Neo Geo

[TR0N]

Been a fan of the NeoGeo ever since 1990 when it hit the arcades.

Afther i played Magician Lord i was hooked on it like drugs.

For the rest of the 90's i just played ports since the... arcades here gave up on the NeoGeo afther 94

Still in the end it didn't stop me from getting my own set up.

When i found out how the used market was for the, NeoGeo afther the 90's ended. I figure now is the time since the "used market" wasn't bad on prices.

I started with a AES at frist but in the end it was still too pricey for me.

So when i found out MVS could be played at home without buying a cab.I just settle for a, consolized set up i wasn't in the mood to mess with a supergun either all those wires

So far my (NeoGeo MVS consolized 2 slot) is keeping me a happy gamer

What's great about MVS games are dirt cheap compared to AES

Btw i don't wanna 'hear why didn't you settle for some Neo emulation.I'm sorry in my book... nothing beats the real deal

[TR0N]

i remembger when neo geo games were out in the arcades back in the day. the games blew everyone away. every kid wanted a neo geo console but the general feeling was the price was far too high.

I know what ya mean... who didn't want one afther playing it in the arcades.

Back then it was either Genesis,TG16 or a SNES.

I remember back then i chose the (TG16 plus the TurboCD) since i wanted to 'experince cd games again realy bad. Afther playing, MonsterLair and Valis II in a rental store.

Still the times have change at least getting a, NeoGeo these days doesn't cost a fortune

[Keranu]

I really want to get a MVS cab some day, but I'll probably end up getting the board and a Super Gun because of space reasons, even though I prefer the cab.

If your worry about space there are smaller, MVS cabs like this one

Neo-29 also know as a candy cab.


Then there's this one for wich i wouldn't mind having either

Neo-19



Note: pictures curiosity of neo-geo.com

I doubt i'll stick with my, consolized mvs set up forever.If and when i ...move next year and if space isn't a issue.Then i'll probably sell my, MVS and look into getting a cab like the Neo-19

[Ninja Spirit]

Where do you get those Candy Cabs anyway? I always wanted one. Fits in my room perfectly.

[Keranu]

I know of those Candy cabs, but I was planning on getting an All-American MVS cab since I prefer the American arcade style   .

[khyrox]

However, I don't really remember anything other than Atari when it came to home consoles. I didn't "discover" Intellivision until around 1988 when a buddy bought one at a flea market, and we played Sea Battle just for laughs between bouts of Simon's Quest and Double Dragon on the NES. The 2600 was huge though, all my friends had one...

...And I vividly remember "the crash" if only for the huge bins packed with 25 cent cartridges that sat outside of KB Toys until literally 1985 or 86!

All my friends had a 2600... I think I was the only one to have a Colecovision. I remember their jaws dropping when I showed them Donkey Kong...  

I remember going thru the bins of 25 cent carts at Kay Bee Toys (it wasn't called 'KB' back then   ) too!!

My Coleco is buried somewhere in my basement... I should dust that thing off and see if it still works... haha

[TR0N]

I know of those Candy cabs, but I was planning on getting an All-American MVS cab since I prefer the American arcade style   .

Well there all ways the red mini cab then.

Unless you got big hands and don't like a 13 inch screen, then i wouldn't recomend it.

Heck the red mini cab was made with kids in mind.

Still nothing wrong with a supergun of corse if you just want to play, NeoGeo games and your not worry about. Playing other, jamma pcbs a consolized set up isn't bad either.

[pixeljunkie]

I got a couple candy cabs and a 1-slot mobo with a pause button wired into my Neo Candy and 30+ MVS carts. Plus a Hyper Neo with all 4 fighters.

Recently got Bloody Wolf [original arcade version] since I loved the turbo version so much.

Recently got Bloody Wolf [original arcade version] since I loved the turbo version so much.

So, how is the arcade version? I had never seen it in the arcades, or if I did, I didn't play it.

Surprisingly identical to the TG-16 version. Obviously, its slightly better in arcade form. But the contrast between the two versions is more slight than say, Splatterhouse when compared to the arcade version. I should take some pics.

[PCEngineHell]

Bloody Wolf was 2 player in the arcade.

Sure a "consolized mvs doesn't look pretty" as... a aes or a cab but it gets the job done

[Metalslug]

That's a neat set up Tron.  You should pick up a copy of Snk vs Capcom.  I just got that kit and it's pretty fun.  Have you played money puzzle exchanger?  How do you like magic drop 3?

[Keranu]

I think your MVS looks beautiful, Tron!

I was thinking of picking up, SvsC Choas i know the kits for it are cheap.

As for, money puzzle exchange never played it i still need a copy.

MD3 i'll say this very addictive!

[TR0N]

I think your MVS looks beautiful, Tron!

Thanks a member at neo-geo.com hook me up on it.

Colors very when people paint the metal cover red,black,white,blue even purple

I told the guy i wanted... green so that's what i got since green 'is my favorite color

[Ninja Spirit]

I remember seeing a picture at Neo Geo.com of a dead Neo Geo CD system resurrected into a MVS supergun. That looked hot as hell!

[Keranu]

That sounds awesome, I should look that up sometime.

[TR0N]

I remember seeing a picture at Neo Geo.com of a dead Neo Geo CD system resurrected into a MVS supergun. That looked hot as hell!

I remember that as well beside useing a saturn shell for one.

Coolest one i've seen so far is useing a, Genesis 2 shell.




Person i know at neo-geo.com made that  

[Metalslug]

That's awesome but it would look much better black, gun metal or carbon fibre.

[GUTS]

Holy shit that Genesis one is awesome.  Whoever built that has some serious talent, it looks damn professional.

[Ninja Spirit]

That Genesis MVS is fine by me. After all, blue is my absolute favorite color. I wonder how much it is to get all that done.

Oh yeah as a matter of fact, if anyone's got a dead Neo Geo CD system (top loader), I need a new CD lid for my NGCD. One of the side hinges totally broke off and causes the game to reset on its own because the lid slips off level.

[Keranu]

DAMN that Genesis one is incredible! I hate the Genesis model 2 design also, but he pimped the hell outta it!

[TR0N]

I never mind the, Genesis 2 model still the lack of a, headphone jack like the original one had kind of suck.

[Ninja Spirit]

Genesis model 1 owns all.

Now that I think of it, I do have a broken Genesis model 1 that needs a resurrection.

[PCEngineHell]

I picked up a Pelican Arcade stick,wooden based,that will let you switch the parts out fo rHapps stuff if need be,and a MVS board,a Crazarcade video encoder,jamma harness,and other junk,and some MVS carts.
I was going to consolize the MVS,as it has joystick ports for AES,but instead Ill just build a supergun out of the arcade stick.After I get done with everything,Ill get you guys pics.

[Ninja Spirit]

BTW Tron which NeoGeo.com member did that Genny 2 MVS transformation?

[PCEngineHell]

Bah,you guys are suckers.The Genesis Model 2 has stereo av output.on the model 1 you had to use a jack cable and rely on the earphone jack as the output.That totally sucks.
Ill stick to my Genesis 2 with stereo sound output.
You guys can keep your headphones.

Np heck i did perfer the, Genesis 2 model more becuse of that.

Other then the fact it was a better fit for the, Sega CD 2 as well.

My supergun,cost less then D-Lites,and combines the best of gaming.
I was going to host teh parts in the Pelican arcade stick that is supposed to arrive tomarrow,but changed my mind.
Pc Engine no longer needs Arcade Card Pro to play Art of Fighting.

[Keranu]

Michael already showed and talked to me about this on MSN awhile ago, but anyways, this supergun rules!

[PCEngineHell]

let me know what you think people!

[esteban]

let me know what you think people!

Of course I'm jealous of the Supergun + white PCE... but the Phantasm II LD in the background is what really got me excited

[PCEngineHell]

Yea the Phantasm 2 ld being in the back ground is to make sure you guys know these pics are from me.
Im still needing Phantasm 4 on LD. No one ever places it up for sale.2 and 3 are only on VHS and LD in the US.Not on DVD,so unless your willing to do the Pal dance,which Im not,LD is Phantasms home.I usually watch all 4 once a week.I have the 4 of them as Divx rips I keep around so I dont have to ruin the 3 I do have on ld by dragging them out all the time.

[TR0N]

let me know what you think people!

Not too bad but check this thread out

This guy put a consolized mvs 1 slot in a metal briefcase

http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132842

[PCEngineHell]

Not bad,even uses the same MVS I own.But I built a fully working Supergun,not a dedicated MVS 1 Slot.I didnt want to limit myself.

[PCEngineHell]

/supergun13cb.jpg

My final product supergun project.I only used the Pc Engine as a temp host,now everything is fit nice and snug(RGB converter,s-video jack,audio output,jamma out,and power plug port are contained or come out of the back end storage area of the Pelican arcade stick.)

I have chosen to use a standard AT power supply. I have a bunch of them readily available as it is,and they have a fan to keep themselves cool.Also the plug I used on the supergun fits any PC power supply +12/+5 cd-drive power cord.
This is like the third time I have owned a MVS,7th time I have owned a cart based NeoGeo. I was originally going to just consolize my MVS,which btw I only paid 50 bucks for,but changed my mind. Id much rather have a fully functioning supergun so I can play other stuff as well.

Right now I am sitting at 5 carts here at home,and waiting for 3 more to arrive. Here right now I have Last blade 2,Art of Fighting,Samruai Shodown 2,Sengoku,and Magican Lord.

Due to arrive next week out of Canada is Samurai Shodown 4,Blazing Star,and KOF 99.
Anyway I got a way better web cam today,so enjoy the higher res pic

[PCEngineHell]

This final product still cost less to build then D-Lites basic one cost to buy.
I recomend to any and all of you to just build one yourself.
Use the extra cash on MVS carts or Rastan pcb or something.
This was damn easy to build.

Nice got a neobitz video encoder in it as well?

[PCEngineHell]

Crazearcade.com
I dont use component on my monitor.I never needed anything that high because I dont use my dvd player often.Just laserdisc players which use S-Video,this and I do not think component output would vastly improve my already wonderful picture quality.My monitor I use is a 24 inch Apex.It has composite in,3 of them,S-video in,and video/audio output.I love this monitor.The glass is dark glass on it,and the picture is very crisp.I have calibrated it using the Avia Home Theater dvd.The results were infact a great deal better then the THX calibrater I have used in the past.
Needless to say,Im very pleased with this setup.

[Keranu]

Looking great, man. I might be getting a MVS set up this summer. I would prefer cab, but I might have to end up doing super gun.

[PCEngineHell]

/supergunbacendpicdownsize5ai.jpg

This is a link to the pic of the back side of my supergun. Up under the power plug there is a audio out jack cable,very hard to see.I set it up for mono,sens emost stuff is mono by default.I have a special audio cable made for stuff liek th eMVS that will hook up to the stereo out prongs to give me stereo output on any audio source,along with 2 speakers with the same type hookup incase I decide to do self powered stereo,as the MVS can power speakers itself fine.

Hey just thought i mention it, Neobitz video encoder does wounders for s-video and componet no color bleed either.

It's great for the NeoGeo period.

[PCEngineHell]

I thought of using Neobitz,but I heard from others that Crazearcade offered sharper s-video overall compared to the others,esp on the NeoGeo side of things.Not only that buts its the easiest to install of about any of them.
