PWA Thread (Pinball Wizard Arcade Thread)

that’s cool, i still play CT. it’s going to be japanese parts right with the correct layout for bb
like this

not to be a pain, but playing on japanese parts at home and then trying to use the american sticks would be really hard/weird for that game.

kona, you know you can’t get those outside of japan due to the NESiCA system.

you might want to look into creating a Poll thread for the “few other fighters” you are looking at to gauge interest and linking to it in your first post. Of course, this is the internet so who knows if the data you’d get would actually mean anything. I will totally play CT on an HD cab. To me, this is HUGE news cause that means PWA will have a cab capable of playing games requiring a taito-x2 board. Really wish SNK-Playmore would put out more King of Fighters 13 kits cause that game doesn’t even have a console release date and I think there are only like 3 in the US.

Awesome!!! Any ETA on when we will receive more information regarding this extra space for console gaming? That will be HUGE for NH gaming community.:woot::nunchuck:

I’m definitely interested in checking out this arcade. Especially after hearing that it’s legit, and has all four of the first MK games!

I will say that if you’re interested in getting the competitive scene going over there, having the latest versions of the next gen fighters is essential. For BlazBlue, that would be BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II, and for Street Fighter, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. I think people from would be willing to travel (even from out of state) to play at PWA if you had those games, just so long as the displays don’t lag and they have Sanwa parts with standard (Vewlix or Astro/Blast City style) layouts.

I’m sorry if that seems like a lot of requirements, but those are the standards of the community, and I’m just trying to give some suggestions! If you can meet those standards, I think you could get a lot of regulars, and if you were to hold tournaments, there’s a good chance that a lot of people would show up.

Also, Super Street Fighter II Turbo would be a great addition (if you don’t already have it). Classic game, and people still play it competitively.

I hope to be able to make it up there soon! Cheers.

Midways The Grid should make an appearance. 3 cabs would be insane and I know I would be down to go up there often for that.

So here is what was done tonight.

1.) SFA3 (all switches for player 1 and player 2 were replaced)
2.) Mortal Kombat’s power supply was replaced
3.) Donkey Kong Jr control stick was adjusted and now will not stick
3.) Guns setup on the new Carnevil game. just some minor adjustments and is should be out on the floor in a couple of days

Come on out for some rounds

PWAFighter

will be seeing you tomorrow …errr today rather

Glad to see you here Adam! Im sure I will be seeing you this weekend (as i always stop in) and im also glad your doign your best to make proper adjusments, this is a good source for intel on how to run a great arcade !

Super exciting.

I’ve been in a couple times this week already and haven’t seen you there! I’ll probably be stopping by tonight or tomorrow (maybe both)

I want to punch that boxer machine and play Elevator Action. Hopefully they’ll be people in the fighter’s row.

Ya During the weekdays I am there in the evening hours around 9:00 PM till way after close fixing machines.
Weekends is where you will see me most during the day.

This weekend I have to help a buddy move some hardware from Maine in the morning so I will not be over to the PWA until late afternoon until close (on Saturday).

I hope to get the BB machine up and working this weekend, the a few tests and tweaks and we can get it out on the floor.

PWAFighter

i’ll test it for you hahahaha

Just a heads up–the left direction on the p2 side wasn’t working at all today.

Richardo
thanks for the heads up. I will check it when I go over tonight

PWAfighter

if you work on the rail shooters, the area 51 player 2 gun doesn’t shoot where you aim. it’s almost like you have to tilt the gun to the right to make it align properly.

any eta on the bb cab as well? i’m hoping to stop by again after work tomorrow to see if it’s out, if not i’ll probably just wait.

BB will most likely done by early next week. I will post here when it goes out on the floor

PWA Fighter

SFA3 player 2 joystick left switch has been replaced.

PWAFighter

I’m gonna be dropping by later tonight, probably around 7 PM or so, if anyone else wants to show up and get some games in.

That Neo Geo cabinet is on watch!

Blazblue is alive… now on to tweaking next couple of days

PWAFighter

nice! i’m hyped.

badass. I’ll probably stop by late in the evening on monday night.
