Man, these tips are retarded. Holy cow!

Ordered from the UK? There are a number of US sellers for arcade joysticks and buttons. If you can't find them on google, you didn't look very hard.

Spice says:

Gunner R.A. says:

I think this will get more popular when Ready Player One comes out next year.

Ibob says:

Saugat Manandhar says:

No reason to have the board attempt to do everything. Most you are going to need is enough buttons to play KoF and SF.

I do like the toggle 4-gate/8gate switch tho.

Did anyone else actually called that number like I did? 🤣

S Video is shit, RGB or gtfo.
Also you actually need a very powerful PC if you plan to keep up with the latest mame builds/romsets and if you plan on running fully cycle-accurate emulators like Higan for SNES for example.

Best video in months Linus. Keep posting vids like this and try to eliminate the modern "WOW" style ones. Thx
