EX Board Info?

[Blaine]

Does anyone actually have some info on the EX Board? I've seen little bits and pieces here and there but nothing substantial.

[Blaine]

Here. I'll start.

"It plays the computer games".

Most info I know of is on these 2 sites

So far Arcana Hearts looks like that most impressive one for it. I mean... Daemon Bride and that Ancient Cline look like they're missing something. Trying too much to look like Blazblue, but I'll give it a try if one of the operators around here throws it in a cab.

Code: Select all

CPU      Fanless Via C7 NanoBGA2 
Chipset  Via CN700, VT8237R Plus 
Memory   1GByte DDR2 SDRAM（VRAM共用） 
Video    Integrated S3 UniChrome Pro AGP graphics 
         with MPEG-2 decoding acceleration

Going by the specs, this looks like a low market segment arcade kit. Certainly not something you could develop HD games on, with the integrated graphics and 2GB flash cartridges.

Via C7 is so underpowered its' pretty pathetic tbh.

It's a pitty as arcan heart was a tremendous game, but I doubt I'll get this ever:(

Considering AH really impressed me I've had surprisingly little interest in this. Maybe I'm a HD whore already

No your not Super. They just got lucky with AH, where did that development team go? Because I don't see the same
quality with the new fighting games for that EX Board.

[Blaine]

You gotta love the game cards though... look like GBA carts.
I'm kinda happy I'm not an HD whore yet, I just want the gameplay to be good and I'll be happy. There's a lot of parity in the views on AH2, I wonder if some of those other games can deliver.

The 'home version' does sound promising. I wonder if it'll be more CPS Changer than NeoGeo, though.

I was quoted ¥268.000 for an EX Board with Arcana Heart 2. Is it really worth that?

Maybe not. The rental plan sounds intresting i mean if you can rent it at 100GBP a month and its pulling in 170+GBP then i guess its worth it. I know the rental system is in japan but the number i just used were for example so dont even try to correct me

I mean its not PGM2 at its current sexy price

I´m sure you got offered the new version, called "Sugoi! Arcana Heart 2", which will be released by the end of october.

[Neo'nate]

whats PGM2's current sexy price?

[Jan]

ah , watch out what your buying . it seems the japanese version of the PGM2 is again a all-in-one pcb

That's a much more reasonable price. I'm not personally interested in buying though.

I think I will wait 5 years for it to hit $200 or lessand get one myself. Until then I am good playing home ports.

**** that I want the cart system for sure!

[kazuo]

(wiiiise fwom your gwaaaaave!)

Anyone pick up Arcana Heart 2 yet?

I'm considering it since it's not terribly expensive ($1500), then again I don't really want to spend $1500 on a game that won't make at least it's original value back on location.

Also, in case anyone knows... I am guessing this thing uses JVS, so to toss it into a JAMMA cab all I would need is a I/O converter (read: Capcom I/O)?

Considering the motherboard has a visible JAMMA edge I'd be very surprised if it required a JVS cabinet. It will require a VGA resolution monitor though...
