What's new
Would a non-Niko game cause the multi gui to freeze though? I know for sure Daemon Bride is yours. I will re-download AH3. Those are the only 2 games on the multi atm.

No, thats a bug I had been working on fixing. Im pretty sure I have it fixed now and will be part of the new version.
 
Any chance the update will have the option to boot straight into a game or shorten the wait time?

Yep, it will have that option.

After you choose a game for instantboot, then on the next power cycle the multi will boot straight into the game as if it was a stand alone drive. I've also added the option to hold P1 Start on bootup to bypass the instantboot feature and boot back into the multi menu.

One other neat feature I've added is FastIO support.....Even for the older JVS games!

When I wrote the FastIO to JVS library, I decided to do some testing and measure the time between when the game sends a request to the JVS I/O board, and when the game reads in the response. Essentially trying to measuring the input lag.

With a Sega Rev. B JVS I/O board and using Samurai Spirits Sen v1.05 as a test case. I recorded times up to 16ms! And an average below 8ms.

When I tested with the FastIO to JVS library using the Taito JAMMA FastIO PCB and the same Samurai Spirits Sen v1.05. I couldnt record any time, none at all. The FastIO to JVS library was able to poll inputs from the FastIO PCB, craft a JVS response and hand it off to the game all within the exact same millisecond!

I was absolutely floored. I was able to bring a JVS only game up to the FastIO speed!

Obviously things can vary between games but I think in most if not all cases there will be a significant speed advantage when using a FastIO for JVS games.
 
So now someone sell me a Fast I/O input card for my TTX2 :D
My cab is ready for it...
 
Looks like I need to upgrade to FastIO. I currently have a Vewlix F with a x2. What pieces do I need to upgrade to FastIO?

I've been looking for a while with no luck. Here's hoping someone falls into a ton of these one of these days and sells them around.

You need an X2 that has the FastIO input card. And you need to replace the JVS IO in the control panel with a Fast IO JVS. The latter is easier to find than the former.
 
@Niko - I play a lot of steam fighting games.. is there a way to play PC steam games with a Fast I/O input card inside the PC and a fast I/O card in the control panel? Does it make any difference from an input lag kind of things? Not that I am a professional fighting player and need absolutely zero input lag but it would be nice to have:)

It would really depend on the game, but I dont think it would make much of a difference. Especially if you where using a quality fightstick or USB encoder.


@muell67

Your X2 would need the FastIO controller card ( looks like a NIC, with 2x RJ45 ports. ) and a FastIO PCB.

You will probably start to see them pop up more often once Taito retires Nesica, especially if NxL2 doesnt pick up.
 
It should when playing decytpted games. and if it dosent it is purely a driver issue
 
This cant be that complicated of a piece of hardware. I wish there was more demand for them so we could get a alternative made up.
