which has the better port?

[Medic_wheat]

Did any of you also have the Tiger Electronics LCD Handheld of Osman?  Oh, the memories!

Lol okay now I KNOW that has to be a joke lol

But the vetrex port is clearly the best lol

CPC? Pfft, the Game.com version was where it was at. Osman is tied with Fighters Megamix as the top game on the system.

Personally, I felt the email client was the most entertaining game on game.com.

x68000 port >>>> *insert game title here*

CPS Changer port >>>> *insert X68000 port here*

The Changer doesn't count.  It's just the arcade board modified with a more home user friendly test mode and a crappy S-Video only commercial supergun.

Similar to the AES.

actually not. the AES is a real hardware and plays rom carts. both MVS and AES are basically the same tho.

the CPS changer is just an adaptor to play (slightly modified) CPS-boards on a general TV-set instead in an arcade cab.

CPS Changer roms are custom and unique versions for home use. AES and MVS are the same rom, even though there are home/arcade options (which really just function as dip switches). Neither has any original titles, but the CPS Changer has an original home port of Street Fighter Zero, which was made on different hardware. The AES doesn't have anything original at all, ports or otherwise.

It doesn't matter what kind of hardware was or wasn't inside either console's carts (look at Nintendo carts). Either way, they each have consistent hardware and a console as a delivery method. It's not like MVS arcade games aren't real arcades because the carts are separate from the hardware. The CPS Changer console was cheaper than AES and the average CPS Changer game retailed for as much as the cheapest AES games.

You got me!  If you look through my posts here, I started a similar thread a while back regarding arcade ports, wondering which had extra features and all that.  You might wanna check that out, too.

Ahhh


Still can't find diddly on either potential home ports to play this game.  Or even Jamma boards.  Sigh.  Guess emulation it is

There is no good port of Cannon Dancer/Osman.  The pcb is the only way to play it, and it's very rare and very popular.  The original Japanese version (Cannon Dancer) will run you $800 or so these days.

That is very cheap for Osman. Seems to have a few repairs done (mask roms changed to eproms) as well.

Also seller is from South Korea....and I never trust anything from there or china due to the number bootleg items these two countries seem to be king pins in making.

And if you look at a majority of his listings for arcade stuff he uses that same misspelled "full out of cap" instead of pull.  Many of the listing are stated to be bootlegged while other simply look bootlegged...

[Medic_wheat]

Just got a very honest answer from the seller.  I like that.  I'd buy off him now.

"Thank you for contacting.
This is not original.
We just full out from working arcade cabinet and cleaning.
We think this was repaired or rebuilt by someone.
Original PCB is so expensive.

Thank you.

The only question at lest for those who collect and play arcade boards is there even any point in buying a bootleg board as it is not real hardware?  I mean it almost makes playing emulated arcade games no different when you go out and buy a boot leged arcade board no?
