The best would be the exa system downloading them and updating itself right?

Right you’re talking about the paid major updates

For in version updates it’s been network only

Obviously mate you have a lot of pain with physical updates maybe one day they get it sorted
February 8, 2026 at 2:05 AM
3 weeks is ridiculous

Never had it take that long myself and I live in a country without a service center
February 8, 2026 at 1:56 AM
Mate I’m sorry you’re feeling this way but I have never received a patch for those 3 Japanese companies in the mail

They are all online. Only Sega UK games have had USB updates
February 8, 2026 at 1:54 AM
Mate having actually cracked systems that you play on myself the underlying mechanisms allowing USB or network updates to content is a humongous attack vector
February 8, 2026 at 1:51 AM
Having been through the update process before with me mates it’s more a week to 10 days international and a week or less domestic
February 8, 2026 at 1:48 AM
And every other vendor who does this has had their games hacked and leaked for ages as you very well know being in the scene

I believe eXa is the only company that has not been hacked at all
February 8, 2026 at 1:47 AM
Mate that is hardly true

Having recently gone to Osaka for a work trip you see the OG arcades running these versions for all of their tournaments

Anyone who has played Breakers Revenge Chicago or Daemon Bride Exagain will tell you otherwise
February 8, 2026 at 1:45 AM
Mate the thing is that selling on Steam or console is not as rosy as you think

The recent Daemon Bride port has rollback and a heap of bugs to be fair only sold a few thousand copies

Team Arcana now seems like they are not paying the programmer because of poor sales and pausing updates

It’s an offline system with no network fees

You send your carts not the system for game updates

How else would it work being offline?
February 8, 2026 at 1:30 AM
It’s a 6 or 8 button game you can change in the settings

For cabs that do not have 8 buttons there is a 6 button option

Double tapping still dashes

Different port developers so I would not expect anything mate

Spreading misinformation is something that is entirely wrong

Opinions are fine to have though mate

We all have one for sure but it’s not up to them if say someone like Sunsoft does not offer a console license

You should be asking Sunsoft why they are gatekeeping
January 20, 2026 at 3:58 AM
Mate how do they hold it hostage when they developed it?

Is have asked them before and they said they do not have the license to sell it outside of the arcade
January 20, 2026 at 3:13 AM
Mate this is like saying free Mario from Nintendo

exa developed Chicago and others
January 20, 2026 at 3:12 AM
Mate that’s wrong

They often are working with original staff on these updates like they have the ex-Examu designers who work at exa on Arcana Heart and Daemon Bride or with Air Gallet and Joker Jun
January 20, 2026 at 3:11 AM
You should reach out to eXA and cover the many anime fighters they keep announcing and releasing
January 14, 2026 at 7:07 AM
He’s got a day job

This port is something he does on the side
January 10, 2026 at 6:26 AM
They only make arcade games
December 30, 2025 at 2:35 AM
eXa is the reason why the new chaos code was made mate

They brought it back from being canceled
