I think there was already a topic about this several weeks back, but I can't find it anywhere, so I opened a new one .
I'm interested in buying a supergun. This one: http://www.arcadeheaven.co.uk/supergun.html
I don't know much about arcade stuff so I have a lot of questions. I hope someone here can answer those.
What's a good price for a supergun? If I buy this one with all neccesary trinkets It will get at a price of about $300. I've checked google for some others and they are all about the same price, but I've heard the most expensive part is the rgb>ntsc convertor. Since the supergun I intend to buy doesn't have this convertion and only outputs rgb (via scart) it might be a ripoff.
Wouldn't it be a LOT cheaper to build one myself? I'm not a very technical/electronical person, but if I can save 150 bucks it's worth a try.
I'm mainly interested in newer games. Titan, Naomi, model 1,2,3 etc. Will these play without problems on a supergun? How expensive are these? I would love to have a naomi board, but it's still rather recent and thus expensive.
How are the games compared to the console conversions? Is virtua fighter 4 arcade a lot better than virtua fighter 4 psx? and how about crazy taxi? etc. Is it worth the extra money? Of course I love the gimmick value of a supergun, but I hope it's a bit more than just that.
Can it damage my tv? I have a 73 cm 100hz flatscreen panasonic tv. I've read about arcade kabinets having several different types of monitors (medium resolution etc), will this be of any importance when connecting the supergun to my tv?
How is the general quality of superguns? I've read some bad stories about the MAS system.What's your (supergun owner) experience with this?
A lot of questions. I hope someone here can find the time to answer some of them.
