  1. Hi all, sorry if this is super basic I just want to confirm before spending some cash. If I turn off wifi on my Nintendo Switch, that will stop it from updating, right? I'm considering one of those little pinball cabinets you can slide the Switch in to but given Williams tables have changed licenses and publishers over the years, I'd be annoyed if I got a cabinet, set up Pinball FX to my liking only to find five years from now they lost the license and my pinball cab doesn't do what I want it to do anymore. If I turn off wifi, that'll stop it, right?
  2. Here's a challenge for you modding guys ....
  3. Yup still here and still loving Nukey's work, he was a great guy.
  4. Hi Tomas (ignore my reply in YouTube since you have now replied). I don't have a 2600+ cuz the Gamestation Pro is better for my needs. If it's not possible to get Bell Hopper to recognize the Gamestation paddle no worries. Awesome game for those who can enjoy it.
  5. Yup. I went to YouTube to convince myself I wanted the 1943 cab with the yellow t-molding and by the time I got back (ten minutes later) the only cabs left in stock were the woodgrain 1942's so I grabbed one asap. All gone very quickly.
  6. If they stick Pole Position II on there I'll definitely get it (first Pole Position only has one track so I'm less interested)
  7. If so definitely Day One purchase from me.
  8. I saw some of GenX'es info from CES. Sad to see the new Gamestation joysticks seem to be for a new console model and not something I can synch to my existing Gamestation cuz the one I have is perfect (other than the B and C button locations) so I really don't want to buy yet another console just for better button placement.
  9. If that wireless joystick can be paired to my existing Gamestation Pro that is a definite purchase from me.
  10. Hi there, forgive the necro-bump but My Arcade just enabled paddle control support on their Atari Gamestation Pro this week and although a bunch of great homebrew ROMs now work in it, Avalanche does not. The buckets just go to one side of the screen and stay there. Any ideas why and if this is patchable?
  11. Hi there, forgive the necro-bump but My Arcade just enabled paddle control support on their Atari Gamestation Pro this week and although a bunch of great homebrew ROMs now work in it, Bell Hopper does not. The rabbit just goes to one side of the screen and stays there. Any ideas why and if this is patchable?
  12. Hi there, I was trying to explain the Mr. Boston cartridge to my dad and he can't grasp it's a video game cart made by a liquor company. I thought I'd email him a website that shows both the liquor company history as well as the game and I can't find anything. I can find sites about just the booze or sites about just the Vectrex game but not a single site that discusses both (like with pictures and stuff). Anyone know of any?
  13. Been wanting to get my hands on Rescue on Fractalus for a while and since the Gamestation Pro plays 5200 games I thought maybe this would be a solution. Having said that, I think Rescue uses like four or five buttons, doesn't it? So no dice on the Gamestation is my guess?
  14. Glad you found my video! Yup they both use the directions same way as the arcade machine (I don't have a 5200 so can't confirm that one for ya). Both are very good, I would say Wormhole is slightly better due to the music and the polish. Gyrostrology is no slouch though, incredible work!
  15. Had a blast with my eight year old nephew playing Mario Kart GP DX in the local arcade a couple of weeks ago. Before the game starts you can get you picture taken by the webcam to make your driver look funny and/or more recognizable that this is the character you are playing. My nephew stood up in his car seat so the webcam only took a photo of his shirt and not his face. Made me wonder if he's smarter than me when it comes to privacy concerns. The game does have a disclaimer on the screen promising any pictures taken will be deleted after the race but in these modern times I'm wondering if that's really true or not. Any Operators or Engineers willing to assure me my photo taken with this cabinet's webcam is really deleted?
  16. Since we Canadians have to wait till tomorrow to actually be able to buy a My Arcade Gamestation Pro, I've got my finger on the "purchase" button right now but I'm just curious: those of you who have had the unit for a while, how durable is that joystick? I busted a FlashBack 2 joystick on Saboteur years ago so I'm adjusting my play style not to be so rough. Are the Gamestation joysticks flimsy? Also, anyone able to confirm the sync issue a Reddit guy posted about below?
  17. Seems I have an answer to my question. The joystick works one of two ways, according to this guy's video. Either you turn it on for wireless and it runs off the batteries OR you plug it into the console with a USB cable. Can't simply power it with USB and have it run wirelessly...
  18. Crazy question here: to save myself going through AA batteries, could I just hook up a power bank to the USB connector on the joystick? I don't see why that wouldn't work.
  19. Awesome stuff John. You mention the controller isn't all that great. Is it loose like the FlashBack X controller or weak like the Atari VCS Classic controller? Just wondering.
  20. FINALLY New Wave Toys has something I'm interested in! It'll go nicely beside my Charge machine
