- Picture quality is better than you'd expect and better than any other composite signal you've seen - I'll provide a photo to prove it (the blur on the main character and fish sprite are from them moving - should have paused it sorry).
- I can also play my real MVS carts and many other jamma based arcade PCB's with this setup, it's not Neo Geo exclusive.


Considering I used to build and sale the f*cking things, I can definitely confirm composite video is the worst you can use on any given encoder chip, be it Analog Device, Sony CX, or a no name.  Regardless of that, the lazy " leave everything exposed" approach is f*cking lazy and weak. The multi-boot cart too, I mean, you really might as well have just thrown together a tiny Shuttle pc with a Athlon XP and a Geforce 4 with s-video out and ran Nebula or Mame. You have already gone to great lengths to cheap out, might as well have done it right at any rate. And no, you are not gonna be playing any normal jamma boards until you wire up controls for them, so currently, no, you cant.

So we are clear on this, these are superguns:

Nope, it's the last home console one I need (want) to have a complete collection too!  There's also the versions for the Atari Jaguar, Lynx, Raiden DX for the PSX, and Super Raiden for the PCE-CD, but none of those interest me. :/

Kind of need to get a turbografx first, anyway. lol

Are you referring to the The Raiden Project or Raiden III here?  I'm not a huge Raiden fan, but I think the Raiden Project for the PS1 is pretty freakin' awesome (one of the first purchases I made when I got my PS1... and I've held onto it ever since). 

I haven't tried Raiden III yet.

I have The Raiden Project currently listed up for sale on ebay lol. I thought it was a great port of 1 and 2, but I don't mess with Ps1 anymore, only my son does and he doesn't care for shooters much.

You must hate Raiden II if you have no interest in Raiden DX. It has exclusive music tracks it is definitely worth getting

I'm referring to the Raiden Project.  I mainly got it for arcade perfection, but I found it to be slightly...I dunno...watered down, especially in the music department.  It was also ridiculously expensive; it was $45, but I got it at a local game store & with trade-ins, I only payed $28...still too much though.  I'm tempted to try to get (or make) a supergun so I can get the actual Raiden PCB, as I can't find an actual cabinet.

Nah, I don't hate it, it's just that the first Raiden made a bigger impression on me, and the arranged tracks on these other games just don't do it for me. :/  Once I get the turbo version, I'm set!

Super Raiden is worth owning just for the music.  It is uber-fantastic yo!
Also FM Towns Raiden is wonderful.

But why do you have genny Raiden Fraud and the uberstinky SNES densetsu in your collection, but don't want to deal with awesome Raiden DX or PCE Super Raiden? Did you even try one of these ever before?

Interesting.  I probably would not have picked it up for $45.  But I guess many shmups now sell for that much or more these days.  I got mine used for $22, which is still a little on the high end, imo.  I think there are way better (and cheaper) shooters for the pce, but, being where we are, I'm probably just preaching to the choir. ;)

I recently picked up a Gamestop "custom" Raiden 3 for PS2...i.e., no box, no instructions, just the disc. It was $5 and I've been not having luck finding it anywhere (plus I had an old gift card). I've been on a PS2 shooter kick and after mesing with Gigawing Generations, Sol Divide, Homura...I found that Raiden 3 was pretty good in comparison. I had Gradius, Mushi, DoDon already so it was next on the list. The ship is too slow and gameplay is meh, but I like the graphics and music, so worthy of a few bucks.

If you haven't played it already, try Castle Shikigami 2. It has one of the most entertaining localizations of anything ever.
