Hey folks, did some searching but I didn't see much.. I'm surprised there isn't a bit more chatter with these things.
The RepliCade machines are mini-arcade replicas at 1/6th scale and are about 12 inches tall. Here is the website: https://newwavetoys.com/
Per their own description: "The Replicade runs a closed system that boots directly into the Rom." And they are officially licensed roms from the license holders.
I have all 3 of their currently released machines: Centipede, Tempest, and Street Fighter II. They've had a few bumps but in my opinion are pretty solid machines. I do know they can interface with PCs over USB as they are capable of firmware updates, but I certainly don't have any skill or knowledge beyond that.
Was hoping there's some other folks out there that might have been trying to dig a little further into these machines? Or maybe they already have and I haven't been looking in the right spot.
There's also a similar release going on over here:
http://www.numskull.com/quarter-arcades/
These are larger but mostly the same deal. So, same question for these machines I guess.
Anyone?
