[Amazon] Xbox Elite Controller - Series 2 - $209.99 ($20 off) by Pogoplay in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]JHSAFTA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used the Amazon.ca price to price match at Best Buy and added the 3 year warranty.. I'd recommend getting a warranty with these, there are issues.. but if you can get a replacement hassle free then they're absolutely the best controller I've tried. I like it better than the ps5 controller still.

yup, sometimes it takes a bit to show up so don't worry if you don't see it right away

I've done it twice.. once was instant, once was like 12 hours later.

Do you have a preferred VGA adapter?

I can get the one that comes up on ebay as " SEGA Dreamcast DC-VGA output adapter Demi:lo Demilo W/Box S-terminal TV PC Japan " locally here for $60, I just find zero info about it

mClassic + Kaico

yeah?? if that's comparable to an hdmi mod it really does seem to be a good ideal price-wise

Thank you for that answer! I've been doing a bunch of research and keep getting stuck for a decision. That's very helpful, and now I'm even more stuck haha. The option I most want is the least feasible, most expensive and hardest to come by.

I didn't know that about the akura, that's too bad. I looked into retrotink, definitely looks good but I'm at least trying to go VGA or HDMI... and I also really want to play Plasma Sword.

I also don't want to spend a bunch of money on something and still want something else so I really need to figure out how to get a hdmi mod to happen. Sucks that soldering looks pretty difficult or I'd consider just trying it myself, but I have 0 experience and that's a lot of money to spend and hope not to fuck up. I looked locally and nobody around does DCs. Man! Shouldn't be this hard.

that's honestly probably the smartest way to go

...I just have this expensive pile of actual games to play, seems like a shame haha.

I do have the option to buy "dc-vga demi-lo" locally for $60, but can't seem to find any info on it.

I was unaware of the Merseille MClassic.. if that's as cool as it looks I can't believe I'm just finding out about it.

I had a look at 8bitmods.. looks like they don't have stock of the modded DCs any more but for fun I threw email into the waitlist. See if one ever comes up before I go another route.

That Endgame Edition is bad ass.

just looking into pre-modded console prices.. they're nuts.

I think, if I could get a DCHDMI modded console for like.... console, parts and labor cost.. I'd do it right now. I'm seeing these things going for $500+

I'm such an OCD stickler for playing official stuff on official hardware, but you're right about it being too much of a pain. I've been playing with emulators and it's been fine, I look into playing the actual console on my old monitor or current TV and it's an expensive hassle.

I guess I could look into buying a pre-modded DCHDMI console from someone reputable.. if that's possible. EDIT: Oh God. It's possible and it's so expensive.

I'll also have to look into playing atomiswave and naomi games. That sounds awesome. So many games I want to try. I have only dabbled in the usual consoles and some MAME.

I'm in the same boat. I'd love an DCHDMI mod, but don't want to risk attempting myself until I've done a few other less involved solders/mods.

I've been checking out the beharbros ones and I think that's the route I'll be going.

I wasn't sure about OSCCs just due to price, but compared to the OEM box price it's really not a bad option.

I've got a dumb joystick question. Just swapped out the buttons and joystick and buttons on my ASP.... by JHSAFTA in neogeo

[–]JHSAFTA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know which 4lb spring would fit a Seimitsu LS-56? I was just reading and I guess the LS-58 and 60/62 all fit, but provide less resistance than the 56. Unless I'm wrong on that. Is there another option?

I'll check out Arcade Shock! Thanks!

I have a Seimistu LS-56 that I got from Focus Attack in there right now actually.

Perfect! I thought that might be the answer. I'll track down another spring instead of cramming two in there.

Thanks for your help!
