this was my first higher-end DVD player - maybe around 12 years ago. Gorgeous machine for CDs and DVDs. Later on replaced by the DVP-S999ES in my setup - the most stellar CD/DVD player Sony ever built.Sony DVP-S7700

Geometry is pretty good (it does have a slight curve to it though), paintjob on the monitor surround is very bad. Nice for playing DFK on, very good picture overall. I've converted it to JAMMA with a FrancoB loom.

I'll second this. I really prefer the much firmer PS-14-G buttons for shmupping.rapoon wrote:my experience w/ sanwa = a gentle breeze = button registered
Glad to hear you're giving candies another shot. Although I am somewhat dismissive of most of your complaints (seems like most of them could apply to owning a machine in general), I'm with you on the speaker issue. I'd be interested to know how the speakers sound on the Naomi Universal cabs. I ended up replacing the speakers in my Astro and Aero City cabs because I couldn't stand the sound of them.system11 wrote:You're not wrong, I thought I'd give a good one a try again.

1) Fully wired loom
2) It came into the house fairly easily with the cp and monitor removed, still huge though
3) Horizontal board bay (matters more than you think)
4) Speakers with bins and a decent amount of air behind them
Bad stuff:
1) Sanwa sticks (not their worst ones thankfully)
2) No -5v
3) Monitor rotation is not something youd do often, it takes ages.

The weird jumping/popping thing on the LS-32 bugs me too.emphatic wrote:The JLF is a much nicer product than the Seimitsu sticks. Especially the LS-32 has the very annoying wiggle-room when centered. The best non-modded joysticks for shmupping is the LS-56/LS-58's, but they can't compare to the build quality of a JLF, sadly. I'm curious to try the JLW, as they apparently have the shortest travel/engage of any Japanese joystick.
Well, having used it a bit now - the speakers aren't great, they're still nothing like as good as the cheap 10w ovals sound in my wood cabs. On the other hand they're not hideously tinny and over trebled, so it's a more tolerable form of crappy. There's a reason speakers are still made in wooden enclosures.jasoncslaughter wrote:Glad to hear you're giving candies another shot.

I also agree about the Seimitsu sticks; much better in my opinion. I do use the Sanwa buttons, which don't take much pressure to activate, but I'm not much of a button slapper, so that's fine by me.
4) Most power converted candy's you find in North America are not properly grounded to Earth Ground (the third prong in the outlet connector). Not sure about ones in Japan or in Europe though...system11 wrote: Bad stuff:

JLW's are a pretty good all-round stick IMO. If you wanted a general stick for a multitude of games, I think this is the best stick, construction and feel wise. Great for classics, brawlers, good for shmups, but just ok for fighters. My only beef with them is the throw is slightly heavier, so after a while you feel it in your muscles.emphatic wrote:The JLF is a much nicer product than the Seimitsu sticks.

Say it ain't so Skykid! Are you getting "Elixir-ized"?
Going to need an intervention once you start getting scantily clad, pubescent girl statues.
