Being played in Teknoparrot 1.64 (there's newer version than this out now, but I haven't bothered updating in awhile). The arcade version of Mach Storm uses a special cabinet called P.O.D. (Panaromic Optical Display) to display the picture on a big domed screen (just like Star Wars Battlepod), which is why the image here looks kind of warped and unusual, when displayed on my normal 16:9 monitor. I've never played this game in the arcade, but I have played Star Wars Battlepod and really enjoyed it (although at £2 a pop for what amounts to a few minutes gameplay, it is a bit like daylight robbery). Apparently a PSVR Ace combat game is in the works over at Namco HQ, and as an owner of one of the headsets now I'd definitely be interested in giving that a try. I've upscaled the original 1080p footage into 4K before uploading, purely to benefit from whatever cybermagic 4K YouTube uploads get which seems to stop them from becoming so compressed and pixelated looking after processing (I believe it's to do with the VP9 codec 4K uploads automatically get assigned) compared with how they look if I try and upload a 1080p video. I'm not really intending that this should be watched in 4K, it's just uploaded like this to get a better quality of 1080 and 720p playback.
