NG-Dev Team to release MVS Fast Striker v1.6 update...

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

If you bought a older MVS LE set of v1.5 Fast Striker without coin-op support from the get-go, NG-DevTeam will be releasing a version 1.6 update with coin-op support (via usb update). It's about damn time that it got that much needed option.

It's well known that the older MVS FS v1.0 cartridges (and later upgraded to v1.5) were shipped with "Free Play" option enabled all the time and no way to enable "coin-op support" period (if used in an arcade/game center setting/enviroment or if used in a private arcade with the desire to "coin it up" for that genuine arcade experience).

Of course, with the MVS FS 1.5 update, it added the cool fourth Omake option as a nifty bonus/added replay value.

I recall asking the NG-DevTeam sometime back via PM if it was possible to implement such a coin-op support option with the older MVS FS 1.5 carts shipped without it & was told that it would entail some extra support on the side that they really don't have the time & resources to pull off (with all their time on the upcoming projects at hand).

Glad to hear that it's finally being implemented/released in the next update...it's been a long time wish/desire that'll finally be fulfilled in 2013.

As the ol' saying goes: Good things come to those who wait.
