I already watched some Robotron.... there's just something about that game. it takes a certain kind of skill to be great at that game. I especially liked the multi-camera angles. How do you get the video piped straight into Twitch when using an arcade monitor? The video of the gameplay looks great.

So my Robotron cabaret is running a JROK Multi-williams PCB. It's JAMMA. I've got a wiring harness that converts a Williams cabinet into JAMMA without destroying the original wiring.

Connected to the JROK I'm using a device called the Splitfire, made by a guy in the Bay Area named Mike Moffett, who's a prominent figure in the mod and hobby hardware scene.


Great device. It takes the Video and outputs it via a DB15 connector (VGA Cable), and the audio is amplified to stereo and pumped out separately via SPDIF.  The A/V feed is then pumped into my capture card, which is a Datapath Vision E1S, known for being a great card for compatibility for older device resolutions.  I just make sure the correct resolution is configured to upscale.  In Robotron's case the real resolution (not the one MAME reports, which is incorrect) is 304x256.  I integer scaled it 4x to fill up the side of the screen, and with no image scale filtering the pixels are maintained crisp and clean.

This is then being all controlled by a software called Streamlabs OBS, which connects live to Twitch.  Streamlabs has a bunch of controls for setting up different scenes with different input media devices like mics, cameras, desktop capture, image/video file display...etc.  It handles scene transitions, data feeds like comments being made, or following/subscribing updates. Lots of cool bells and whistles.

I was wondering how you were getting those beautiful video feeds.

I swapped out the Sanwa JLF’s for Seimitsu LS-58’s, added extended shafts, and a short throw mod (plexi spacers) to them and now the controls feel much better.





I could only order 2 extended shafts for the Seimitsu’s before Focus Attack was out of stock. But I plan on picking up a couple more of them later and doing the same for P2’s side. For now I’ll leave them as Sanwas with bat-tops.

Well that was a fun stream. I credit fed Smash TV and finished the game in about just over an hour. The game is tough, I can't see myself trying to 1cc it though. It's not as "tight" as Robotron, there's some questionable ambiguous hitbox issues, especially when it gets to being killed by the grunt characters. But overall the game is a gem!

Tomorrow I'm going to hook up the NES to my cabinet and play through some of the shmups on that system. Looking forward to some Gradius 2, Salamander, Gyruss (the NES version is very different), Over Horizon, Recca... there's a lot of good shmups on the system that work well in an arcade set-up.
I'll probably start the stream around 2pm and go for an hour or so. Come hang out if you guys have nothing else better to do :lol
