Great video, thanks for sharing. One thing made me a bit sad though, where are the CRT's? Yeah, I know, modern times etc. ..... bla bla bla. I'm so happy with my two NAC's, they show at least some nice scanlines.    But I guess one day I will own a modern Japanese LCD cab, no doubt about it.

One comment to the candy cab haters here    In Asia they at least still have lots of arcades and gamers over there get to play all kind of old and new great games, IN ARCADES. Where here, in ancient Europe, but also in the USA, we who love this hobby, have mostly only memories of great times long gone by. And the few arcades which are still here (in Europe), are petetic and unworthy of the name. I envy the Japanese for having the opportunity to play games in a great setting.

I was thinking exactly the same thing while watching that video and I agree 100%
