The Way To Do It

Lately, I got the latest mame32fx (0.97) and with it the complete set of roms available (12gig of 5800+ roms). I found out that there were lots of new games that didn't work before, including the excellent raiden series. Anyhow, I realised that if I tilted my monitor 90 degrees, I could get a great view of vertical scrolling shmups... then I thought I need an arcade stick for all this. Already having an xbox one, I just bought a cheap xbox2usb convertor, and hey presto! I'm playing some great classics on a vertical monitor with an arcade controller. It really is great fun, and these games are really frantic and pump your adrenaline!
X-Arcade it ain't (I'm not paying 100 bucks for a joystick), but it sure beats keyboard/mouse.

And I go off to nights today, starting today 9pm. So I guess I'll be MIA till next week. Have fun everyone...
