Set your Limited board to the hardest difficulty setting if you want the see what the default is for the Special (english) board.

I can't imagine. I can barely get to level 3 as is. Though you have piqued my interest.

This goes along with buying a cabinet again last week. A Sega Astro City that included:

- SF Zero 2 Alpha
- Super SFII The New Challengers
- Taito F3 mobo w/ Kaiser Knuckle
- Sega STV mobo w/ Baku Baku Animal, Mausuke No Ojama The World, Hangumi Tensei Columns, VF Remix, Dynamite Deka, VF Kids, Puyo Puyo Sun, Steep Slope Sliders, Funky Head Boxers, Virtual Mahjong, AJPW featuring Virtua, Tanto-R, Find Love

- Fighter's History
- Power Instinct 1
- Super High Impact
- Robocop
- Killer Instinct 1
- Killer Instinct 2
- Rockman: The Power Battles
- Jaleco Mega System 32 mobo w/ Idol Janshi Shu-Chi-Pie 2
- Kaneko Super Nova mobo w/ Jan Jan Paradise
- Neo Geo 64 w/ Samurai Shodown 64 and Buriki One
- Survival Arts

The cab and all those games were $500. I think the only game I'm going to keep is Rockman: The Power Battles. I'm currently trying to decide how to go about selling all the other boards, plus trying to get a grasp of what they're worth.
you must be the luckiest guy on planet earth, 500 for all that!

Yeah I was prepared to pay a lot more than that and when he said $500 I was like oh yeah! I'd have been happy for $500 for a cab in St. Louis much less with all of that. Now I've gotta go about selling all of those boards to make it worth my while b/c I don't play fighters and nobody locally I know wants them. The luckiest sob ever probably was the guy who bought Shou-sama's collection a few years ago. He was a local guy here in St. Louis who moved over to Japan but had damn near everything it seemed. He was active on a lot of the gaming boards and I think still is on some. His house was a gaming museum. I'm pretty sure some of you on here would know him. This was one our mutual friend's who sold me their cabinet.

I remember Shou

He used to post here on occasion.

Yeah, he's coming back supposedly to St. Louis here in a few weeks. His collection was just mindblowing. Some dude from Finland I think bought it. Funny story is he grew up not too far from me and actually lived like a block over from this sick Aladdin's Castle, but his parents wouldn't let him go there, lol. I guess that fueled his madness.

I hardly let you at 93k, No point having a bidding war though. All I have is an MMP poster in the house

I'll get the pcb sooner or later.

I've never seen this thread before. Some cool stuff being had by peoples

Last pcb buy for me was last month. I picked up:

Arcana Heart Full
Ibara (one of the seriously cheap ones)
Gnet & Super Puzzle bobble

The Arcana Heart has problems & is on its way back to Fujita though. If there is a test of a seller it's when something goes worng, all I can say is that Fujita have been outstanding thus far

No more buying before xmas, well unless there's another MMP

Scored a complete minty but gently used Taito G-Net mobo with factory box and instruction manual from undamned. Thanks undamned... ^_~

I do have two barebones Taito G-Net mobos but one got messed up by static electricity and hasn't been the same since then...

I am so stoked by seeing what Taito includes with such a factory boxed Taito G-Net setup...awesome arcade PCB stuff here, fellow shmuppers. ^_~

It seems that this particular boxed G-Net PCB set was purchased from the famous Try Video Game PCB Shop complete with reciept and sales slip...talk about some bonus paperworks to get excited over! It's nice to have for completeness... ^_~

Does Try PCB shop have a pretty good selection of arcade shmup titles to choose from and are their prices pretty reasonable?

Isn't this famed Try PCB shop located in Akihabara district of Tokyo?

I realize that this post is my 2,000th post here on Shmups.org -- what a milestone, hmmm? ^_~

Dangun Feveron for $150 but traded a bunch of bullshit Saturn/Sega CD stuff and got it for $75, and Silkworm for $40.

Yes, Try is located right in the middle of Akihabara, on the same block as Mak Japan.

You can check out their website here: www.try-inc.co.jp/

It's a good place to buy games from, it's where I got my Xexex board, by far the cheapest I could find in Tokyo. I don't think they actually ship abroad though.

I think Try used to be associated with the Try amusement tower, which was an amazing 5-story arcade in Akihabara that was kind of like a retro arcade museum, but unfortunately that has closed down now.

Hope to see your score entries over here soon.

Hopefully soon. We'll see though. I'm not quite up to par to be on there. Its supposed to snow a lot here starting oh right about now, so maybe this weekend and over Christmas I will enter the ranks. My parents were watching Dangun and crapping themselves. I should try to get them hooked on shmups.

Raiden Fighters JET- heroin pcb ver

JET > 2

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 5:55 am

Battle Garegga and Dimahoo for $230 after trading in some things I'd probably never ever play again (Dynamite Heady, Forgotten Worlds, Gunstar Heroes all loose on Genesis, Browning on PC Engine, Last Blade 2 and Capcom vs. SNK on Dreamcast, Vay on Sega CD, Mercs boxed w/o instructions on Genesis and a disc only Marvel vs. Capcom on DC)

Just won an auction for Toaplan's Vimana for a mere 37 Euros!

I guess it's safe to say this is Toaplan least well known shooter. I only played it once really shortly and don't really remember anything. I hope it's a good game?

Yeah, that's the place. They had a pretty cool selection. Very packed. I also picked up a PC Genjin (Bonk) PCB there.

As CIT noted, Mak isn't too far from there. I picked up a shiny new monster size Mr. Driller 2 POP there

What do you mean by "heroin" version?

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:37 pm

Recently spent way too much on PCBs and now must stop. I'm waiting for these in the mail:

Armed Police Batrider
Dimahoo
Strikers 1945 PLUS (kit)

The waiting sucks. Why does priority mail from Canada take more than twice the time as priority mail from Japan. Makes no sense.

I was wondering that to, I know there is the board with the crappier sound.

Neon · Post by **Neon** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 4:56 am

Can I get some advice for shipping? Regrettably I had to let go of Batrider. It wasn't the version I wanted anyway so it's not so bad I guess.

What is the difference between version A and version B? Anyone know? And then there's a Korean version B as well. Is that a further revision? I can't seem to find any discussion of this, though I noticed that in the score thread Icarus requires one to mention if one is using version A. Why?

Post by **Dave_K.** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 2:45 am

Per the toaplan2.c mame sourcecode comments:

batrider - original release was marketed as a two button game, but actually needed a third button to fully use some of the ships' weaponry! This error was rectified in the B Version (which is fully playable with either two or three buttons)

BTW: you can swap the single rom on this very easily to upgrade to B, or switch regions. Hobbyroms.com can burn an eprom for you for like $15 shipped world wide.

The Game Paradise and Strikers 1945 Plus. Also recently bought (but not pictured) Street Fighter Zero 2 Asian A&B board. Unfortunately, the Game Paradise PCB arrived a few days after I sold my vert cab and its replacement is staying horizontal. It will be a long time before I get to play it

Pink Sweets and Mushihimesama Futari. I'm not so keen on PS but I got an extremely good deal on it so I couldn't refuse. Futari is extremely fun though.
