RetroTINK 4K RoTATE Feature for Vertical Arcade Games! Scarlet Sprites 2023-12-12 | Think of this as a quick addendum to the last video. I wanted to show the RetroTINK 4K's ability to scale and rotate vertical arcade games so they can be played properly on a monitor. The feature is still considered in Beta phase so please consider that when using.1. The setting is found under the "Scaling/Crop Setup" Menu under "Input Crop"2. You may need to adjust your frame decimation settings if receiving a "Check Sample Rate" message. I'm using component video so I navigated to the "RGB/Component ADC Setup" menu and changed my Decimation Factor to 2.2. RoTATE only works with 240p, 288p and 360p inputs.EMAIL:ScarletSprites@gmail.comSUBSCRIBE:tinyurl.com/ScarletSubINSTAGRAM:instagram.com/scarletspritesFACEBOOK:facebook.com/ScarletSpritesTWITTER:twitter.com/ScarletSpritesTAGS:#ScarletSprites, #retrotink #retrotink4k #arcade #arcadegames

Get Lucky Twice!? - The War Gods Arcade HDD Problem Scarlet Sprites 2022-10-06 | Feeling confident after scoring a relatively cheap Killer Instinct arcade PCB, I decided to see what else I could find on the cheap. I came across Midway's War Gods, a one on one 3D fighting game that leaves a little to be desired. It was missing a hard drive but I figured that was no problem since I've dealt with replacing those before on arcade pcbs.

GI Joe Arcade Machine - Revved Up Restore! Scarlet Sprites 2021-11-05 | Well here it is, the single speaker Konami arcade cabinet that spent it's life as an X-Men, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and then Fisherman's Bait has finally had its dignity restored. I spent a few weeks working on this over the summer and it's finally completed. A lot has happened here and I'll inevitably forget some details but I'll offer some highlights. The entire cabinet was stripped, sanded and cleaned. Bondo was used to fill holes and the cabinet was sanded and repainted. The CRT was pulled, cleaned, and washed. The monitor chassis was cleaned recapped and given a new flyback. The sides of the cabinet were laminated and given new artwork. The entire control panel was replaced and I added in Wico reproduction sticks and Rollie Leaf switch buttons. Since the game has no freeplay mode I added credit buttons for each of the four players in the coin returns (no drilling or irreversible damage to any parts). The game operates fully off of orginal hardware with GI Joe, Simpsons, TMNT, and Sunsetriders boards installed. No software emulation to be found anywhere, this is the real deal.

Smash TV Arcade Machine Comes Home! Scarlet Sprites 2021-08-31 | Is this maybe the last great twin stick arcade game? Smash TV was a success when it hit arcades in 1990. Crafted by legendary talents Eugene Jarvis and Mark Turmell, it serves as a pseudo sequel to Jarvis's earlier Robotron title from 1982. Smash TV dished up a lot of violence and multiplayer mayhem for its day and was eventually ported to Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and somewhat surprisingly the NES. While the ports were fantastic at the time I've often thought it would be amazing to have Midway's twin stick shooter in all its original arcade machine glory in my basement arcade.

Neo Geos Kraut Buster - Is It Worth Buying New Games for Old Hardware? Scarlet Sprites 2021-08-09 | NG Dev's latest Neo Geo game Kraut Buster is an interesting homage to Metal Slug, but it's a pricey one. With recent offerings beginning to find their way to the Nintendo Switch I question whether it is worth it to continue buying expensive new games made for old hardware.EMAIL: ScarletSprites@gmail.com SUBSCRIBE: tinyurl.com/ScarletSub INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/scarletsprites FACEBOOK: facebook.com/ScarletSprites TWITTER: twitter.com/ScarletSprites TAGS: #ScarletSprites, #NeoGeo, #KrautBuster, #NGDev, #NintendoSwitch, #Nintendo, #Switch, #IndieGames, #Capcom,
GI Joe Arcade Machine Update! Scarlet Sprites 2021-07-31 | This single speaker Konami arcade machine came to me as a somewhat rough Fisherman's Bait conversion. I've spent some of my free time this summer working to convert it back to a somewhat underrated Konami four player title, GI Joe. We'll take a look at the control panel featuring some Wico reproduction arcade stick, leaf switches, how to laminate an arcade machine, and a sneak preview of the GI Joe side art to come.Szabo's Arcades:youtu.be/7mfy9D5KcDoThe Rexer Show:youtu.be/hUMhlltH0CsWilsonart Laminate:tinyurl.com/arcadelaminateEMAIL: ScarletSprites@gmail.com SUBSCRIBE: tinyurl.com/ScarletSub INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/scarletsprites FACEBOOK: facebook.com/ScarletSprites TWITTER: twitter.com/ScarletSprites TAGS: #ScarletSprites, #GIJoe, #Konami, #Arcade, #ArcadeGames,
Arcade1Up Terminator 2 vs. Original Cabinet Scarlet Sprites 2021-07-24 | Big kudos to @MichaelBtheGameGenie for posting his video and calling attention to the Arcade1Up Terminator 2 leak. Looking at the mock up pictures of the Arcade1Up cabinet I noticed a subtlety that may be interesting to a few people from a gameplay perspective. Let's go ahead and take a quick unscripted look at what we know so far and compare it to an original cabinet. We'll wrap things up by taking a look at how to emulate the game in MAME.

X-Men Arcade: Arcade1Up, OG Hardware, & How to Emulate Scarlet Sprites 2021-07-22 | Like many of you I was a big Konami arcade game fan back in the 90s. Seeing the X-Men comic come to life as a video game was dazzling back in that time. Arcade1Up is definitely hoping you remember those days fondly enough to drop some serious cash on their new 4P X-Men cabinet. Today was some off the cuff musings about the Arcade1Up machine, original Konami hardware, and how you can emulate the X-Men arcade game in MAME to play at home for a little less than $700.MAME:mamedev.orgArchive.orgarchive.orgEMAIL: ScarletSprites@gmail.com SUBSCRIBE: tinyurl.com/ScarletSub INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/scarletsprites FACEBOOK: facebook.com/ScarletSprites TWITTER: twitter.com/ScarletSprites TAGS: #ScarletSprites, #Arcade1Up, #XMen, #Konami, #Arcade, #ArcadeGame, #ArcadeGames,
