Forgotten Worlds isn't playable with this setup.  These are 12 position digital rotary switches.  Forgotten Worlds uses true analog spinners.  The original Capcom spinners have a button built in as well, so they can be pushed to fire, very rare these days, I've seen original 1 player panels sell for $500.  An original FW pcb is very expensive as well.  So no I don't.   I'm quite happy with the PC-Engine port which does have full analog support too.

Your so gay.

Hey man I know you got some beef with Super but really was this at all necessary?? Try to keep this stuff in fighting street please, his post seriously did not need this kind of response from anyone.

You can ALL go to hell while I play the Megadrive Lost Worlds.  :-"

Actually, Deadite do you have a pic of the analogue controller you use for pc-e?

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah I'd like to see that as well. I have some vague memory of it being shown before but I can't be certain.

I use the Micomsoft/Sharp Cyberstick which was created by the President of Micomsoft who was a huge Afterburner fan and wanted proper controls at home.  The XE-1AP hand-held controller also works.  But for PCE you need the XHE-3 adapter which is much rarer then the actual controllers.   Using the full size stick with FW takes some time getting used to, but after proper calibration and a little practice it works quite well.

The main purpose of these old analog controllers is for X68000 use, but there's a hand-full of PCE/MD/MCD/32X and even a few FM Towns and PC-98 games which support it as well.

Here's my old PCE Analog demo vid.

So...to sum up, a hard to find controller with an even harder to find adapter.  AWESOME!!!  The XE-1AP I mean.

For anyone interested - Galloping Ghost Arcade north of Chicago has an original FW cab in perfect working order, with the spinners. Makes playing the game a whole different experience vs. the consoles.

Wow, good thing the PCE version isn't for two-players!

Yup! Though I think we spent the equivalent of like $50 each in credits trying to beat the game, heh.

I was scoping out YJA auctions for awhile until I found this one, I think I paid about 8000 yen (~$80) in auction, but after fees and all it was probably a bit under $100 all said and done to get it to my door.  I bought a couple other things so I was at least able to combine international shipping on it too.
