Commodore 64!

CrackTiger · 06/24/2013, 02:15 PM

Well, there's a Neo Geo cart there and what looks like an arcade board, I'm guessing a consolized CPS3?

PikachuWarrior · 06/24/2013, 02:20 PM

Neo Geo Pocket Color!

Duo_R · 06/24/2013, 02:21 PM

MotherGunner · 06/25/2013, 07:54 PM

Pretty awesome...sigh one day I will get me one.

Duo_R · 06/25/2013, 08:21 PM

I was at a local retro shop and casually mentioned I wanted a Neo someday. The guy goes in the back and brings out a 2 Slot and 2 games for 70 bucks!

I am using a custom cut clear plexi base, and the metal cover that will be powdercoated

Sounds like a good deal.

What games are you planning on getting??

Duo_R · 02/09/2014, 05:31 PM

ok - this project was on hold for a while, but it is officially moving forward next week. Everything works, the holes have been drilled out for all the jacks and the cover should go in the shop this week for powdercoating.

Here are some before pictures, I am leaning towards painting it Blue, but also thinking Red. Note - the Plexi still has a protection sheet on it still.

Nice i hope you put in a universe bios as it really opens up a neo-geo.

Duo_R · 02/10/2014, 09:58 AM

Yeah there's one in there

Duo_R · 02/10/2014, 03:17 PM

Ok time to make a decision on color, let me know what you guys think.

NecroPhile · 02/10/2014, 03:54 PM

Dark grey for me, but I'd go with a pure black scale (or lean towards blue) instead of that warm french grey.

PCEngineHell · 02/10/2014, 04:17 PM

Id only go with black or red myself.

PunkCryborg · 02/10/2014, 04:46 PM

Gotta go with red

Duo_R · 02/10/2014, 06:27 PM

latest concept

roflmao · 02/11/2014, 12:44 AM

Either charcoal or black/gold. Those are damn sexy!

TR0N · 02/11/2014, 02:47 AM

Red to match a arcade cab

pulstar · 02/11/2014, 08:22 AM

I'm kinda liking the Big Red theme you have going on there. That Black and Gold reminds me of Neo Geo X for some reason...the less said about that the better

Duo_R · 02/11/2014, 12:23 PM

Sanding the cover to prepare for paint tomorrow, got rid of the rust spots

Before

150 grit (doing finer grit later today)

bartre · 02/11/2014, 01:05 PM

CMVS systems are always fun, still need to put the finishing touches on my 1FZ model.
and somewhere around here i've got a MV-1B that i need to consolize, i've already got the stuff to do it.....

Duo_R · 02/11/2014, 01:46 PM

Yes it has been fun, I can now see why people charge so much for CMVS systems. Here is the latest art concept:

ToyMachine78 · 02/11/2014, 02:52 PM

I like the blue!

munchiaz · 02/12/2014, 11:06 AM

im digging the one with the white stripes on the left and the right, and the button layout above MVS

ToyMachine78 · 02/12/2014, 12:17 PM

How much to make me one?

Duo_R · 02/13/2014, 02:47 AM

ok dropped off at the shop today to be powdercoated, picking it up tomorrow!

Duo_R · 02/13/2014, 07:31 PM

ok, I went with red. Please don't tell me to paint it blue, or black.....etc. It's done! =)

Here it was prior to being powdercoated:

and then professionally powdercoated:

munchiaz · 02/14/2014, 01:09 PM

^looks great man. Can't wait to see it in action

roflmao · 02/15/2014, 09:43 PM

SEXAY!

Duo_R · 03/02/2015, 05:27 AM

Well took a long break from this, it was pretty much done but I upgraded the video encoder to a Neobitz and did a few final touches. It's almost done.

Huge thanks to Xian Xi from Jamma Nation X, could not have done this without his help!

poponon · 03/02/2015, 10:39 AM

Man I gotta stop coming to this jelly-fuel thread. Supergun is looking real nice, what games do you have for it so far?

Duo_R · 03/02/2015, 11:24 AM

I got Sam Show 1&2, Last Blade 1&2, Super Side Kicks 3, Fatal Fury Special and Real Bout Fatal Fury, and a few others and a 161 in 1.

esadajr · 03/02/2015, 02:26 PM

Coming from you I know it's nothing but great quality fueled by a labor of love.
Can't wait to see the final product.

Duo_R · 03/02/2015, 02:34 PM

Thanks that means a lot! I have really taken my time with this one to get it the way I wanted. :-)

If only there was a flash cart. It is PC / ogXbox for me.

SignOfZeta · 03/05/2015, 11:53 AM

These days collecting MVS is significantly cheaper than collecting TG-16.

Which is ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccxxxxtttt.

I have a CMVS based on this same board, construction is very similar. I also have the NeoBitz component encoder, personally, with my TVs, the s-video looks no worse. I guess a lot of TVs don't have s-video anymore so that would be the main reason to use the more expensive board.

Even though I have to reseat the cart a dozen times to get it to register, I still love this machine so much. I usually leave Metal Slug 3 in there along with either KOR2003, Rage or Dragons, or Super Baseball 2020. Neo Geo games had to be designed to be a hit at home AND the arcade, same ROM, so tricking people with box art or licenses didn't work. If a game wasn't fun everyone would know it wasn't fun because they could see in in any arcade. This lead to very high quality releases as normal, and make it a great system to get into. There are some bad games, but most are at least mediocre if not great, and even a mediocre Neo game is usually full of charactor and graphical flourish.

If you're thinking the neo-geo could use a everdrive.No that will not happen it would be to cost prohibitive for krikzz to produce.The closest thing are the multicarts for the mvs.
