Advice needed on MVS

[Arkhan]

I'd just get rid of all of it because it's crap.

That's what I did.   Turned that MVS into more PCE games, and an MSX!

Don't try to confuse us with your mocking ways, Lord Arkhan.

Your sad devotion to that ancient MSX has not helped you beat "Metal Slug" or given you taste enough to play "ASO II: Last Guardian". 

I used the thing for Puzzle Bobble and Magical Drop.   All the other crap I liked on it can be played on home machines.   Slam it through an upscaler + surround sound + 60" TV, and sit back and laugh.

Metal Slug included and Alpha mission II included!



It did make a cool ass coat hanger though.

On a serious note, sell the MVS and get a NGCD for the two dozen games that don't take forever to load, then take the rest of the cash and buy Neo Geo fighters on the Saturn and Dreamcast. Take the rest of the money and get hookers and booze.

Every time I look at pictures of 1-slots, I don't see a headphone jack or the 4-pin thingy where a stereo cable could come from. CORRECTION: I saw a pic of one where a jack and slider SHOULD BE but they were gone. Do they hide that shit somewhere?

Yes my Supergun is mono because Jamma is mono.

Mono is for retards.

lol.

just buy my MV-1B.  other than fighters (none of which i really cared for anyway) the D button was kind of useless.

also, Ark, y u change your avatar? we need reminders about the kung fu daily

i think the headphone plug is a 4 pin plug like the sterea but the models equiped with it have a volume slider close to the jamma side and the connectors on the right side of the pcb. Seriously just look for a MV1FS. Has controller ports, stereo and heasphone volume sliders and socketed bios so its easy to install a unibios.

Mv1B has a surface mount bios and you need to install a neo bios masta. Also no controller ports, doesnt sound like what Joe is looking for. They are nice and compact though.

My MV-1 has all the bells and whistles, but damn that thing is a beast... I don't think it has a headphone jack, but it does have the switch to toggle between stereo and mono.

[Joe Redifer]

So where would I get the 4-pin wire that would connect to the MV1FS audio out ports? I assume this same wire would also connect to other stereo PCBs.

I dont know anyone that has them for sale other than FrancoB http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=117852.0
You can probably have Lemony Vengance or Xian Xi (jamma nation x) easily build a jst to rca cable as well

Joe:  Get a stereo phono cable.  Cut one end of the phono plugs off.  Strip the wires.  Wrap the bare wires onto each of the 4 posts.  Which one is which, you figure it out.

Optional extra: crimp wires into molex connector.

For the soldering-averse: none needed.

[Joe Redifer]

Wouldn't a Molex connector be too big? The only thing I find on Google is the thing that plugs into the back of PATA hard drives for power. I don't mind soldering I just need the right connector. I'd like to be able to remove it and slide it on to other stereo JAMMA boards that I have.

[ccovell]

Molex connectors come in all shapes and sizes, not just the ATX power supply one (which is what I think you're imagining.)  At least on my MVS, the stereo audio header could fit a smaller, square molex connector.  Other people could chime in on the right one for other arcade PCBs.

I have an Omega MVS with a multicart, and I couldn't be happier. I play it a lot more than I thought I would. There's tons of times I want to game but don't have a ton of time to get bogged down in a drawn out story or campaign. You can't beat the neo for some arcade action.

I like the omega. The shell looks nice and protects the mobo lol . it feels solid and works great.

Expensive though hence the reason why I went DIY. I could have sworn my vogatek was playing my neo MVS-1 in Stereo not in mono with that little switch on the board but I could be wrong..

Just for info on the multi-carts I have a 161 and now a 138 in 1.  Yeah the 138 has a better selection of games, but the load times kinda suck balls if you ask me.  You have no load times what so ever with the 161 in 1 cart.  Aero Fighters 3 still has issues on both of those carts, but it's playable.  One reason I still own a few non bootlegs.  BTW prices have also gone stupid for regular mvs games.  It's not as cheap as they used to be.  Some start going for lower end AES prices now.
