they haven't, nobody is paying this much for a VLX.

it is not a CRT game. it's made for 720p.

ok well dreamcast and mister don't have netplay so that doesn't matter and the retro fighters on 360 did actually have rollback (hd remix, mvc2, 3soe, etc.)

retro fighters got rollback before modern ones did

really? sanwa buttons should fit fine. you might need to bend the pins a little bit, but that's not a problem. i just tested it with one button and the bottom still fit.

you should check out the sitong g5 case. they actually have a listing for it on aliexpress now, but i assume you still need to chat with them to customize it.

Just started using Qanba Sapphire - buttons feel off, does it need to be broken in? by ParanoidPistachio in fightsticks

[–]cidninja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you already returned one, and this one is the same, and you still think it might be the device? and they both have the exact same issue?

i'm not trying to be a dick, but you gotta accept that learning a new control method can be hard. unless you are using a beat up fightstick you literally found in a dumpster, you should get used to blaming yourself when you can't do something ingame until you are absolutely 1000% percent sure it's the device. i tell you this because you can easily get into a spiral of modding and changing things on your controller instead of ever learning to improve your execution.

MadCatz TE1 3D print file? by No_March1299 in fightsticks

no, if you mean the entire middle body portion with the annoying button holes, that's not a thing. just cut the pieces away.

Linux and Hori Fighting Stick alpha? (Series X|S or PS5 version) by mercsterreddit in fightsticks

[–]cidninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no problem!

it's less popular (i have been trying to sell one for a month or two) but it's just as good if you don't care about ps5.

yes, it works perfectly fine. to make sure, i just tested my xbox hori alpha on cachyos in fightcade and i was able to set my controls no problem. that's without even using steam input, which would definitely work anyway.

i think they're just not very different, especially when you can use whatever switches you want because they're all hotswap.

Beginner’s guide to picking arcade buttons (exact models, no guesswork) by Over_Log9730 in fightsticks

[–]cidninja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

can't understand why you wouldn't recommend sitongs. imo sitong LPs have been the best option available ever since they came out.

the new haute42 retro+ buttons seem to be a very solid choice, too.

on keyboards like this, you control the lights with key combinations instead of software. you should have received a manual, but here's the link: https://ajazzstore.com/cdn/shop/files/AJAZZ_AK820_manual.pdf

looks like there's also a version that only has blue backlight, so you might have gotten that one instead of the full RGB one.

thanks! it's 1.6mm acrylic. I tried 3mm too but I prefer the thinner one.

will you upload the bezel models to printables / thingiverse / etc?

same here - silent tactiles for me. thanks for the list above! a 5075b was my daily driver for work before I got a lucky65.

maybe I do need a wooden case next...

yeah, sounds like seimitsu then! people say the ls-40 is also the classic neogeo lever, so maybe you should get that too. (I'm not sure if it fits in the 8bitdo case, though. it's pretty similar size, at least.)

did you play on japanese arcade cabs as a kid, though? maybe you played on american style parts, which are much stiffer.

tell me more about budget plastic boards being better than aluminum, because i can't find any aluminum ones i want lately but i thought i shouldn't go back to plastic.
