Darksakul:

My Opinion about sticks and next gen consoles.
It isn’t going to happen any time soon, don’t hold your breath.

There only 1 fighting game even announced for next gen and it by the way things are going it going to stink.

If they had 1 console / 1 player LAN tourney support in games, events could be run quickly and efficiently, but everything goes through the mother ship these days.

Darksakul · 2013-09-06T20:51:06.000Z

Unlikely unless either Sony or Microsoft sets up and make it happen for larger more prestigious tournaments like Evo or God’s Garden .
Small time Tourneys are SOL

Technically someone should be able to make a USB-USB adapter for next gen consoles to use PS3/360 sticks. If it’s using a decent processor, it should only cost a few milliseconds to gather and pass off the data, which will be dwarfed by the latency in the rest of the system.

2, Divekick is a PS4 launch title.

Shoryuken – 31 Aug 13

Divekick Confirmed as PlayStation 4 Launch Title

For players looking wondering if they'll be able to experience intense diving and kicking action at the PlayStation 4's launch, wonder no more. At last nights PlayStation Indie Arcade event at PAX, Sony CEA VP of Publisher and Developer Relations...

Personally, I’ve been wondering if people would be interested in some sort of custom control panel that would interface with a padhacked controller or PCB to allow the existing TE control panel (or at least the plastic bits and switchgear) to work with them.

As much hype as Dive Kick gotten, I can’t keep an idea of a standalone Dive Kick stick serious. But that point is moot which you try to factor in other games.
I also Know the PS 4 is supposed to have a New exclusive shmup, but then again its by the makers of Super Stardust, so I don’t know if it conform to a arcade stick standard.

For us Pro Stick builders and modders, well just pad hack a offical pad so its no worries for us, it’s those inexperienced guys who should be worried.
Then again I ran into trouble trying to Probe a Ouya game pad.

Genesis Era Sonic

Post Genesis to current Era Sonic

Yay, fixed my headphones. Getting the heatshrink to fit over the connector was a pain, but I was too lazy to desolder, slip the heatshrink over, and do everything over again.

At the very least, they should be able to remain functional until I can afford to replace them. Not sure what I’ll replace them with. I’m currently tied between AKG 701/702, Beyer DT990, and Grado-Alessandro MS1000(Grado MS1 mod). I know I would enjoy any of the headphones, I just don’t know which pair I would want to purchase.

looks like I won the august snapback contest with the Marine stick I built for Kuya Joe! They got the name wrong but that’s no biggie…lol

Would never have been possible without all the folks here that taught me so much

undamned · 2013-09-08T08:34:35.000Z

Recently dropped $400 on replacement cooling fans for CPS2 boards. Weird dropping that much money on something so mundane.

In more exciting recent purchase news, I just scored the most limited regular release Rockman game ever. My collection seems pretty solid at this point.

Don’t think I’ll need a next-gen compatible stick until GG:XRD if that’s next-gen. Hopefully there will be some Chinese knock-off options by then, since I don’t really want to drop an extra $60 on a pad.

DaRabidDuckie · 2013-09-09T00:39:21.000Z

etalage:

Why are the prices of sticks still at they levels they have been for a while? Shouldn’t they fall with the release of the XBONE and PS4? Though I guess not since most of the fighting game community will still run off 360/PS3 tech. Wishful thinking.

Because people are still willing to pay that price. It’s something I’m having to learn as a businessman myself. You charge what people will pay, not what it’s actually worth to you.

Grats on that. Going up against one of Sam’s sticks and winning is quite an accomplishment, and that was the stick to do it.

Speaking of Snapbacks, a stick I worked on three years ago off of one of Byrdo’s old cases ended up in this month’s running. >.>

I am not a huge fan of roms in general, but I’ve found that I greatly prefer them sorted into genres. I couldn’t find any tools that offer this for the NES.

Here’s a small bat file that will chew through a GoodNES set and copy files to sub directories. Just put it in the same directory as an extracted GoodNES set and run it.

I need to do the same for Genesis. It just took me several hours to get this together.

I’ve been thinking of possibly doing more tech related editorial content on the front page, but I’m not sure about what exactly to write about. Anyone have any suggestions?

Gummo · 2013-09-09T11:24:22.000Z

Power Glove.

Looks like GG:XRD is confirmed PS4 now, since it was just on the Sony press conference. Although, maybe they’ll release on PS3 as well, who knows.

Edit:

Oh it seems it is PS3/PS4. So that’s cool, no need to padhack right away.

I will admit that I wouldn’t have written the front page article if not for this post. I was watching the press-con but had to leave halfway when my grandma called to have me get stuff to fix her kitchen sink.

So for like a dozen Facebook post, I found legitimate ways to use the same image over and over as a response

My new WTF reaction pic.

It would be cool if you covered UD-CPS2 at some point Only thing I’m really missing press-wise is some cool art. There’s actually some nice line art of the stock CPS2 in Capcom’s original game manuals that I’d like to vectorize and use, but just been busy w/ other stuff.

I can imagine Usagi /Serena saying “You want to stick what in my where”?
