For me, video games are a direct gateway to the past, a real life time machine that can resurrect and allow us to re-experience the youthfulness of days gone by. This channel is dedicated to sharing some of the memorable and not so memorable companies, titles, and hardware that make that possible. I'd love to hear your own thoughts and experiences in the comments, connecting with others as a community is the primary purpose of this channel. Thanks for joining the journey, and welcome to Scarlet Sprites.
My Virtua Fighter Arcade Hardware Collection
I'd been playing a lot of Virtua Fighter 3 lately while testing the RetroTink 4K. It made me want to resume the pursuit for a Virtua Fighter 2 pcb once again. I found myself consumed with so much Virtua Fighter stuff the last month that I decided I'd make a quick video recapping how I play the original through the latest entry.

The Punisher - CPS 1.5 Arcade PCB Resurrected!
Переглядів 1,9 тис.6 місяців тому
I picked up what I believed to be a suicided Capcom Punisher CPS 1.5 PCB. The hope was that I had grabbed this game at about half its going rate and I would be able to resurrect the board with help from some new tools for old tech.

Get Lucky Twice!? - The War Gods Arcade HDD Problem
Переглядів 2,4 тис.Рік тому
Feeling confident after scoring a relatively cheap Killer Instinct arcade PCB, I decided to see what else I could find on the cheap. I came across Midway's War Gods, a one on one 3D fighting game that leaves a little to be desired. It was missing a hard drive but I figured that was no problem since I've dealt with replacing those before on arcade pcbs. Let's see how that assumption worked out. ...

The best game on the Taito Type X2, X3, X4 systems by far is The King Of Fighters XIII Climax. Probably the best fighting game of all time.
Do you mainly play shoot-‘em-ups? The Seimitsu LS-56 isn’t great for fighting games since it’s too stiff. Can you fit an LS-40 in there without having to modify the wires and connections like with a Sanwa?
Felicitaciones sr. Saludos desde Argentina ❤
3:55 are these mechanical buttons?
I might get one of these just so i dont have to use the proprietary sony av cable
Just got this, the only bad part is the Start and Select font.
before DVD, the 3DO and Phillips CDI get that MPEG 1 earlyier, i got this on my sega Saturn, but the format was niche, it never realy take off in Europe, because it was kind of a lofi digital version of a laserdisc on CD the quality was less good than a VHS but not so bad especialy for adding FMV on game it was premium digital video format before MPEG 2 and DVD came...
Did you ever finish your Terminator 2?
Sort of! It needs a backdoor. I actually just had to steal the K7400 monitor chassis out of it this week. I’m going to replace the tube (which has a huge Batman Forever logo burned into it) and put a K7000 in it.
@@ScarletSprites I’m in the process of restoring one now. It’s a lot of game. Just finished laminating the front, two sides, and control panel. Today I did some final paint work on a few spots. Would love to see a video of your progress. They are tough to restore.
@@adrianplaythroughs3514It’s a large machine for sure. It was a real pain getting the rest of the vinyl off of the front of mine. Huge pain really. The side art was practically dry rotted but the front panel was glued and just adhered differently for whatever reason. The guns are a bit of a pain to disassemble and service too. Actually, it’s putting them back together that sucks.
@@ScarletSprites yup, the front was bad. Some of my vinyl was so stuck on the front it tore a little of the wood. After Bondo and sand at 220, surrounding areas started to tear it up too. It was a mess. Threw a lot of Bondo on the front so I ended up laminating it. I don’t know what is with these T2 cabs. It’s nearly impossible to find a really nice one. I feel like operators just let them sit wherever when they stopped working.
Vcd players are my childhood, i remember my brother got home from school and brought a vcd movie days after its release called shaolin soccer.
Does anyone know where the bios that allows any video card to be used? The only link I could find has a dead google drive link. 😢
I was lucky enough to play a Virtua Fighter 3 deluxe cabinet in 2011.
There’s tons of room on the inside to run a jammer switcher. how do you handle hooking up for the guns without doing it by hand? it’s going to be a pain ass. Always have to connect them every time you play a different game.
I did end up installing a Jamma switcher. Oddly, the only game it doesn’t work with is Site 4. For the guns, I have each board out to a single DB9. Both guns also go to a single DB9. So if you switch a game you just unplug and then replug. Everything is behind the coin door and accessible from the front of the machine.
Folk's were able to play the MVS ROM on MAME? Even following the protocol of adding the game on hash file, MAME can't recognize the game and while I can play it through command line just typing *mame neogeo xenocrisis* from my frontend, it never works unfortunately.
The official rom pack that you can buy from Bitmap Bureau contains several versions, including one for MAME. There are also files for Darksoft Multi, NeoSD, and MiSTer if I recall.
@@ScarletSprites I know, cause I got that official file, but MAME doesn't recognize it and neither the frontend will allow it to play directly, since MAME didn't get thr game on list after adding it to hash. The game only works through command line and that's really disappointing.
Oh I still have this VCD card for the PSX, and it also function as a GameShark. This is where I used to watch those xxx prated VCD. Prated VCD was the the thing in the Philippines back then. 😂
Haha, love this!
I love ur show big neo geo fan :)
Any progress on the NOS overlay application?
I was just thinking about that actually. I’ve been consumed with the Midway Skins I’ve been working on. I may get to that overlay at the end of summer though.
I like the simpsons teenage mutant ninja turtles and gi joe
I can see the Duramold thing with Die Hard's cab design, but my first thought was "candy cab, but in black".
Kinda sucks you need a receiver
Holy shit! You made a vid.
Dude! There is always more Neo Geo homebrew. Do you have all of these yet?
I talked about that a little during the Big Blue video where I sold KrautBuster to pay for the machine. I do really appreciate the efforts of the community, especially from the likes of BitMap Bureau. But collecting the newer games that weren’t part of the original lifespan of the system just doesn’t appeal to me in the same way that the OG carts do. I still like playing the new games though, but would prefer a rom for a Flashcart or to own on Steam or Switch.
now THAT's fucking cool man. VF is the GOAT! I have some VF content on my page if you're interested haha
3:43 y'know... I'm starting to wonder about that myself then again, it's not like going the TerraOnion route gets any better
thank you for the amazing video 🌹. my new mvs 2-slot need alot of work , there is sound but no picture at all , its look like the monitor not turned on ? where to order parts for this amazing neo geo , like "flyback" , i think i need new flyback. thank you so much sir .
You need to know which type of chassis you have. In my case it’s a common K7000. You can grab flybacks from a number of places, but I’d trust arcadepartsandrepair.com since he tests his inventory.
@@ScarletSprites great . thank you for the information🌹
@@ScarletSprites i cannot open the middle wooden board from the back of the cabinet? i just can remove the upper part and the down power supply wooden door, but i can see the sticker on the tube it show " Zenith" is this the chassis ? or the chassis mean the motherboard for the tube ? this cabinet cost me about 900$ and the condition is very very poor, it came with 2 mvs cart , (supersid kick, and the art of fighting) even i don't have the key to open the 2 front door , from where to buy the key by the way ? there is another lock for the marquee i cannot open anything on my poor 900$ big red . i guess its full of coins. i pied this much because i am very far from USA , and this one is the only one in my country and i don't know how it arrived ,it was for about 15 years turned off , sometimes i told myself what i have done ? for 900$ poor cabinet and not working its look like nightmare. i am new to arcade world , there is more arcade there i think they are very rare , one of the them is black and have "fire shark "game jamma when i saw from inside , and another one from atari "Guardians of the Hood " sticker original cabinet . and there is more wooden cabinet " HI-tech " from google they look like urban from late 80s???did you know anything about them are they rare .? how to contact you maybe they are treasure.
The VCD was the worst ever format. It was prone to lots of stutters and audio delays and had worse quality than a VHS. It should've been discontinued the moment DVDs were made available.
I always struggled with people saying it was superior to VHS. Maybe the audio was? Picture quality was often subject to macro blocking from the MPEG-1 compression, even on commercial releases.
We all were pirates back in the day. 😁
Played Virtua Fighter in college and all the releases subsequent to that. Did you ever notice that the picture of Akira below the monitor is that of an arab and not Akira himself? I always thought that was funny.
Yes, I’ve read a few things about that. Most say it was a last minute change to add Akira (as a Ryu lookalike type) into the game but the bezels had already gone to print.
Hi there I dont have user name and password enabled how can I enable it so that others can't access it
2009 prices. Well done, mate, but like poker, the odds were high. U could have had a 259 doller Frisby. 4/1 odds is quite risky imo. So u really did pay 1000 for it but 750 was intangible.
I'm all in when they get CPS3 working perfect. So I can have a perfect version of SF3S for my cewlix
So is it a supergun?
There are elements of it that behave that way, as a pass through.
We need an after 5 years of Arcade1up business video
Hah, that would be interesting. I think there are for sure things I didn’t expect (that I’m still shocked by today), but also things in this video that I don’t ever get credit for 😂.
@@ScarletSprites Yeah i think Arcade1up are doing extremely well, although i would agree with you in many points they improved a lot in the past years. And the most important one is that their machines indeed have a market and pave the way for others as well. (Irarcade, Nova blast, mini cabinets, MVSX etc).
KOTM definitely shouldn't even come close to a Bottom 5 list. You must have very peculiar standards.
The CPS1.5 boards are expensive. I bought mine from my friend, plus some other goodies like a Gamest mag, an SSF2 camera, and SF2 ornaments and a Tecmo Stackers PCB for $1000. Getting that for $500 and phoenixing it is a steal.
She seems like a very nice Person even to think about how the enemies in metal slug would feel burning :). Guess you can consider yourself a lucky guy!
Whens the next video bud?
Hopefully after the July 4th holiday. Thanks for asking.
I played Virtua fighter I and II on the arcade in college and elsewhere. Then I remember at Dave and Busters in Colorado there was a more modern virtua fitghter I think it was VF 3tb actually? this would have been between 2007-2009. It waa a larger arcade cabinet than the one for #1 and #2, do you happen to have any info on that arcade cabinet? i've never seen it anywhere else.
Can get big gauge extension Cable
What’s a good price for 2 player sport station cabinet? Thanks
This is an advertisment for why you shouldn't go for a full collection of anything, I love most of the consoles fighting games and as good as metal slug is I wouldn't be buying a copy let alone have a copy of King of Monsters. You my friend are clearly a masochist.
Metal Slug may have been the first MVS cart I ever bought. Nearly twenty years ago at this point.
-01- NeoTurf Master (of course 1st) -02- Shock Troopers 1 -03- Bust a Move Again -04- Wind Jammers or Battle Flip Shot -05- Magical Drop 3 or Money Idol -06- Any Metal Slug -07- KOF 2002 or Garou or ROTD -08- Super Side Kick 1 -09- Twinkle Star Sprites -10- League Bowling These are for me the best remembering experience in 2 players ever ...
The Worst NG Games for me : - 1 - Legend of Succes Joe - 2 - Top Player Golf - 3 - all the Majong games - 4 - All the Quiz games - 5 - Stake Winners i personnaly love SNK vs CAPCOM, i don"t understand your choice... seriously ! it's a really good fighting games with a lot of fighters, and it's very fun in 2 players mod !! for the other, it's difficult for me to believe you prefere play a Quiz games in japanese, or a Majong, or even a Top Player compare to a NeoTurf Master... my favorite game on the platforme.
I love SVC as well, but I know a lot of people don’t and criticize its short comings.
I always loved Sengoku. I would love to see another Senhoku sequel.
I just picked one up for $200 today! I’m excited!
I missed out on this one, but thinking about Final Vendetta for pre order. Are you grabbing this new one?
I’ll probably pay for the rom to load on the NeoSD. I have Vendetta for Switch and PC and can confirm it’s pretty great!
I snagged one of these last summer for $700 CAD. Needed a new ram prom chip and a monitor rebuild. Had to pay a friend $100 to help me drag it out of an old dudes basement. Damn near 400lbs! Artwork is totally faded on one side and minty on the other side. I’ve got it all working and cleaned up perfectly now, I intend to leave it as is. One of my favorite games and will never sell this one! Hope you have one by now!
Nice! I do. I found a beat NBA Jam cab and fully restored it to an Open Ice. New CP, art, marquee, burn free RCA TV tube, paint…the works basically. I just grabbed “NHL” screen printed buttons this week. I have Gretzky 3D, Hangtime, and NBA Jam TE inside on a switcher too.
Did you get anybody to redo the artwork
No, the artwork is in pretty great shape overall. No need to replace it on this one.
fzSftp started, protocol_version=11 open "pi**********" 22 "Could not connect to server" I could use some help please
I know this is a late comment from the last one I posted, but I forgot to give my answer on my most hated Neo•Geo game that still got decent reactions: Double Dragon! Because I'm a fan of the originals, and SNK turned it into just another random Street Fighter II clone that makes the franchise lose its charm, style, personality, originality and uniqueness. What makes it worse is that it was inspired by the live-action flop. SNK should've just rebooted the original Double Dragon trilogy onto the Neo•Geo, and add in a versus mode that plays similarly to Aggressors of Dark Kombat.
I often think about this too. How great it would have been to have had a DD beat em up on the Neo Geo. Ugh, what a missed opportunity.
This is still valid?? Getting the rom in this way?? Because I'm looking for this game atm
