. For shmups, definitely the PCB is the way to go, but 80% of the hardcore scoring guys don't use a PCB either. They take the mame or console route. Even for practice the emulation or console stuff is way better. Owning this stuff is complete luxury and has nothing to do with the real hardcore gaming experience only if you play in an arcade and put your score on the board there.
Or you could just invite people over to play games. Isn't that one of the reasons to own cabs?
