I'll probably take some time this weekend to figure out all the details more, since I've officially given up on the AES route (I seriously held out hope for a long time, but the prices are nuts), but if you do wind up with an extra, definitely let me know! On a related note, check out eBay - people are seriously hawking AES consoles for upwards of $1000! o.O |

I think the only thing that made me inclined toward a consolized one was concerns about controllers, but to be fair, I was looking all this up far too late at night to think too clearly about it. --- End quote --- Almost all superguns are set up to accept Neo Geo joysticks/pads, or at worst Mega Drive controllers - you just plug them in and off you go! Some superguns don't (like this one), so that they can sell you overpriced controllers to go with their overpriced supergun, but a Vogatek or a MAK Strike are the ones you want to go for anyway. --- Quote ---The $600+ price tag is what I'm trying to avoid, and soldering (while I wish I had the skills) is probably not gonna happen, so the supergun + 1-slot MVS route seems ideal. I had no idea the MVS boards were that cheap o.O --- End quote --- You do get people going nuts over them every now and then, but by and large MVS boards really aren't expensive. --- Quote from: scott on November 22, 2013, 10:20:35 pm ---Personally, I still like the idea of consolizing an MVS board and setting it up with 2 plug in joysticks. I've read up on it a few times and with the soldering skills it's not going to be that tough. But to each their own. --- End quote --- If you're doing it yourself then that's a different matter because you aren't going to be charging yourself the insane prices these shops do and you'll enjoy a little electronic project too, but there's no way I'd ever tell someone to buy a consolised MVS. |

$200-400 is a price I could at least tolerate, though the added expense of a Phantom-1 would push the cost up too high to justify. The MVS route sounds great though, and I've wanted the real thing for such a long time that I figure it's time to start saving a little bit... provided I still have a job after the holidays :p Edit: I remember this post of yours now, kimimi. Very helpful and concise in terms of the layout, which I knew was simple, but it's still good to have the reassurance that it's pretty plug-and-play overall. |
