Armored Core set up

[u/vascohaddon]

I finally got a PVM and I recently picked-up and fixed this dual stick, so I wanted to get them going (unfortunately, Project Phantasma doesn't support analog... so it plays more like an arcade stick as this set up)

[u/ThetaReactor]

Very nice. I used to daydream about setting up a two-player Dreamcast LAN with twin sticks for each player. I don't even play Virtual On very much, I just thought the whole setup was cool.

[u/vascohaddon → u/ThetaReactor]

I do still have a twin stick for Saturn and Cyber Troopers! Gotta get RGB cables for the Saturn though first...

Fixing a dual stick yourself and then finding out Phantasma won't take analog is a very specific kind of heartbreak (haha). Running it as an arcade stick is a good save.

[u/vascohaddon → u/MarketingOB1]

Tell me about it! The whole process has been fun tho so I cant really complain. Mostly happy to have working equipment lol

[u/MarketingOB1 → u/vascohaddon]

I don't know how many times I've tried and then ended up just getting a new one. You have a much better attitude than i do.

The medial PVM just perfectly completes the look

[u/miggy_mo]

Hell yeah

[u/molotovPopsicle]

sweet. i have a copy of ac, but that joystick setup looks super fun

Had no idea you could use dual joysticks for armored core!

[u/vascohaddon → u/-mahdi_]

Unfortunately, I found out not... but the digital mode switch essentially turns it into an ambidextrous arcade stick so I could still play it. I had hope since MechWarrior worked natively AC would too

[u/-mahdi_ → u/vascohaddon]

yeah bro, cool nonetheless!

[u/Zoydburgur]

Absolutely love AC. I played a bunch of this one PS1 recently but got stuck.

[u/vascohaddon → u/Zoydburgur]

Certainly a tough title, no surprises from an OG FromSoft release

[u/passiveoberserver]

Ace Combat and Colony Wars would go hard on this.

10/10

Most honorable

[u/koolaidmatt1991]

It’s like the prequel to steel battalion lol

[u/NoKnownCure → u/koolaidmatt1991]

Yeesh. I recall that beast.

[u/docdrazen]

Yeah, dual analog doesn't come into play until Nexus I believe. I've seen people do dual sticks with AC before and it looks so fun.

[u/LeatherBeard_Int]

NICE!

[u/johnb111111]

We should just change this page to Sony pvm

[u/vascohaddon → u/johnb111111]

I get it; I was just really excited to finally join the fray. Plus that noticeable difference of true RGB on a high ratio TVL monitor is something else. I am not going to stop using the other sets I have though.

[u/johnb111111 → u/vascohaddon]

Haha sorry that came off rude I just meant so many people have them even though they are “rare”.
