    Bullet Heaven HD is a very enjoyable and well produced SHMUP review series

    Anyone here seen this show? Bullet Heaven HD is a very well done, and very long shooter review series that doesn't only tell you if a game is good, but also really takes the time to go in depth with games and give you an idea of how the games feel and how they're meant to be played. The rating...

    In the Hunt PCB - Weird jumper wires

    So I just got my hands on an IREM In the Hunt PCB (:buttrock:) but there are some odd jumpers behind the jamma harness that connect power and ground to what looks like coin 2. Anyone know what that is about? I'd like to know if I should cut these off before plugging this into my Blast. Don't...

    Home Circuit Board Printer on Kickstarter - for Arcade Stuff?

    So I've been watching this Kickstarter for a while and I figured I would highlight it before it wraps up just in case someone wanted to grab it at the discounted rate. Utilizing anything like this is well beyond my technical knowhow, but it seems like something some of the members around here...

    Looking to grab a clean new 2 player, 12 panel for my blast! Was planning on picking up a repro panel from Jasen and building it out but he's packed up shop for the next 6 months or so, so I'm SOL on that front. I'm flexible. Repro or original is fine, built out or just the panel with no...

    CPS3 Compatible CD Drives

    Question, Is there anything special about CPS3 CD drives? Or some sort of requirements CD drives have to have in order to work with a CPS3? I'm wondering if it's possible to use a smaller more modern CD drive with mine.

    Best non CRT televisions for classic gaming?

    So I've got this big 42" LCD tv that I've been using less and less. The display lag on it is so bad that I won't even play SFIV on it anymore, so you can imagine how awful it is for classic games. So let's say I want something in my entertainment system I can use for more than just blu-rays...

    Arcade "Restoration" Abominations

    So I'd been on the lookout for a cab in my area for a long time before I found my big red, and I've been on the lookout since, but the situation here is dire. DIRE. Save for a non-working Virtual On and an Afterburner Climax, the only cabs I've seen on craigslist in my area over the last 3-4...

    Weird easter eggs and hidden content in Neo Geo games.

    So a little over a year ago I was logging a whole heap of time into Real Bout Fatal Fury (such an excellent fighting game) and trying to learn some new characters when, while playing as Blue Mary on the first stage, I kicked someone out of the ring, KO'd them, and fell out of the ring into the...

    Quality new Candy Cab production in the states, Viable? Possible?

    So I've been thinking about the crappy particle board "Arcade Classics" cabinets that seem to be frustratingly common in my area, as well as the dearth of actual quality cabs, and it got me thinking.
