MAME ROW #62 is live!

MAME ROW #61 is live!

I was just trying a few games at random tonight and came across Gunbird 2 - it's quite similar to Lightning Fighters (bullet hell vertical shooter) but is better executed all round.

I'd never seen this (or the original Gunbird) before, I'm guessing perhaps they only appeared in Japan?

Anyway, for fans of these types of games, I recommend trying out Gunbird 2. Runs really nicely on a Rpi 3.

@gtbfilms From playing so much these last few weeks now, I think I have level 4 memorised, I think the easiest way is through the warp though :)

You need Lr-Mame 2010. You get a single screen as default (vs split screen in lr-mame2003)

@lilbud I'm sure it's not because of a large audience. Perhaps it is because of the love for random experimentations that its legion (of two or three people) has. :)

@meleu said in MAME ROW #54 - Paperboy:

Everytime the Paperboy arcade game comes to my mind I remember this picture of a guy holding the original Paperboy board:

same here. not shortly after, we got nes, had it jailbroken with dozens more crammed into a single board, that, not even 4th of its size.

Nice job there! Please also visit the Arcade Classics Time Pilot thread.

I'll have to try topping this hiscore - watch this space :-)

I was never able to get past the first level. Crazy hard game.

Never fear, MAME ROW #50 is here!

glad to see my favorite fighter taking the lead. wish it were '98 but ah well. :D

MAME ROW #48 is now live!

Well, the 3 B/B+ can be shortened considerably, there are hack projects for that. The battery is definitely overkill as well. My battery life is easily 8hrs+ with a 10,000 mAh battery. I can use a prefab sound card from Adafruit and lose that bulk too. The display won't be a problem it is actually very thin and the same footprint as the Pi. However, I really love the feel of a full size controller, and I don't think I'm stuffing that combo in my pocket any time soon.

However, when I finalize the build, I'm going to be ADDING weight in the form of RF shielding of the sound board and Pi/display. The sound board is picking up too much crap no matter how many filter caps I throw in the circuit.
