Yeah, sure, some people cared. I knew many.
But it didn't really matter that much.
Until the athlon practically nothing ever actually died from heat.
People did spend a lot of time and effort lapping chips to the copper, strapping absurd heatsinks and 9000rpm deltas.
In my experience the pay-off was negligible for the price.
A 300a that did 450 and not 504 wasn't going to get to 504 fully stable with lapping, a 2kg copper sink and a delta.
It sure would cost you though.

I got two things actually not long ago , one was a six button capcom fighting stick for my sharp x68000 and the other was the capcom adaptor that you need to hook it up.

Usually the x68000 runs games in two button mode but some adaptors let you use three.

This one however lets you use the 6 button official fighting stick with select games or a 6 button genesis controller via the extra port on the adaptor.

I've been using it with Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition and Super Street Fighter 2,
and it helps every bit considering playing a fighting game with only two buttons is a bit rough ,
but its taken a bit of getting used to since I haven't really played fighting games on the regular with a proper stick before.

There is always a threshold crossing the 30fps line or 100 fps line that might need only a marginal overlock.

Nice setup 🙂. So, are there any other devices which are compatible with this stick?

I just remembered, peltier coolers were all the rage and you could absolutely kill a chip with one of those. Fun times 😉
