This is the V3. I absolutely loved this one until I dropped it into water, hence getting a new one.

Just bought the arcade from Planet-M. But the power cord that came with it is so huge that it only fits in the big power sockets. (the ones used for A/Cs, washing machines etc.) Was it the same for the rest of you guys? I mean the x360 doesn't even need that much power. :roflroll:

I only got the composite cable with the arcade. Already have two HDMI cables as well. Is there any other way to connect it?

 

 

Nope. The simplest method is to buy a Component HD AV cable. Unless you have a receiver or are willing to splurge on one, that decodes audio over HDMI.

 

if you have HDMI why do you need to connect optical?

 

If his receiver can't do HDMI audio, he still has to use the optical out for 5.1 sound.

Noctis and others,

 

There is a $50 dongle available which will let you use HDMI and Optical out.

But if you'd rather spend your 50 bucks on more important things like weed or something, then get ready for some DIY (no soldering)

 

 

 

This video tells you to (literally!)hack the Component AV cable so that it allows both the Optical and HDMI cables to be used at the same time.
