I mainly want it for fighters but im for sure getting giga wing 1 and 2. thanks for the pic but where is the ground point on the controller
Lots of ground points. All common. I'd say take one off where the cable is connected to the pcb. Should be a nice big solder point right there.
I'm sure it would. But why people do that instead of playing it on a TV like you're supposed to is something I don't think I'll ever understand.
For the arcade ports...
Anyways, let us see:
Naomi setup with Jamma IO: $200+ hard to find games.
Dreamcast with necessary conversion: $100 tops. Games are half the price. Or burn them yourself.
As for console style games, The DC was really lacking. The Resident Evil Games have been better done one other platforms. Other than that, what is left? Blue Stinger and Phantasy Star?????
But the Arcade ports (including driving games), OMG.
Yup , the dreamcast had some amazing arcade fighting ports as most of the dreamcast releases were Originaly released on arcade machines
Yep, the Dreamcast is a slightly chopped down Naomi. The Dreamcast games are the closest ports to the Naomi originals.
Also, after the demise of the dreamcast, Sammy bought out the DC parts inventory and used it to create the atomiswave system. I don't think that any atomiswave games were ported to the DC though.
What exactly is a fighting port (yes, I'm a noob)? I know where I can get a Dreamcast with two controllers and two games for $20. The price sounded good but I don't know anything about the Dreamcast. I heard the games are pretty expensive.
DC games aren't that expensive unless you are talking Japanese only Shumps from after the demise of the system. But just about anything can be downloaded and burnt. All of the games are much cheaper than the Naomi versions.
A port is when they take a game on one platform and convert it for another (as opposed to emulation). If a game is rebuilt from scratch, it is sometimes, called a port, sometimes not.
The most common ports are arcade games ported onto other system.
Ported fighting games are the most scrutinized because high level players notice (and often complain about) the slightest differences.
Dreamcast is best known for it's Naomi ports.
Capcom vs SNK (1+2)
Guilty Gear games
Marvel Vs Capcom2
It also had some good, but not perfect Neo-Geo and CPS ports.
Street Fighter III (double impact, 3s)
MOTW
Last Blade 1+2
King of Fighters 98-2002.
Marvel Vs Capcom
The Dreamcast version of Soul Calibur is also considered to be very good.
Note: Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the DC was based on the Naomi version, which was actually a port of the CPSII version. It isn't considered to be very good.
