I like all that extra animation.  It reminds me of the digital comics on the PSX, they were full of animated scenes where traditionally single static screens had been used.  I'm glad I have the arcade card. :D

I'm not. I want to run over mine with my car and eat the pieces on a sandwich. I'll show that Arcade Card who's boss.

I'll adopt your Arcade Card nat.  :P Are there any papers I need to sign? How big is the waiting list? No doubt there is an endless line of interviews.

Seriously though, once I get my Duo region modded - or at least with the distinct prospect of the Duo getting modded - I'll be getting my hands on an Arcade Card Duo. It's just too awesome not to have one.  8)

As for 3X3 Eyes, the music seemed to be a little different after the first minute or so into the intro with the Arcade Card. Same melody, but minor changes in the sounds playing the "instruments" - I guess a more realistic sound. I'll have to look at B_T's side by side.

I think with the ACD all the animation is loaded at once so it can play redbook over the intro. With it running in SCD mode it plays chip tunes to the CD can load data.


...I think...

So that would be another big difference.

Its too bad the game runs almost the same in either mode. If the game looked like the intro...wow...

Yeah, I don't even know what the actual gameplay looks like.

Yeah, the Super CD cinemas run PSG music so the loads don't seem so intrusive.

I finished the 3 x 3 Eyes ACD/SCD video.

It shows the spitscreen comparison, then cinema 1 ACD, cinema 1 SCD, cinema 2 ACD, cinema 2 SCD.

The fullscreen cinemas are unedited once they begin and show the difference in load times.
