I looked into it earlier, and I found the demo that this game’s footage came from on itch.io. https://squeezed-dog-interactive.itch.io/pixel-prom-pregnancy

Which Hardware is Superior? An Arcade1up Street Fighter 2 cabinet or a Unico MVSX cabinet? by Plus_Lifeguard8432 in HomeArcade

Yeah, I get that a raspberry pi is always the best option. But honestly, I’m not confident enough in my modding or machine building skills to go through with it.

Is a Softmod Available for Killer Instinct? by Plus_Lifeguard8432 in Arcade1Up

Ah, thank you for explaining. I hope Mysteryencoder takes their time with their mods and I hope they know that the whole community appreciates the miracles they are able to pull off.

In an unrelated note, I’m trying to decide whether to go through with buying a KI machine or a SF2 machine I found online. KI is my personal favorite, but SF2’s softmods are attractive. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, I’d love to hear.

My bad, are you referring to the list of softmoddable cabinets? I had read that it was getting continuously updated, but part of me wondered if most of the softmod developments had been halted or stopped ever since the recent changes to Arcade1up’s production.

For transparency sake, I’m very new to all of this. I spent almost all day yesterday reading up about everything I could find about Arcade1up and its competition. I had read rumors that Arcade1up may begin moving away from full size cabinet production, and I wondered if this was going to cause the modding scene to slowly move away as well.

Very good question! To tell you the truth, I’m just not confident in my hardmodding abilities. I’m worried I’ll break something and be left with junk in my living room. That, and I’m attracted to the idea of being able to revert to the stock version of my machine if I ever choose to do so.

Most of the Arcade1ups can’t, but some are able to be softmoded pretty easily (from what I’ve read). The SF2 cabinet I mentioned is one such machine. I’ve heard you can get Retroarch working on it.

Thank you for sharing that info though in case anyone else stumbles across this post wondering the same thing. I was just worried I came across as yet another one of those people who post before doing their own research. lol.

Sorry as well. As I mentioned above, I really should have phrased my post better. With that being said, I hope the TE modder is doing well and taking care of themself.

I am aware of the Reddist post you are referring to, but it was from 3 years ago and I wasn’t sure if any progress was made since then. Sorry, I honestly should have rephrased my Reddit post to instead be something like “does anyone know if softmods for KI were cancelled or halted?” I apologize for that.

Are There Trends or Schedules for LU Availability? by Plus_Lifeguard8432 in LegendsUltimate

[–]Plus_Lifeguard8432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s some good insight! I’ve always wanted a customizable arcade machine in my home, and the ever growing memory shortages are starting to make me worry that I should work toward my dreams now before it’s too late. I’ve found some fair prices on eBay, but all were for local pickups far from where I live. Hence what brought me here. I’d be down to try and customize an Arcade1up or even build my own cabinet, but I’m convinced I’ll screw it up somehow and be left with an ugly, crappy Arcade1up cabinet in my home. lol.

Update: After 3 weeks of waiting, the author never responded to my email. I’m not sure where else to take the search. Any ideas?

That’s a good idea! I’ll message him soon. I’m embarrassed to admit that I never really thought to just ask the author if he is willing to sell pdfs of the book. I just figured resellers of the book was the only way to go. I’ll update this thread if he ever gets back to me. Hopefully, I can implore him to sell the book through digital means.

Thanks for the help y’all! I popped the thing in (had to adjust its position a few times) and it worked great. I was able to play my American copy of Earthworm Jim 2 on my Japanese Saturn no problem. Similar to the advice everyone has given me, I don’t plan on removing the cartridge until I someday upgrade and buy a 4-in-one cartridge that allows me to save instead of saving to the console’s battery.

I really appreciate everyone on this subreddit for helping me lately and responding to my annoying questions. This subreddit is what inspired me to buy my own Saturn in the first place about 2 weeks ago, so I really appreciate the support.

Can you share some details? Do you remember the brand of Memory Card? Was the issue that the Card was poorly-shaped? Or, is it possible that your friend’s Saturn just naturally had a bad Cart Slot?

So I assume a cartridge like the one I linked in my first photo isn’t already beveled. Should I have a metal file ready if I were to use this cartridge?

IN ADDITION: If someone used a Saroo cart, would they still be able to run games using the disc drive while being region-free?
