Quoted from geeteoh:

I use Audacity with a nicer USB microphone.

I came across your board due to my S&T for Embryon frying twice now and I'm fed up with it and am totally going to buy one of yours (probably before you even read this).

I do have a question about how you're capturing existing audio. Why not just capture the sound right from the audio output directly from your testing setup rather than the speaker and microphone technique (which are both coloring the actual sound the card is producing)? I should note I have a background in audio engineering, so I think of things like this. In no way could I make what you make

Anyway, thanks for what you do, you'll have my order soon!

Quoted from geeteoh:

not sure if I want a Paragon.

I have a really terrible desire to own all the Bally wide bodies, so it hurts my heart to hear you question Paragon that way

Really though, this is fantastic. I suppose I was jumping to conclusions assuming you hadn’t done this in the previous year that you’d posted, for that I apologize. This is a fantastic thing you’ve done here, and I greatly look forward to receiving the one I ordered last night.

For a while I desired to keep everything original, but that’s simply not gong to happen and I love being able to improve sound quality wherever possible.

Thanks again for all you do!!

Quoted from geeteoh:

Worried about trying to get it out of someone's basement and trying to haul it home. Or moving it around.

I get this completely! All of my games are in my basement currently and it’s a fun time getting them in and out.

That said, I just moved an Attack From Mars remake out and it was a way bigger hassle than Space Invaders was, but that’s due to the head coming off easily, so it weighs less overall than AFM. I had to take the head off of Embryon as well, but since it’s hinged it’s not nearly as easy to do as SI, so that was indeed a bit of a hassle.

I have a set of Pin Skates that I use to shuffle around the 10 or so machines I have down there, but I found out the hard way they don’t work on Bally wide bodies (they work just fine on Gottlieb wide bodies such as the James Bond I have down here)
