I use a Hudson Super-X with JP PC stuff and it's probably going to match the internals of the Hudson-made Famicom controllers rather than the Nintendo ones. They're easy to find though, just look for "Joycard", the red one with the bee on it e: also it's loving crazy that that master system pad is now expensive, a couple years ago they were $5 all day long. Glad I got one, the regular MS pads are pure trash

I have the NES version on that Hori pad, it's nice. I had no idea they made a SMS version, but given how blah the regular controller is, it makes sense that it's pricey

I haven't tried a 6 button on the MSX, since it has a slightly different matrix and breaks poo poo on the SMS and Genesis already.

Holy poo poo, I didn't know that SMS controllers shot up to $25+ each. I have a dozen or so of them, in all 3 configurations (side cord, top cord with and without threaded joystick port on the dpad). I should probably offload them and buy a new PC with the proceeds

Yeah it's probably not a good idea to plug anything with those multiplexers into something expensive that you're not 100% sure you know how it's going to react, particularly a third party one. It may not work properly and worst case scenario it can actually break stuff, even 3 button official Genesis pads are known to damage C64s by overloading the chip that handles controller inputs.

Picked one of these up today at goodwill for a couple bucks: http://thefamicloneshelf.blogspot.com/2014/06/power-player-super-joy-3-super-joystick.html?m=1 It's so fabulously lovely, but I couldn't pass on the chance to own the FBI's most wanted famiclone that someone did real jail time for.

I got my multicade working that I had posted about a few weeks ago. It's a commercially licensed product that uses an operating system called JoshuaOS. It's the most efficient operating system I've seen for something like this. It boots to a frontend that looks like a hyperspin knock off. It's running on a mechanical IDE hard drive and boots faster than my solid state computer running windows. Each machine shipped with a gamepack cd of about 80ish games including Mortal Kombat and Dragon's Lair., but there's also a lot of outdated 70s space shooters. It has a trackball as well and functions with trackball and spinner games. I had thought about turning this into a mame machine because all of the wiring including keyboard encoder is already done for me, but I decided to keep it as a licensed multicade. I could potentially route this or sell it to a person that puts machines on routes or in an arcade. It's made by a company called Global VR. I had to email them, and they sent me a key I needed for unlocking the gamepack after I told them the Machine ID. Each machine ID has a unique key generated for it. The problem the machine had was the onboard graphics chip was overheating. I bought an identical mobo off ebay for $20+ shipping and swapped them out. Here's the full game list.... 720 Arkanoid 2 Arkanoid Tournament Arkanoid Arkanoid Returns Arlington Horse Racing Asteroids Asteroids Deluxe Blaster Bubbles Bubble Memories Bubble Bobble 2 Bubble Bobble Black Widow Battlezone Centipede Crystal Castles Camel Try Chak 'n Pop Champion Wrestler Cleopatra's Fortune Defender Defender II Don Doko Don Dragon's Lair Dragon's Lair II Elevator Action The Fairyland Story Gauntlet Gravitar Golden Tee Golf Golden Tee Golf II Hot Shots Tennis Joust Joust 2 Jungle Hunt Kram Landmaker Liquid Kids The Legend of Kage Liberator Lunar Lander Major Havoc Marble Madness Millipede Missile Command Mortal Kombat The New Zealand Story Paperboy Puzzle Bobble 2X Puzzle Bobble 3 Puzzle Bobble 4 Puzzle Bobble Plotting Plump Pop Puchicarat Rainbow Islands Rastan Rampart Roadblasters Robotron 2084 Root Beer Tapper Rampage Satan's Hollow Splat!

They're easy to find though, just look for "Joycard", the red one with the bee on it It's a grey Joycard Super X for MSX. I took it apart to check and the rubber pads look similar to replacements sold for Famicom controllers so I'm gonna give that a shot cause replacements are maybe $3. Interestingly, the Joycard has slots for start and pause in the shell, Hudson just glued a faceplate over them, so it's pretty much just the Famicom/NES version with different wiring.

Code Jockey posted:maaaaan that is a nice setup. [...] C64 poo poo thanks, also the picture cut off my C64 poo poo, everything in the picture including the monitor is all from flea market/thrift store digging in the late 90's. the C64 and A500 share the 1084 with the C64 going into chroma/luma and the A500 going into RGB. the fastload is sticking up like that because of a rad gadget called an aprospand, it's mostly useful to me for turning off the fastload for games that don't play nice with it  I actually have a SD2IEC coming for it, it's been sort of a project for me lately to get all my computers running some kind of flash solution. though unlike the A500 my C64 is NTSC which kinda limits things (and simply importing a PAL machine is not as easy because the C64 doesn't output RGB)

You know, as great as the roster in Marvel vs Capcom 2 is (and it's really great), I think I prefer the previous game more. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 feels like the directive was "Well, we're losing the license so throw loving everything into this game even if it doesn't really work." Marvel vs. Capcom just felt more together to me. But I will always enjoy taking a team of three Doctor Dooms and Goddamn Capcom put out too many amazing 2D fighters in the late 90's. I'm totally a button mashing scrub when it comes to fighting games and even I look at their output then and go, "How did they do that many fantastic games." The only real stinker I can think of from their 2D fighting games between 1995 and 2000 is Street Fighter: The Movie. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Feb 24, 2017 |

One of the best finds I had at a pawn shop was finding the PS2 copy of MvC2 for 6 bucks when it was still selling for about 80 at Gamestop. I kept that for a few years until the XBLA/PSN release happened and sold it about 40 (since values dropped since).

I beat Mega Man 5 tonight. I've heard this one touted as one of the easier ones but I've always had a hard time with it. Well, not that it was particularly hard as it only took two sessions and one continue, but nevertheless, it was tougher than any I can remember except for the first one, which really feels like a different beast from the rest of the series on the NES. 2, 3 and 4 I've owned for years and have played the hell out of and it's hard for me to guage now just how tough these are because I can storm right through them, but I bought and beat 6 last year and don't remember it giving me anywhere near as much difficulty as 5 just did. Also played some Lufia: Fortress of Doom tonight and holy poo poo that game is grindy as a whole bag of gently caress.
