Currently I have the namco arcade stick for ps1.

Lovely bit of kit, unfortunately its just the one

However I did see in town today the X-Arcade sticks for £59.99

What u guys think good price?

Or am I better off just grabbin another namco one ?

I could get an X-arcade from a store for £49.99 (second hand i think) but in excellent condition. should i get it?

If you're into MAME & arcade games, go for it.
£50 is a bargain, they usually go for a lot more.

but if the response time is crappy then theres no point, i might aswell stick with either a keyboard or my 2 ps2 controllers

is the response time good or not? if its not then theres no point me wasting wither 40 or 50 quid

ZXSpectrum · 16 Jan 2006 at 16:49

is that the double player or just the single player version?

I cant say I noticed any delay, I've been playing on it nearly everyday. None of my friends have commented on any kind of delay either.

The on TK MAxx had were the full size 2 player ones,

Thats where I saw them too... then they reduced em :eek:

I've a ps2 adapter on the way so will be using my namco arcade stick with my pc now

And we all know where he got the rough design and colour scheme for that.

Although saying that my graphics were inspired by a guy named Motofish, but at least I changed them somewhat.

Sorry for the bump but...
...a quick question to GSX:
Can I ask how you went about getting that control panel top sorted? I have been having a dig around as I am just about to embark on a cabinet build myself (pc sorted, monitor, wiring, buttons, sticks, minipac all on their way

) and see plenty of places in the USA to source Lexan and get the printing done, just not really sure where to get those bits done over here.
Any help would be appreciated.
