However you can get bespoke carts made though the AA store and by other AA users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the pictures. I was a bit concerned after seeing the Super Community video which had overscan and a black colour change in the display area on the right: The amount of overscan will vary depending on the TV/monitor - yours looks about perfect! My LCD monitor is not bad, a tiny amount on the left: My CRT monitor and LDC TV both show a bit more overscan on the left: I do not see the black colour change at all. In Altirra, if I configure for extended or full overscan, then I can see the overscan on the right as expected. However I still don't see the black colour change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to try it on my LCD to see how it looks. Thanks again. This is the Moon Patrol we’ve all been waiting for.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Maybe it should be called Moon Patrol Arcade, like Tep392's Pac-Man Arcade. Is there a Redux edition label? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
