SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

I'm gonna hate you bald in my head starting now.

>Jealous
No, I am never jealous of other people's material possessions.

That looks neat

I hope you have a good time playing.

Your table is bending under the weight there

Running a Supergun?

Also get all that cardboard off your tate.

>>5455937
I just wanted to show the instructions..

YES I AM VERY JEALOUS but what are you doing with a saturn controller

>>5456037
Because my stick died and I did not bother replacing it as my EGRET II will be here soon.

>>5456084
Is that a portrait monitor or a TV?

I've always wondered how you orient the display like that. Do you simply turn your monitor/whatever it is on its side and go to the game options to set it to vertical?

>>5456037
You do realize how great a Saturn controller is, right?
That D-pad is like sex (or rather what I imagine sex to be).

>>5456099
Yes.

Is there a list somewhere of monitors that support portrait mode?

>>5456118
Are you playing with PCBs or the xbawks 360 ports?

If the latter what are you using VGA?

>>5456095
37" Panasonic on a 360 degree mount.

>>5456121
Dpad for shmup, non.

>>5456133
You mean every TV ever?

If its console port just go into options and select TATE...

>>5456140
Saturn D-pad is the only d-pad which you can play shmups good with plenty of 2nd loop DDR 1cc's with Saturn d-pad.

>>5456141
No, I mean like in >>5456118.
I'd not be willing to spend money on a tv, but a monitor I can also use for my pc seems like a good investment.

>>5456146
FIXED
>DDP

>>5456135
Not my setup but it's at someone's workplace on a dell monitor / USB stick so I'm assuming it might just be an emulator.

>>5456121
When you have a set up like that, I'd rather use a stick for a true arcade feel

>>5456159
You are not even talking with OP also
>Because my stick died and I did not bother replacing it as my EGRET II will be here soon.

>HE STILL USES CRT

>>5456159
Yeah, I can understand that. But he mentioned the Egret in the mail, so I assumed it was just a temp.

>>5456157
>USB stick
>Emulating CAVE CV3000 System board
What are you talking about dude its a 360 then..

>>5456175
>He still does not know all arcade cabs still use CRT for good reasons.

>>5456152
You know most HDTV's double up as monitor displays now right?

>>5456166
Yes I know don't worry bud I'm not trying to argue I'm just posting like, my opinion man

>>5456184
>implying it's not because versus city/blast city costs a fortune and they don't want to change because lol money

>>5456157
Emulating Mushihime Sama Futari??

Haha, you wish...

>>5456190
>implying not all stgs are made for 4:3 ratio exception Death Smiles II which you should not even be bothering with.

>>5456201
>implying they aren't making games 4:3 because most arcades still use shitty outdated cabinets

I didn't think /v/ cared for shmups.

>>5456251
/v/ has everyday about 200+ reply shmup threads.

Just have to dig deep and uncover the gold from the shit.

>>5456180
>>5456188
Maybe he's bringing around a supergun then
┐(´ー｀)┌

>>5456278
>supergun
Nah i think its a 360 it says CAVE CO LTD 2005,2010

2010 is the give away that its the Xbawks 360 black label port.

>>5456305
smh. I should stop assuming people can't play 360s at "work"

I found Hori EX2 stick pretty cheap and wonder if I should get it. It'll be my first stick. How is it?

>>5456339
If it's cheap enough maybe, I've never liked using it though.

>>5456339
I guess its ok but it does not use sanwa or Seimitsu
but as a starter stick its good.

>>5456339
I can't remember which company, but one of the generic shitty controllers actually pulled off a pretty decent first timer's stick. I remember it being SF4 themed.
And supposedly, that particular stick was really easy to replace parts.

...fuck, I'll post again, if I can remember which stick it was.

>>5456359
Er, that's the mad catz sf2 standard fight stick.

I actually had one and swapped all the parts out but sold it recently.

>>5456371
SF4*

>>5456371
Thanks for helping me out in the memory department. It was on the tip of my tongue (fingers?)...

How moddable Hori EX2 is? I've read that the MadCatz SF4 stick is very easy to upgrade.

>>5456339
It's okay if you mod it and put in a real Seimitsu stick. The parts it comes with aren't very high quality. You'd be better of with a Saturn pad if you don't want to mod or get a more expensive stick with quality parts.

>>5456530
Where can I order parts for modding? I live in backwater Europe BTW.

>>5456574
http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/

just simple google search..

>>5456574
And what backwater country might that be?

>>5456592
Poland. I know it isn't that bad here but shipping anything from overseas is a nightmare. We're screwed hard by conversion rates.

Me playing Mushihimesama.

>>5456622
I don't know about Poland but there's: http://www.arcadeshop.de.. Click on the flag on the left for English navigation. Prices are fair and shipping isn't too expensive even to Poland.
What you want (for shmups) is a Seimitsu stick, probably some LS-32 variant. Just check Google for some guides.

>>5456862
Thanks. The shop looks good.
What about Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT?
And how do sticks for shmups differ from sticks for fighters?

How can I do a custom graphic for my stick?

>>5456892
Sanwa sticks feel more "loose" whereas Seimitsu is more "tight". Loose is good for fighters where you do circles all day but for shmups you often need fast/precise movement so a tight stick is better.

>>5457033
What if I play both?

>>5457084
Buy two sticks, enjoy your fightan and shmups.

>>5457185
I don't have that much money. Even one is stretching it.

That's awesome. Where do you buy these arcade boards?

>>5457084
Then it's a bit more difficult. There are people who play shmups with Sanwa and people who prefer Seimitsu for fighters. My personal recommendation is Seimitsu but then again I don't play fighters much (though I do play other games with my stick as well).
If you want to get a Seimitsu you might also want to buy a round restrictor/main guide for fighters but it's not a must.

But really, you should just google around a bit for modding howtos and different stick manufacturers and especially the casing to find out what's right for you. Also a nice read: http://slagcoin.com/joystick.html

Sup op

Egret III reporting in

Feel sorry for you poorfags using LCDs

>>5459874
You have no fucking ankle.

>>5459885

I am a female

not really

>>5456270

They're shit threads fyi and that W.T. shmups tripfag is annoying as all hell/dosn't know shit.

Also this is from the shmups forum stick thread, it's a modded Madcatz TE and it's incredible. I'm jealous of people who can mod equipment and make it look great, all my work has no effort in presentation.

>>5459917

Also there's LEDs under the buttons, everything is better with LEDs.

>>5459874 here

>>5459917

Really? That thing has a Suzo and some weird ass buttons. I'd much rather a JLF or an LS-32 and OBSF any day.

Need some repro art made for my ESP Ra.De. PCB, and an LS-32 - and button plugs. heh

>>5459885
>>5456084

Goddamn, sometimes I want to build a gaming cabinet and play games like these.

>>5459936

Download Final Burn Alpha / MAME and grab ESP Ra.De., DonPachi, DoDonPachi, Armed Police Batrider, Guwange, Battle Garegga and Batsugun for now.

>>5459951

I'll put that on my to-do list. But right now, I wanna make something decent.

>>5459927

I'm jealous of the presentation not the parts, as I said I have no ability in that regard.

>>5459983
All they've done is got a Femme Fatal stick and bought pre cut plexi and art from Arthong over on SRK.

Not as classy, but here's my 360 stick.

>>5460004

I'd say that's very classy.

>>5460017

LS-56 + OBSF, modular USB cable

Also got a Virtua Stick High Grade - unmodded of course.

>>5460036

Different anon here. Where can I get me one of these fighting sticks?

>>5460061

Different places have them. Buying a used one is going to be cheapest. Few sites I frequent that have them on:

http://neoempire.com/forum/index.php
http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/
http://shmups.system11.org/
http://shoryuken.com/forum.php

Just lurk all the time and something will pop up cheap.

>>5460086

thanks for the info.
