Candy Cab Coin Slot Button Replacement #nocutmod

The sit-down, large monitor arcade machines nicknamed “candy cabs” are amazing ways to experience classic arcade games.  They’re versatile and work well with almost all JAMMA-based games, as well as modern emulation devices such as MiSTerCade and others.  There’s a few problems that both home-users and modern arcade’s run into though:  These were designed to […]

Checkmate 19″ Display (Case Only) Kickstarter

Here’s an interesting project that I have mixed feelings about:  A retro-themed, 19″ flat-panel display kit, with an absolutely beautiful case for just under $500.  To be clear: This Kickstarter is ONLY FOR THE CASE ($320) and the panel (potentially multiple choices) will be available to purchase next year for around $150.  This project requires […]

Behar Bros Hayabusa Supergun Reviewed

Measuring WaveBird Wireless Lag

Sometimes the simplest questions can be the most fascinating. I wondered to myself if the wireless part of a standard Nintendo GameCube WaveBird controller is introduces any extra latency compared to a wired controller. Spoiler alert: In this test environment the result was ~5ms of extra latency. That is around 1/3 of a frame. I […]

Genesis Mini 2 Lag Tested

The Genesis Mini 2 performs better than the original, with a pretty stable 3 frames of lag from button press to movement on screen.  Audio delay is about 5 frames over the original, so it can sometimes feel a bit delayed.  For $130 delivered with 60 games and an awesome box & shell, I’d call this […]
