You won't have to futz with trying to hack together a kick-harness either.

Then post back here about wtb another cab hahaha

Oh and re input delay, its a non issue. Yes on third strike I have seen frame skip on the pb3, but I hear it's smoother on the new pb4/4s. It's less an issue if you are using a crt.

then we will have to help with Chinese jamma. Lol

Yah and lets be honest, getting a "dedicated" is just another way of saying you prefer monogamy. :wink:

My 3-Koam Z-Back is set-up with fairly easy-switch SF2:HF and Blue Elf 2. Fighting games have 30 fps lag on the Blue Elf. :(

Appreciate the dedicated HF but I'll improve the multi-game set-up ... one day. Thinking RetroPie.

If I am seeing things correctly, did you double harness the entire cp?

If so, that's friggin brilliant.

Yah I heard a lot of bad press about the earlier elf series multicarts, but on the positive side, the newer carts have been much improved that 60fps is displayed on all cps2 and lower titles.!

Does the RetroPie not have any 30fps lag?

Sure it may have run the program, but how did it play? Was the input laggy? I'd be surprised to hear that even the newest Pi-3 could run CPS3 well enough for competitive play.

I agree with everyone the HS5 is a beautiful cab, if you pick something up and need some repair (cabinet wise or wiring) give me a shout, I just got a new router for Christmas and it needs to start making some cabinet parts!

I actually like the look of the HS-5 so much that my original "big picture idea" for a basement arcade when I started collecting was to have a row of HS-5s, each with a different game/marquee, lined up along the wall in my rec room.......
