Using the D-pad was of course ok, and to my surprise using the thumb stick to control Arkanoid worked very well.
The video was shot using a capture card together with the MCE2HDMI from Serdashop. Audio was captured using Epiphan VGA2USB LR together with MCE2HDMI from Serdashop. Audio is captured with Behringer UCA222 and Audacity.
If you hear some clicks from the adlib card in Bubble Bobble, its the same on other adlib cards, so the fault is in the game - i guess.
