cools: Sorry so off topic - but where did you get it? Does anyone actually stock this?

I'll buy another pcb soon so I can stay on topic.

Not cheap, but no wire hackery needed.

Where did you get it ? I've been looking for one for a while with no luck

Yes. And really hard. I can't believe I used to 1CC this when I was just a wee lad. I need to buy this some day and get crackin.

Wow! I'm impressed! I can't even figure out the first boss's attack yet, it's so erratic.

Just wait 'til you reach the flying voodoo priest. One touch from him and it's instant death.

What, do you actually have to be a zen master to finish this game?!

No, just lots of practice I guess. The bonus/training stages are really cool as well. And the hidden treasure room. Also there's a way of jumping back half a stage and do it over and over, but I don't really remember how at the moment. I guess you like Black Tiger as well? That's more fun imo. Tiger Road is a cool game, but until you learn how to time your attacks/jumping it can be a tiresome.

As soon as this guy I'm talking to responds I just got a Raiden Fighters Jet board with marquee for $100...man I love how bad the economy is right now if for nothing more then amusement dealers dumping their stock for cheap.

Nice stuff. Don't forget to pet the ibara kit once in a while from me

Everytime I see those nice chairs I get an itch to sell something just to get a pair. My Ikea chairs don't quite match my cabs.

Them Cave PCB kits like to stroked and petted from time to time...they are known to be quite affectionate towards their owners. Wanna spend a little one-on-one quality time with one? ^_~

The latest (and last

) Taito platformer for arcades. Spica Adventure

Looks similar to Mr Driller style art. Music is awsome. Wielding the umbrella to climb walls and ceilings looks a LOT like pixelcorp's ookibloks.

BTW: I uploaded a video of Spica Adventure opening sequence here.

That LED sign on top of the Namco Excellena cabinet, how is it programmable, Dave K.? Via PC setup?

I noticed I broke the 4,000th post barrier. Woohoo! ^_~

For PCEFX!, its a BetaBrite sign which can connect to a PC via serial port. There is a plugin for the Mala front end to mame which can control the LED with game titles as you switch between them. Otherwise I just use the huge ass remote to program the sign with whatever I want.

the second half of page 28 is pretty much all win in my opinion

mrtie · Post by **mrtie** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 1:32 am

Raiden fighters jet for $100...graphics are wonky( black and white/fuzzy) on my supergun for some reason I'll test it on the cab tomorrow.

Also the board is not what I expected in terms of looks I know seibu used some amd 386's on some boards, and that's what this has, but it lacks a interchangeable cart that I thought all the SPI boards have? Is it a bootleg? it plays perfectly fine other then the video issues which I think is my supergun not the board.

EDIT: just realised this is a RFJ2000 board with the dreaded mono sound...so how much worse is the 2k version vs the SPI version?
