Neo Geo Project

[luckydog]

This is going to be a long term project for me,

I will be adding to it piece by piece as I can spare the cash

I found the box at Goodwill filled with kids toys. I think it will be ideal because the size is about the size of a beer case, it had a sliding top and its already built

I won the one slot Neo Geo board on Ebay and also the MVS game cartridge.

I tested them and they are working!!

there are loads of MVS games for this setup, I just have to be very patient

I will get the wiring harness next, then real powersupply and joystick and button set.

I plan on beefing up one side and setting the box on its side with an arcade pad setup on built up side.

p.s. I need to have the right kind of monitor, the picture is just black and white now.

I konw you like pictures, its not much, but its a start!!

what did you do with all the kids toys??

[luckydog]

It was a large brio wooden train set. I split it into 2 lots for Ebay

One sold already

My neo-geo uses a WG 25" CGA monitor. A one slot board can use a standard jamma harness. If it was two or more slots then you would need the neo harness because of the select game button.

I thought it was RGB monitors, thats why I'm getting black and white!!!

I have an older HP monitor in the shed, maybe I'll jerryrig a connector and give that a try

I have 3 Neo Geo machines

1 - one of the first 10,000 to hit the dock (1987)
2 - one modified for S-Video and debug bios (MVS carts via Phantom)
3 - A Dedicated Irritating Maze Arcade Machine (blows air in your face when you screw up !!! Which is... irritating !!

Pic 1 shows my neo geo carts AES and MVS on the second, and part of the third shelves ^_^
Pic 2 is the Neo Geo MVS IM Arcade. The ONLY stand alone Dedicated Neo Geo Game

[luckydog]

Wow, that's a ton of games!!!

I have one MVS cart

The regular cabinet is just to big to have one here, thats why I want to downside it

[rubberratt]

Making "consoles" out of the MVS will be a really fun activity. You can get some EXCELLENT tips/ideas from the forums out there.

RR, are you a member there? I'm chrisdice on that site also. I don't really post there, I just look for deals in the selling threads. I bought a few games from members. Its a lot better then eBay. There market place has rules about bootleg carts so your know your getting the real deal..

[outdoorenth]

Wow is right! I find that with my PS2 and WII games which are just a fraction of what you have in the Neo-Geo I have so little time to play ...

[musky]

What size edge connector do you need Lucky, 30 pin or 36 or both...I may have them still, if not I know where to get them for you

It was a gater clip that killed the Bee Hive

[Sid]

damn gators...

Very cool, I used to collect NEO GEO stuff back in the day. Got rid of most of it. I still have my import Neo Geo Pocket and a few games. I can remember when the home console sold for over $700. For now I am happy with emulators out there.

[luckydog]

I did snipe another neo geo board, mainly for the wiring harness that came with it.

under $30.00 for a larger size board and harness shipped

so right now I have 2 MVS games, 2 working boards and the wiring harness.

I also sniped a full neo geo joystick and button panel completely wired for a little over $30.00, I'm sill waiting for that to come.

If I buy the console on ebay now I could always resell everything I bought so far except for the games
