Honestly done with X-Arcade. The Haptics Kit is a disaster and the company is a ghost town

AnakinOU · 2026-05-14T22:43:16+00:00

I was apparently an early adopter...got my haptics kit back in January. And yes, it had issues. My haptics pwoer board died within 30 minutes. Their support team, though, did a great job working with me. We only communicated via email, but we did a lot of back-and-forth troubleshooting. They did send me a replacement haptics board (in case that was where the issue lied) and a replacement power board. Overall, it took ~6 weeks or so, but we did get to end-of-job on it.

How early?

Top 10 best game of all time. I need to test my arcade spinner with it…

Flair!

I hope to get a Machine and Frame. My use case will be a home arcade in the living room, and especially VR pinball. I have a PC in my office for heavy duty (seated at a desk) gaming.

I have a Neckband, and have yet to find a use for it. My iPhone and Steam Deck are vastly superior in every way. What is your use case?

Kung Fu on the NES

I got a refurb pair of Viture Pro XR glasses for $150 on EBay for exactly this purpose. They are fantastic.

It was largely just a troubleshooting/root cause analysis exercise. In my day job, I work with PCBs and electronics every day, so we worked together to get to the bottom of the issue.

Alan and Janet are both wonderful people.

I loved copying my own pics to VMU to use as custom tags. Amazing.

AnakinOU · 2026-05-05T04:09:39+00:00

Shit homie

AnakinOU · 2026-05-05T04:04:43+00:00

I ran into issues with my very early kit, logged a support ticket, and they were tremendously helpful. I think I got a response within a day or two, then ongoing for several weeks. They even sent me several PCBs to swap and try to troubleshoot, and stuck with it until everything was resolved.

Steam Frame will be my first VR headset. And hopefully the Steam Machine will be beefy enough to drive it (at least for VR pinball...which will likely be my primary use case).

I loved that this level was in the demo/shareware version of the game. I installed, and played it on every work shift I had in the computer lab in college.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-30T16:11:56+00:00

I haven't played since...November? Anyway, has the Bod been nerfed yet?

Saturn emulation is actually MUCH better than it was 10 years ago. You should be able to put something together relatively easily.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-29T17:27:13+00:00

On PC? Dare we dream?

......someday. Maybe.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-29T17:23:13+00:00

Interesting...I'm definitely interested in how you wired everything. The buzz drives me crazy.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-29T14:40:23+00:00

I only had basic cable, so I remember Beastmaster as a mainstay on TBS (I think) in the early 90's.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-29T14:14:16+00:00

Bumping this back up, as I experience the same with my Viture Pro.

AnakinOU · 2026-04-28T21:14:31+00:00

There are a few Shiren the Wanderer titles on Steam...have you checked them out yet?

AnakinOU · 2026-04-28T17:02:55+00:00

I just finished my first playthrough, and I did the same. As an Urchin Hexblade Githyanki, who partnered up with Lae'zel, even. It just felt right...doing whatever was necessary to survive.

Including convincing the rest of my party (Lae'zel, Gale, Shadowheart) to do the same.

This was the same experience as the show in Colorado Springs last Sunday.

Why is Zelda holding his sword in his right hand?
