Turning the power off fixes ALL problems. .... I wish people had an off switch as well.

http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon How they made it this far is beyond my comprehension. Basically someone decided to stream Pokemon Red on an emulator, and made a script that intercepted the IRC chat into commands for the emulator. Check it out

I really like the idea of select and reset on the controller. Make it select/start, and its a simple use of two more pins. I may have to do this mod very shortly on my Sears video arcade II. Disable the 3rd and 4th port... make them player 1/player 2 with the modified controllers.

Certain carts won't fit in the slot, because they made the cases thicker. I am using the Batari mod, I have been for a while, and it runs flawless. I stream with that setup, and it looks fantastic. akaviolence may have some pause switch/batari video mod boards available. Shoot him a PM. He also offers a video modding service.

If you like shmups, try to find a PS1 game called Zanac X Zanac. Its super expensive here in the states, and I know they exist... when I was in japan in 2004, I had a sealed copy in my hand in the store for $15.. and regret buying it to this day. I'm sure its still around. Zanac Neo has the most intricate scoring system of any shmup. Definitely lots of replay time with that one. And, you get the original NES Zanac with it as well. Also, pick up any Cave shoot em ups that you can find for the xbox 360. The hike in price getting it imported is about $20-30 depending on the site. If you can find a copy of Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets, snag it. Its out of print and quickly becoming rare.

BEAT THE BLACK KNIGHT! HAHAHAHAHAH! My favorite table of all time is now available. Plays amazingly well in Steam.

Very awesome. The only thing I would have done extra, would be to make the cabinet a little taller, add an arcade control panel with Sanwa parts, and an arcade Atari spinner modified into the paddle control. The fire button on the paddle would be left if I remember correctly, and you can make it all one port without needing to unplug the cable.

That's not a bad price for the PS1 lot, being it includes FF VII.

Bah... that's the worst. I wish you lived close, I'd be more than glad to open up my place to you and have some personal fun competition Does anyone know when this round will end?

58,650 Not a bad score, didn't have time to learn the pattern to max it out. I'm excited for the medal round!

BEAT THE BLACK KNIGHT! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm seriously like a little kid right now. That's my favorite table.

First attempt - 138,200 Not a bad little game. I never played the 2600 version before (well longer than 5 min, due to me dying on the first formation...) I kept dying there because I am not used to this game, always played the arcade version. My score on the arcade is over 100k as well, so I feel I can do a *lot* better at this game... I should be able to roll it honestly. I'll stream this game soon

187,000 I wish I had more time with this, my scores were jumping up with every game I played.

The fix worked. I also tried force disabling v-sync in the nvidia control panel. That, as expected, provided the best as far as flipper lag is concerned... but unfortunately the game is entirely too dependent on v-sync. The table literally looked torn in half horizontal with v-sync forced off. :/ At any rate, it went from not playable to very playable. Not perfect, but I don't want a table that looks like it has a time warp wrinkle halfway in it either. If I can force the frames to 60FPS instead of 120FPS+ then the wrinkle should go away... I got some tinkering to play with. But all in all, both Pinball FX 2 and Pinball Arcade are very playable now.

Awesome. I will change that value tonight. Hopefully this fixes the exact same flipper lag that I am having in Pinball FX 2 as well. The lag between the two games are identical, so I imagine it has everything to do with the v-sync. I somehow completely forgot that in the Nvidia drivers I can tell it to force no v-sync. I'm sure that will fix it too. EDIT: Come to think of it... every single v-sync enabled game I have ever played, has had this slight input delay. Even on FPS's with my mouse. I get to find out tonight if I can finally play CS Source with no lag, and v-sync on Same with Far Cry 2 and UT 2004

Does anyone else have flipper lag on PC? I'm running an Nvidia 650ti, with an i5 2500k processor and 16gb RAM. No matter what, I am getting flipper lag. I assume that this is due to vsync forced on, as I get the same kind of lag out of any game due to it. Is there a way to turn off v-sync?

1600 I can't get into this game at all... mainly at how long it takes for a game to start. I would also like to get a bonus point to Miss 2600, for climbing up so quickly in the standings, in such a short amount of time.

Gah... I wasn't around any way to post the pic of my last score, being I didn't get a chance to play on Sunday.

Once I get everything settled and I am streaming again, I will start submitting scores to all the high score sites. Retroids, this, maybe even resurrect a few posts on retrogaming magazine.

I find that I do better at twitch games... oddly enough... when I am absolutely exhausted. I'm trying for a better score, and I didn't take a pic because I know I can do better... but I'm averaging around 17k.

It was too bright in the living room... I'll give it another go tonight when the sun is down. 79,550

I didn't know that. I managed to get the points getting one pixel away from donkey kong and jumping, but I never knew how they managed to get the points that far away from Donkey Kong. Good to know

I generally have 3 going then start Frankenstein. I haven't been good enough yet to do all 6 at once.

My game 7 score didn't change. Game 5: 2111 Game 7: 1310 Total: 3421 Point difference - 801

I'll try this again thursday night when I'm not drunk. Game 5: 1517 Game 7: 1310
