Some forum and local pickups
I burned the port to CD and I thought it was well done. There are some load times to deal with but nothing terrible.
The worst of it is playing with a Dreamcast controller. The game is hard enough as it is.
Who cares about load times? The frame rate is under 30fps compared to the original, which is a perfectly sharp 60. It's not only visually a disaster, but also affects the controls, which are sloppy because of that and the DC controller has nothing to do with it. Look, I hate to be a frame rate whore, but with Völgarr's demanding gameplay this technical issue is essential. Do you know how much work it means to render a game in 60 frames and how much faster a port is finished, if it isn't? Roughly six months to a year. A costly difference, and one that shows what to think of this port.
Looks good : )
Monitor works?
I notice that people love giving Ms.Pac/Pacman a go whenever they see them.
Trying out the Pandora's box with a CRT tonight. This Jamma->Scart adapter only outputs video but that should be fine. If the picture is nice I'll probably build another bartop cab with a 14" crt inside it. If not, well, at least I will capture the output using an ossc and compare it to the vga just for the heck of it.

I’m very interested to see what you think of this. I have been eyeballing it for a long time, but just never was able to pull the trigger. I always thought it would be a good use in the gameroom.
Yours is probably newer than the one I had, but my old Pandora 3 was not centered either, I had a solid one inch black bar on the left. On a cab this doesn't matter so much since you can make adjustments, but I'm not about to adjust my Trinitron.
I have this problem with various PCB’s on my Supergun. The PVM monitor I have is an older model with no OSD, so you have to open the case to make adjustments which is a major pain in the ass.
I picked up one of these from AliExpress for adjusting the image and it works great:
US $28 | New Arrival Adjustment of picture position Converter Adjustable converting board connect to any JAMMA for adjust Image Position

How come can't I find a single damn video of that thing?
That is just position not size too, right?
