Fuckin' A! Especially the first level and the "warp" sound effect. Play in stereo if you can, it's a big step up from the JAMMA mono.
Oh definitely! I got one of these installed on the F3.
Made by our boy, jeffpin. Makes a world of a difference.

I'll throw the board in the cabinet this week and start practicing. This is one of the games on that hardware I wanted to get better at. There's a lot of Toaplan feels in this.

Solid game. A couple notes, Player 2 Type C is the strongest player in the game—your default power is the same as having one power up for everyone else I believe.

There's one 1-up on the final stage, all you have to do is defeat the mid-boss.

That I/O board is sweeeeeeet. Thankfully my Egret 2 is wired for stereo audio from the F3, but would be handy for use in other cabs.

The F3 really does sound so much better in stereo. I went the DIY route to save a couple bucks and crimped my own 4 pin line level adapter, because as far as I could tell my blast couldn't take amplified stereo audio, only amplified mono:

Anyway, looking forward to spending more time with it. Haven't sat down and tried to learn it

Whatever works man! You could actually use that unit with various PCBs if you make adapters on the JST side instead of dedicated.

Thanks for the plug opt2not :)

My previous forum name was jeffpin. I haven't posted here in a while, but have been lurking. I make a few different stereo add-ons if anyone wants to check them out. https://www.tindie.com/stores/everten

I might get in on this month's shmup!

I did about the same, the avatar is familiar but not the name. Guess you have to change names after doing gai p0rn...

Hi guys.

First time posting on the new forums and still a bit lost...
Seems like the scoreboard was deleted and we're missing a few score submissions, including mine.

I will right away try to update the scoreboard with the scores available on this thread but ask everybody to post again his best score if it isn't already on the first post.
