I'm keeping all of my A'Can information documented, and rightly so. Eventually, as time allows, some sort of website / document / wiki / parchment will surface, and my painstaking research will then be released upon a world that could likely care less.
Hi I finally got some of the super a' can stuff and experienced hands on and played it on my commodore 1084 monitor ... Super a' can system i got it from GOATSTORE then got 5 games and a controller, ac adaptor and av cables from someone in Taiwan ... heres what I have and need so hopefully I can get some of the games I need or want thanks !! Puyo Puyo clone - F001 ( i can get it) Sango Fighter - F002 ( I need this one !!!) The Son of Evil - F003 ( I got it it looks pretty good but mine is cart only so i need the box and manual and tray but it ll probably be hard to find LOL) ( I paid $30) Sonic Flying Dragon (Speedy Dragon) - F004 ( I need this one ) !!!

I've got a spare copy of Sonic Flying Dragon if you're interested, cart only though I'm afraid (got a spare copy of CUG too, but it looks like you've got that). I'm also after Red Star, being the only one I need to complete the collection now. All of mine are boxed/mostly complete, with the exception of Dragon Force (cart only, weirdly shrinkwrapped?) and F005, Super Taiwanese Baseball League (cart only). Mr. Sound-About is definitely the most informed person here about the platform, I'm still looking forward to his document/wiki/whatever.
Isn't there 4 of you? I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to make a video of the system. Picturesa re all fine and well but nothing beats seeing stuff in motion.:nod: Yakumo
I'm also intrested in how it sounds. so if anyone would do a video capture, please don't forget audio :nod:
I'll be able to a direct capture at some point, but my DVR isn't with me at the moment so it won't be for a while.
will u accept such as mini dv video camera or should i use my radeon all in wonder on my pc ?? lemme know which you would like remember i have 5 games and 2 more games on its way !!! im sure sound-about is best to ask since he has all games hes lucky !!!! LOL ...
It's best to do a direct capture unless your camera can video a monitor without any scan lines or any noticeable difference plus can accept direct audio in over the cameras mic. I can't wait to see this in action ! Yakumo
If your Mini-DV has Composite or S-Video in then it'll probably be better quality than your All-in-Wonder.
Does anybody have a source for a controller and a game or two? I've got a console, but nothing else for it. I'd like to at least be able to tell that it works.
... The only video camera I currently own is built-into my Nokia 3230, so you can imagine the type of basement-bottom quality I'd get trying to record an A'Can video with it. HOWEVER! In case anyone is interested, I did sit down for a moment to record a few music clips from BOOMZOO (the sole saving grace from the miserable A'Can software library). The quality of these recordings may not be immaculate, but that's likely due to the fact that my television set's headphone jack only outputs to MONO - and because my computer is a useless heap of garbage. BOOMZOO has a very nice soundtrack overall, compared to the other A'Can games, whose music sounds like it was just generic MIDI files dumped directly into the A'Can sound system. If you're in any way curious about what this machine can be programmed to sound like, lend an ear to these three recordings: * Listen to the BOOMZOO title theme * Listen to the BOOMZOO stage 5 theme * Listen to the BOOMZOO boss battle theme The boss battle music is my favorite track from the entire game. The stage 5 theme isn't the best stage theme by far, but what can I say? I was in a hurry, and beggars can't be choosers.
Thanks so much for them recordings Mr. Sound-About. The A-can sounds sort of a cross between a SFC and PC Engine but that could be due to the recording quality. It can certainly produce some good orchestral sounds! Yakumo
I don't know where you get the PC-Engine idea from, but it does sound about MIDI/SNES-quality. If the instrument set is fixed, then it's like MIDI. If all the sounds/instruments can be changed, then it's like SNES. I got a real "MIDI" feeling from it, but the boss music is alright, anyway.
