Thanks! Not a problem ask away.

Results have been good – every fightstick I own works, powered or non.

Welcome to the club ! Albeit, not purpose build – decoding USB/PS3/XB360 to VB.

Awesome stick you’ve got there btw, good work!

Thanks guys, i’m glad you appreciate the result 🙂

Indeed an arcade stick with the guts can be relatively easily achieved. One would just wire a common ground and the according signals for the buttons to the VB controller PCB. Hell, the VB controller PCB would fit in pretty much any enclosure. You could even custom wire it to a Neutrik RJ45 adapter for a clean look.

Biggest obstacle would be figuring out where the powerpak stands in the build.

Don’t give up hope guys.

I am cross-involved with multiple scenes where unreleased titles cone up regularly. As of most recent, things like Ecco II for Dreamcast have been found; Kenju for Atomiswave has been dumped & should be subsequently receiving a cart release in the near future.

There is always somebody out there who may stumble upon the right connections.

its been loosely confirmed prior to now that a working Dragon Hopper exist in private hands.

im sure checking out the discussion tab on the game file page here on PVB will provide you more info

If you want to try some titles hands on, the newest Everdrive 64 firmware supports 64DD imgs perfectly.

Has anyone had luck saving Pokemon Red, or anything else for that matter? I couldn’t seem to get it to work in the way I assume it’s supposed to – saved in game, press R trigger, turn off/on, start back on saved game?

absolutely fantastic. id like to think i played a part in reviving this concept :p

fantastic!

i wish i lived closer – recently padhacked a VB controller to a USB decoder, enabling the use of a PS3 fightstick. Works flawlessly.

Damn. Was aspiring to take a crack at save support..

was the source ever made available for this?

I’d heard much about the title but never played Snatcher before now. WOW – what an amazing game and an even more amazing port! Can’t wait to play through it on VB

It wasn’t on uncle tusk at all. A select few were approached and given an opportunity. What criteria was involved I’m not sure, but I’m assuming you had to be the type of person who collects for the right reason (ie not for profit), knowing the right people would have helped too. I also donated to MK a while ago, but I don’t think that was really considered(although it did land me a spot in the credits =P)

Very few could be made, so unfortunately, not everyone who deserved one could get one.

i had donated as well.
can you confirm if Mr. Kevums is in the credits?

I’ve been a member of the ng.com forums for 13 years now. Collection of AES, MVS, Hyper Neo Geo, etc.

Metal Slug, Neo Turf Masters, and (if affordable) Iron Clad would be some good go-to titles, but pure awesomeness is limited for NGCD players as it was only really supported up to the original SNK bankruptcy, with numerous key titles (even before then) never making it to disc.

Nevertheless, go check out the news section in the forum some time for a post labeled something like “so ive been working on this for a while…”. May be right up your alley. 🙂

RunnerPack.

I didnt have any issues, but as a precaution, i had him soldered my displays up. The same procedure is used to fix a variety of display-related issues.

multicart = good sign for Hyper Fighting and the GB emulator

holler for a dollar.

I’ve read of the procedure but never figured it would be considered preventative…

Anyhow, i am in contact with RP at this moment. Thanks!

Any other suggestions?
