Hori Real Arcade Pro 2: SA (Special Addition) Reviewed!


Finally, the wait is over! Sorry for the delay, as we had to purchase a new camera during the review. Our Hori Real Arcade Pro 2: SA (Special Addition) review is comprised of 40 pictures (you read correctly) and a lengthy analysis on all aspects of this arcade stick. The Hori Real Arcade Pro 2: SA has been acclaimed to be maybe the best arcade stick ever made by Hori. It uses both Sanwa buttons and a Sanwa stick. If you are a fighting game fan or would love to bring the feel of the old arcades to your home, then this is a must read. We hope you enjoy reading the review!
Lastly, we want to thank Akihabarashop.jp one last time for the opportunity to review this product. It truly was a pleasure working with them.

Source Changes
-------------------------
Replaced kodb set with complete dump from known bootleg board (different gfx rom layout).
Added wofhfh bootleg from mame32plus.
Added SF2 Magic Turbo Delta bootleg as non-working. [David Haywood]
Added skeleton hikaru driver. [David Haywood, Guru]
Fixed possible 64-bit crash/hang with survival. [nuapete]
Driver's Eyes improvements: [Naibo]
- the communication work between CPU and 3D DSP should be limited to the master M68000, if the address mapping is done in the shared memory, master CPU would be disturbed by the slave one.
- DIP Switches
DIP3 ON for Screen on the left
DIP4 ON for Screen on the right
should not toggle on both
- The left, center and right screens have separate programs and boards, each would work independantly. About projection angles of left and right screen, the angle is correct on 'DRIVER'S EYES' title screen, however in the tracks of demo mode it doesn't seem correct.
- The game also features a pretty nice 2D sprite layer, which still doesn't show up yet. It is known that the CPU does constantly feed the 2D video memory some meaningful and logical data.
