Photos from MWC this weekend

I vote 6 button mode for arcade sticks using Neo Geo standards with the extra buttons added. Same pinout that Jammanationx uses. That would be handy. And that would be compatible with Neo still.

That neo-geo to pc-engine adapter was my handy work. Programming for the cpld was completed the night before. I pulled an all-nighter and spent the rest of the time until 5 minutes before my flight to Milwaukee wiring and debugging the adapter. Right now, the switches toggle between 2-button and 6-button modes and are independent for each player. I am currently fielding suggestions as to how it should operate if I put it onto production. I was thinking of changing it to run in 3-button/6-button  mode for switch 1 (both players) and switch 2 will toggle between run and select for button III in 3-button mode.

I agree, 6 button would be great just to have. Either way, I'm so glad this is a thing and I really look forward to seeing more progress on it. I got a chance to try it out and it worked great for the short amount of time that it was worked on!

The 6-button feature will be a feature of the adapter no matter which direction it takes. I put in the 6-button feature because I'm a fan of SF2CE and I think it's a technical marvel that it even runs that well. The main decision is to choose between having a 2-button or 3-button mode as the alternate. The I/O on the cpld is maxed out so I can't do a universal 2/3/6-button adapter.

Love the pics.


BTW, that ain't no lady.

Is there a significant difference in the work required? Considering how 3-button mode works, it's not like there's the potential for it to be incompatible with some games, right? I think the only reason not to have it is if you feel like you'd be making too much work for yourself.

It wouldn't be much more work to get the 3-button functions to work. The only real issue with the 3-button mode is that buttons II and I would map to buttons B and C and for traditional 2-button games, the close proximity to button A could lead to accidental pauses. I'd have to review the code when I get home and see if I can another I/O pin to make a 3 way switch happen.

I didn't get to stick around too long, but it was a great show!

Thanks again to those of you who helped try to fix my new TG-16 CD setup (and sorry, I never did catch your names!)  As we thought, a new middle gear was all it needed.  It's working great now!

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun.

Your RGB pic kinda gave that away already.

I knew somebody was bound to notice them.  I always forget about them whenever I want to show pictures of other mods.

These will be available soon, maybe in mid may or so.

Awesome! Will they be available at PCEFX or another website? I don't have the ability to watch youtube videos at the moment

$100 for a loose Mega Man cart?  Seriously?

Yeah, that was the Play it Retro booth.

https://www.facebook.com/PlayItRetro/

We stopped in his store on the way up. He had insane prices. Everyone here knows my view on prices, so if I call them crazy, you know they are bad. Things like Kid Drac GB loose for $100, or DKC for $30. As my friend put it, if you have a stack of 10 copies of a popular game on the shelf, like DKC, you know you are too high priced. His booth had a loose Bonk NES for $550. A Caltron 6-in-1 for $300+. I don't know if or how he sold anything, because all of his prices were 30% higher than the rest of tent.

Sounded awful for some of the sellers.. Here are a few posts by one of the local stores that had a table up there

Midwest gameing classic. I would rather be standing in a snow drift naked than listening to this blasting music killing my ears in this cold damp tent they call a vendor hall..

Someone stole mis adventures of tron bonne ps1 at the show. If someone here sees it call them out to security. We had only one at show.

Tomo Zulu Earlier the condensation on the inside of the tent was dripping off the roof creating a nice inside rain. A bunch of vendors had things get ruined. It was a mess.
