Awesome Mishran! You have an cool wife!

Its got some dings and rips in the black outer film, but I think it should be easy and cheap to fix up. Guys recommend any good cheaper games?

Lovin' the big red Mish! You got a very nice variety of games. Nam is awesome! Takes some practice to master though. If you like sports games, then I highly recommend Baseball Stars 2 and Wind Jammers.

magical drop 2, strikers 1945+, blazing star... looks like you've already got metal slug... get 2 and X at least.

Neo Turf Masters / Big Tournament Golf
Windjammers / Flying Power Disc
Last Resort

[Mathius]

Wow!

Get Spinmaster (great platformer!) and Shock Troopers (Mercs clone that totally outshines Sega's overhead run 'n gunner!).

Well if you wanted a neo-geo mvs you do know it can be consolized right ? The mvs board itself can even be run through a supergun.

That's how I do it, works a treat.

No offense dude, but if you are gonna use a pirate cartridge and composite video, may as well just use a small computer and run mame...

[Frank_fjs]

No offence taken.

Some things I'd like to point out though:

- Picture quality is better than you'd expect and better than any other composite signal you've seen - I'll provide a photo to prove it (the blur on the main character and fish sprite are from them moving - should have paused it sorry).
- I would much rather play on a large CRT TV than a tiny LCD screen.
- I can also play my real MVS carts and many other jamma based arcade PCB's with this setup, it's not Neo Geo exclusive.
- Re the multicart, I use it as it's less hassle than constantly ripping out and inserting a new cart, plus aside from the hacks the games play identically to their counterparts.
- I can easily use an AES joystick.



^ Neo Geo on actual hardware via a nice CRT TV beats the crap out of Mame/Kawaks.

I was actually considering a multicart for mine. The cart slot is so close to the electronic components, when yanking that carts out I ran my hand against some of the caps on the board and bent the legs by accident a couple times. Sliced my finger open once. Doubt the caps can handle to many of that before breaking. Multicart might be pirating, but its much easier than pulling carts out all the time wearing out the connector. Safer for the machine means major win in my book. Still plan on buying official carts for it though.

[Frank_fjs]

I picked mine up for $75 landed and really can't complain. It's the 150-in-1, and of those 150 games 99 of them are unique/non hack/original versions.

Of course I have real MVS carts but like you I hate having to pull them out/insert them all the time. The MVS hardware isn't really designed for quick and constant cart changes, it's designed to house a single cart for months on end.

nice vogatek are you forcing both channels to your cab speakers?
