Andromeda Stardust Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I just bought 3 4-way daisy chained link cables, a Famicom converter, and the Bubble Bobble cab from Myarcadegaming. Remains to be seen if the converters are wired properly. Some aren't, and create the same incompatibility issues with real hardware that the NOAC clones do, namely A13 and mirroring pins occasionally being jumpered in the converters, because 90% of retail carts have them jumpered like that.

I purchased 3 of those cables and in a couple days I am setting up my my arcade mini arcade of all 14 units. I will post a pic soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hella fun game though... It's a minor problem but I really like that thing, the trouble with the Namco cab is much more severe On 8/30/2019 at 1:47 PM, negative1 said: Looks like they modified the bubble bobble roms to have the happy ending for 1 player; That's actually pretty neat that they bothered 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgotusername Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 In case it hasn't been mentioned here yet, I wanted to give a warning: Bubble Bobble 2 is very glitched on the Bubble Bobble Pocket Player. Any platforms that moved are stationary in the background for whatever reason, and the first boss doesn't scroll to the side properly (leaving Bub stuck on the righthand side). Its not COMPLETELY unplayable, but definitely very annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I don't even bother with those things anymore and only kept the 2 (3) in 1 unit on my desk. But MUST BUY TMNT PINBALL. That thing is amazing for what you get. Skee Ball seems too neutered, we have the actual snap together foot long one from late last year at home and whack a mole I could see a child getting behind but with the d-pad it's lacking. https://superimpulse.com/boardwalk-arcade/tmnt-electronic-pinball/ That looks like a class piece of work and I can see myself hunting that down as I love pinball and TMNT so it's too much. Kind of curious if the board is a test bed with anything hidden in there like some others that had hidden hacked out goodies with games sharing boards.

Super Impulse has a Cracker Barrel exclusive Pacman Tabletop edition coming out soon which should be available through the regular retailers,Amazon,Walmart etc. later. There will also be a Tabletop Ms. Pacman and Space Invaders as well. Cool stuff!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbalion Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 I was checking out Basic Fun's page and I was excited to see that they are releasing a 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?' handheld this month! Same form factor as the 'Oregon Trail' unit released earlier. I was hoping they would do this! Oh, I also saw a reproduction Speak and Spell from them at Rural King today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbalion Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was wondering that myself, though that is usually missing when and if you find the disks from that time. Guess we will find out once one of us gets their hands on an actual copy of the game. I hope they do include something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hey folks,the Cracker Barrel website has the mini tabletop Pacman available to order now.

NE146 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 That thing is for pure display / collecting. The fact that it actually can play a game is more of a novelty ? I mean, at this point if your desire REALLY is to sit down and enjoy playing a miniature toy game of Pac-Man, there are about 12 dozen other choices out there for you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same engine as the other two, continuous munching, bad ai, neutered difficulty ramp, then I don't want it.

I gave up on anything this small as being accurate or playable for periods of time, they are just for showing off in collections. The myarcade portables and mini units are actually worthwhile for the cost. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I may look for it next time I go to Cracker Barrel. If it's super impulse, it's gonna be janky. The my arcade cabs actually play pretty well because they use the nes roms. Those were not perfect but they were programmed with love.?

roberto Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 While on a trip I bumped into a shop having a few of these micro arcades: I never saw them before and they were quite a nice surprise! Naturally, I was disappointed to realize they are the NES version instead of the original arcade (really bad for games like Karate Champ!) I *HAD* to buy something, though so I chose the Bubble Bobble one since, for what I could remember, the NES conversion was quite ok. I am actually enjoying it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
