Wow, X arcade really does suck.

Hi guys. I  have to say that the x arcade really dose suck. I have used one eversince i built my cab a year or so ago. I always thought people were crazy when they said that it sucks. I heard about the mag sticks and decided a new control panel would be a good idea so i went ahead and bought a mag stick plus ,i pac and some happ buttons.

What an incredible difference ! First off my high scores have doubled. the happ buttons and mag stick are twice as responsive as the  x arcade parts. I couldn't believe how much of a difference they made.

The other thing is eversince i built my cab i have had some weird problems. Some times when i would try to scroll down a web page my browser would go nuts and move backwards through the sites i had already visited. Other times whenever i would click on something in a web site it would just keep bringing up new windows and then the scroll thing would start forcing me to restart. ( which wouldn't work halve the time) And now and then i would get no responce when i pushed a button wile playing a game  >:(

 I always thought these were spywere  problems or whatnot and didn't worry to much about it because i don't use my Mame PC on the internet often.  As soon as i ditched the x arcade parts all my troubles instantly vanished. I will never buy anything from x gaming again, Ultimarc all the way ! 8) 8) 8)
