Global VR...anybody tried one?
shardian:
I have checked out an Ultracade and a GAC in the last 2 weeks. The front end is identical, but the GAC had a much better selection of games. It also had the trackball. The GAC also lagged less than the ultracade, probably due to more powerful guts.
Either way, both of these machines has greatly increased my interest in the hyperspin front end.

It's impossible that GAC has a "better game selection" as Global VR only offers about 1/2 of the games that were offered on the UltraCade product. GAC is just UltraCade reskinned, and running on a P4 instead of a P3. That is why there is less lag on the display. GAC is a dead product as Global VR fired everyone involved with the product and has no plans on adding any new games to the product.
HyperSpin is a great front end and will improve over time.
shardian:
Well then the ultracade must have only had the 'crappy games', and the GAC must have only had the 'good games'. I didn't even recognize about half of the games on the ultracade. The GAC appeared to have mostly great games on it - it even had laserdisc games.
davidrfoley:
Must have been the specific machine that you saw. GAC ships with about 1/2 of the games that were available on the UltraCade platform including the laser disc games. UltraCade shipped with 86 games on the base pack, and then we sold upgrades packs to add on various different games. This was to keep the base kit price low because the licenses for some of the games was pretty expensive.

A local truckstop has one of these (set to freeplay, no less! ;D ), I couldn't figure out why they had Robotron set up the way it was. It had 2 sticks, but rather than using the right one to fire, you had to use the buttons.
