Are you seriously posting the same topic on every arcade related forum? So far I’ve seen this same post on shmups and a-p, what other forums are you copying and pasting this to? What’s your angle here? Game promotion, CPS2 Multi promotion...post count fishing?
Just sharing it with people? I have been on all these forums posting for awhile. I just enjoy making the videos and sending them out in the world to chat about the games. Since it's not even a monetized channel it's really not bringing in anything other than the enjoyment of making and sharing them
Additionally I put a ton of tutorials up. Everything from wiring to converting boards and controllers, etc etc. I am a college professor / filmmaker for a living, so I enjoy sharing knowledge, repairing stuff, and making videos
But I am certainly not promoting anyone's products or trying to increase my post could. Hell I've been on here for over a decade. This is all hardware I've got in my collection. Some of it for a long time, and some of it I've fixed / coded to get working
Like my Beast Busters Second Nightmare series ; Turfmasta had a great one sheet pinout, and I wanted to convert my board and show everyone visually what it takes to make it work.
Or my M2 repair and coding videos. Showing people how I got a long lost beta working on original hardware with coding and creating a disc image file from a 20+ year old SDK. That's preservation + once it's fully done it can be released to the community.
And on Nov 8 I am releasing a beta 3DO game that's never been dumped, on my birthday, for free. Cost me $200 to buy it, and I am just going to share it.
Long story short ; I post this because I enjoy doing it, and sharing whatever knowledge / techniques / info I've learned along the way. So it's 110% benevolent. Plus I post my collection to IG daily. Just enjoy it I guess?
Edit : also I, for free, help people get their broken M2 arcade boards back up and running
