that's the same thing Mark from retrocore channel said, he was using a beefier power supply so I guess the Astro Mini 2 underclocks when there's not enough current with the power supply, I don't get why more and more companies are not including a proper power supply since this kind of issues can ruin their launch.

I ordered all 3, Astro City Mini, Egret II mini and ACM V over the course of a couple of weeks when I was al little drunk. No regrets, but I don't really buy much "collectibles". I've always wanted to play my full sized astro city on the porch on summer nights. That's what I've been doing with these. Glad Sega got the full sized screen with the V. I'm actually trying to track it down, maybe it can be bodged into the original ACM. That'd almost certainly need the firmware to be modified but who knows. Really would like more games for the Egret II though. It'd be nice if Taito got the rights and released cards with Namco, Konami, maybe Data East and Irem, collections. Or that supposed hack that was announced 4 months ago surfaces...

hard to believe a power supply could affect input latency. If the a power supply isnt rated for enough amps then it just wont turn on. You mentioned you changed power supply when hooking up the hdmi output. That makes more sense. Did you test the same power supply that had latency with just the console itself to verify the latency was power supply related? Upscaling the console to a larger screen with the HDMI out sounds like the source of the problem. This can be replicated with any console using a cheap hdmi upscaler from amazon.

Leaving aside the lag issues and whether or not this is a good value, though I'm glad there is a retro-game market generally speaking, I wanted to specifically highlight V-V(vee-five)/Grind Stormer, and Dogyuun. I love those games and that period of Toaplan in general when their games got even better looking but before they went more towards bullet-hell concepts. For me, Grind Stormer is my sweet spot of being old school with lots of bullets, but not too many. There are gameplay differences between V-V and Grind Stormer despite being mostly the same. V-V uses the Gradius power-up system, while Grind Stormer uses the more traditional item pickups and gives you bombs. I prefer Grind Stormer because V-V requires more skill. I like bombs. I also like playing the whole game with the main gun fully concentrated forward. I don't really use it as a spread shot. The game seems to reward firepower over a spread. Dogyuun may have the nicest presentation of all the Toaplan games, though Truxton 2 is close. Dogyuun's visuals and sound are wonderful. Its weapon system makes it a bit more cerebral, I think. While not easy games, Grind Stormer and Dogyuun are much less brutal than either of the Truxton games, which I do like, and I can play them to completion, and is probably why I like them so much.

The thing with youtube is the attention span of the majority or interest in the topic, people fade off and it hurts your channel the longer a video is if the watch time dips. So sure i could show each game, but id have had to script the video instead of just live reacting to trying it out for the first time. I dont do videos like this ones format too often anymore because I do like to cover as much info as possible in a shorter amount of time, but just didnt want to have this video go one for too long.. i tried already cutting it down as much as I could and actually cut a few games I played. I wish it wasnt the case but being punished by KZitems algorithm for longer videos kind of sucks, but I do tend to do follow ups to provide more info or expand on what I have looked at in other videos... So for sure can do a follow up checking out more of the games.

Behind the scenes there is a contractor called ZUIKI who was in charge of both the Astro City Mini and the Egret II mini motherboards. Its almost using the same components as well and the EGRET II got both the USB-C an SD card slot and a rotative bigger screen for a cheaper price. It makes SEGA looks incredibly greedy in comparison even more since the mini V came after the egret ii mini.
