Personally I find most of the DC arcade ports of the 2D games to be rather terrible honestly.  Most have frigged up video.
This is the first time I've ever heard this.

?? Most of the capcom games don't support low-res RGB.  You have to use S-Video (lame) or VGA (upscaled garbage.)  VGA is great for games made for that resolution, but none of those old arcade games were meant for that.   Go play SF Zero 3 (Alpha 3) on Saturn, then play the DC version.  Saturn version looks way nicer.

Oh, so you were talking about the system's RGB capabilities. Because the general 2D performance of the console completely ruled.

Well yeah I said "frigged up video" didn't I? :P  The worst offender is probably Mars Matrix though.

I bet you could squeeze a Mini-cute in the bathroom or somewhere.  They are small machines but play real nice.

Wow, I had no idea those things existed. I want one! I wonder if it would be worth shipping one back to the states if I could get it cheap enough over here...

Mini-Cute cabs are highly sought after over here and a good condition one is worth about $1000. If you find one for a good price it would toallty be worth the shipping cost to return with it.

I'll definitely keep my eye out, but they seem pretty sought after over here too. Here's one that went for 63,800 yen recently, which is about $830. With shipping it would end up being well over $1000... Damn!
