Naomi 2 has two GPUs over the N1's single one, and they're vulnerable to pulling away from the motherboard over time or due to force in transit and being un-repairable - aside from the irepairsega.com guy perhaps - because of construction issues regarding (iirc) the solder used at the time. Take...

They won't, the Ghost Squad cards are the hard plastic type that aren't printed on directly, unlike the ID1-3 cards.

Powerstone 2 is another, lots of extra weapons and an extra fighter can be unlocked. I don't believe there's a pre-patched version of that though.

@g60hot is legit and knows what he's doing, there are many people in the UK scene who have bought cabs from him. He's just not easy to get ahold of sometimes, but he won't screw people over.

Poogie has broken maybe 3 times since that branch of Arcade Club opened because of people fucking around with the machine. It's got stickers on it telling people not to grab the ears and use the bum instead, but still they keep it near the front door and reception desk where staff can watch it.

Your video's broken btw, says "video unavailable" for me even on Youtube's site itself.

Funny you mention the PS2 version, it was briefly looked at by @strygo recently as part of their digging into the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, and they reckon the PS2 Darkstalkers collection is built on the same engine, so I wonder if any of the same findings could be applied to VS: Street...

I don't know if that would be possible, as the reported reason for both Savior 2 and Hunter 2 existing in the first place is because they couldn't fit all characters into the graphics ROM. No such restriction on CD space, hence the PS1 Darkstalkers 3. I wonder if it would be possible with 2020...

That's great work, congrats! Can you tell us more about the 4P multitap? How are you handling four player's worth of inputs on the NG's 2 ports, what was the process like to figure it out? That's a whole level above just making the game!

Oh yeah, hookers literally 4 feet away on the other side of the street and all around the outside of the church, definitely something to see ;) Blast Galaxy was the other arcade I couldn't think of! Our holiday dates didn't align with its opening times but it looks ace :D

Welcome! I love Amsterdam, it's got some cool arcades (TonTon Club Centrum is cool, wasn't able to check out the one on the north side of the river though!) and, well, good coffee shops of all kinds indeed :)

A friend in games publishing played a build of this at Capcom UK many, many years ago when it was still in development, probably not long before it was canned. It can't have been very good as it didn't leave much of an impression - he didn't have much to say about it other than it was "alright"...

Yeah, the fact it's M2 makes me lean towards it being (extremely good) emulation as well, with their internal emulator just having lots and lots of hooks to do all the gadgets around the sides. It's just the way they tend to do things, they want to emulate the hardware slowdown as accurately as...

They're not fake, people are certainly playing them and uploading new footage of the two games. The link I saw was on archive.org, so could be hard to track down who it was.

That's pretty incredible. The average person would have no idea it wasn't an original.

You don't need to do anything once you've turned it on in the test menu. If the game doesn't support reading data from a VMU, it won't do anything or provide you with any options. There are only a few games that do. I also believe that the VMU reading functionality was removed from any non-Asia...

As a general rule, no. Capcom occasionally programmed in the ability for their games to be controlled by the DC controller on a per-game basis, but it was literally only a couple of games they did this for. I believe Spawn: In The Demon's Hand is one of them, I can't remember the others, if...

The purpose of the adapter is to let Naomi games that can use the VMU (e.g. MvC2, Spawn, Powerstone 2) read the VMU through the connected pad. Naomi keyboards are also connected through the Maple bus and are wired identically, so you can plug in a home DC keyboard to play the arcade version of...

You can't. That's not what the adapter is for. If a game wasn't programmed to support the DC controller over the Maple bus (maybe 3 or 4 games total? Genuinely can't remember which do), it will never work. You'd have to wire up the d-pad and button inputs to the JVS I/O directly. You'll...

What are you trying to do? It doesn't let you play Naomi games with a Dreamcast controller, outside of a couple of games that have specific support for it. There are slightly more games that can read data from a VMU that is plugged into a controller.
