simple question, if anyone can explain what is required and how much it costs it would be cool, just curious, thanks.

I don´t get your question completely. Are you asking for an average retail price of the PCB, or are you asking what kind of hardware you need to play it? In case of the letter, this depends on where you live and what kind of setup you already have. For example, if you´re living in Europe and own a Neo Geo joystick as well as an RGB compatible TV, costs are siginificantly lower than if you live in the US, for example.

im in europe.
does that mean that i dont need to have a cabinet to play the pcb? is it what the supergun is?

im asking because when i mentionned mars matrix, people told me there's much expensive stuff i needed to buy in order to play it, such as a motherboard and other things i didnt really understand.

also, yes, how much does the PCB cost aproximately? i heard some old shooters can be found cheap.

for both regions (Tatsujin/Truxton) I've usually seen the board
sell for an average of below $ 100.00 US

so I'd say no higher than $ 85.00 for just the PCB in working condition.

so its not ALL that cheap then.
thanks.

i played it on mame and got garbage sound, and overall im guessing its a game thats more enjoyable on a cab, but seems ill stick with mame for now, or some other emu.

I think I paid $50 for my Truxton board several years ago, so you might be able to find one at a fairly good price if you're patient.

5,000 yen

I suppose there's nothing constant about auction prices..

The vagrant - Truxton is a wise buy, it doesn't seem to emulate well, my emulated version is very jerky.

I still don't know why they changed from the Prototype RED LASERS to the General PCB release BLUE LASER version. The red laser version was beautiful to look at & there were no problems with seeing the bullets. I imagine the red laser prototype pcb to be worth A LOT of money. I'm pretty sure Electrocoin (Casino Arcade) Boss John Sturges still has his red laser pcb sitting in his stock room. He never sells his old boards though. I will enquire nevertheless & at least 'try' to get him to re-install it in the arcade.

Anyway, back On Topic - just buy it!
