After too many years I decided to splurge on an original NTSCJ #Dreamcast and #Ikaruga!
Was always annoyed that there's no official Ikaruga joystick so I made my own version(s)
Thanks @focusattack for the parts and @TreasureCoLtd for the game and, once again, the inspiration
Thanks to @powerfuran we can now watch the Ikaruga Arcade Easy World Record in better than ever quality on YouTube!
Enjoy player IIZ incredible skill, his chaining and dot eating patterns are a work of beauty. Truly a replay for the ages!

Virtua Stick Upgrade/Tribute
-Seimitsu LS-55 stick
-Sanwa OBSF buttons
-RP 2040 board
All from @arcadexpress
Original #Ikaruga artwork
Polycarbonate top panel hand cut by me
Kept all the turbo switches for that classic look.
My #Agetec Green Goblin tribute stick. I wanted to keep the green+grey look but also decided to put great Ikaruga art because why not. This is by @rogner5th and arguably the best fan art ever.
@seimitsuJOY hardware and Pico Fighting Board 👌
I have finished another couple of arcade stick mods. These are personal tributes to two legendary sticks that also happen to just be my favourites. I also wanted to try several vendors because why not, it's good to have choices. Pics to follow.
#Mayflash F500 Joystick upgrade (didn't really modify anything here). All #Sanwa parts from @SmallCab_net and classic art inspired by the iconic Astro City cab. Really nice result, perfect size and weight, swapping out the art and parts was so easy, plus my kids love it!
HRAP V Hayabusa equipped with a #Brook Zero-Pi, #Sanwa JLF joystick and a variety of Sanwa, #Seimitsu, and #Hori buttons. Really happy with this result and with the Vewlix style panel.
