The Miracle Piano Teaching System [with Foam Sustain Pedal] (AMIGIA/MAC/PC)

Note: The Miracle Piano is awesome. Not only is it a controller that you can use to play various Piano games with, but it is also a fully functional Piano. Really nice sound and you can tell it's built to last. I was so amazed how big it was when I received it. I think it must be one of my best buys. I got an almost complete package - all its missing is its headphones. Also got some conversion kits with it, hence why it works on multiple platforms.


More photos of my controllers coming soon. Will most likely photograph my Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Controllers next. And some Keyboard Controllers.

Any of you guys interested in seeing Zboard Keysets? I have an almost complete Zboard collection.

And NeoTechni, I read your review on the CTA Assault Rifle. I just wanted to ask, since you say its pretty cheap feeling. Do you feel it was worth what you paid for it? Did you get your moneys worth as a collector? I just saw one of these in a shop here in Australia and just wondered if it was worth it at this time to pay full price for it?

Considering I'll never use it, I wouldn't say so...

Where did you get the keyboard and how much did you pay for it?

Where did you get the keyboard and how much did you pay for it?


I bought the Miracle Piano on eBay Australia. I paid AUD$91.00 for it, which is about USD$88.00. I got it pretty cheap considering how rare the Amiga/DOS/MAC version is. If you do a search for Miracle Piano on eBay.com you will find heaps listed, but they will most likely be the NES Version. Its more common.

I got it cheap because the seller listed it here in Australia to Australia only as well as he listed it in the Pianos & Electronic Keyboards Category instead of Video Games category. He also put Pick up only on it. I managed after a lot of begging, to get him to post, but I paid a lot on postage, because the Miracle Piano is big and heavy. If you are going to buy one, would be advised if you can, to get it from your own country.

If you buy the NES version, you can easily get it to work on PC - all you need to do is buy a MIDI to USB Cable. The keyboard has MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports on the back of it. For the other platforms you can get Conversion cables, which are hard to find.

The price of the Keyboard varies though, depending on the condition. Make sure if you are buying one, it has the power adapter, connection cable and Foam Sustain Pedal, the box would be good too. These just make it more valuable, and the power adapter is of course essential if you want to use it.

Overall though, Awesome Keyboard. If you do buy one, you won't be sorry you did.

I have the Dance Summit 2001 controller. I bought it complete for 100 yen at a recycle shop. For that price I thought "Ah, what the hell, why not" I used it to play Punch Out on an NES emulator. Shit was funny.

Here are some more photos - also includes some controllers I have just gotten.

But First my Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Controllers...

Image

Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Edition Arcade Stick (PS2/Xbox)


Image

Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Controllers (All 7 of the wired versions); Akuma Edition (PS2), Chun-Li Edition (PS2), Ken Edition (PS2), Ryu Edition (PS2), Bison Edition (Xbox), Akuma Edition (Xbox), Guile Edition (Xbox)

Note: As you can see I have (as far as I know) all the wired Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Edition Controllers. There were suppose to be 4 Wireless ones as well (All for PS2) - does anyone know if the wireless ones were ever released? I've never seen an actual photo of them, only stock images... So just wondered.


Image

Sammy keyboard Controller (GC), Logitech NetPlay Controller (PS2), Star Trek: The Next Generations Keyboard (PC), Saitek PC Dash (w/ game insert sheets) (PC), Ergodex DX1 Programmable Pad (with 50 Keys) (PC)

Note: The Ergodex DX1 is cool - you can rearrange the keys anywhere on the surface. They are sticky underneath, so can be arranged in any pattern or you can just put some on. You don't have to stick all the keys on at once. Really nice if you want to set up some custom macros and a custom key layout for a game you are playing.


Image

ASCII Mission Stick (DC), Densha De Go Controller (PS1), Blaze Pro Racing Grip (PS1), Scene It! Controllers (Xbox 360), Jog Motion Controller (PS2/PS3), Air racer (PS1/N64), 2x Sega Mega Drive Controllers (with different colored start buttons) (Mega Drive), PS Sakkara AI Racing controller (PS1), Gamester/Lotus Pro Racer 2 (PS2)

Image

Star wars Sith Darth Vader 2 in 1 Starter Kit (Controller & DVD Remote) (PS2), G-Mate The Firedrake Gun [Motion Sensing Super PC Game Gun] (PC), WWE Smackdown vs Raw Controller (PS2)


This is all I've done for now - I've still got quite a bit to photograph; and I also have a whole lot of new controllers coming in the mail, so still lots more to come...

Damn you for having that (and the Cubeboard.)

I'm trying to get the MAG wireless off those guys ATM.
Though it's difficult getting non-existent controllers...
