I have 3-6 with a lot of trace rot, and I’d like to transplant to a fresh board. Wills Console Modifications sell a 3-5 repro board. Would that be an incompatible transfer?

Just like to know a tip/guide on how to get into collecting for neo geo aes within reasonable price in 2024?

It is available at Stone Age game

Hi all,

Finally got the correct AC adapter for my 9V AES. I hooked it all up with the basic Yellow/White cable into a RCA to HDMI adapter (I will be doing a proper SCART setup later on).

I only have one Cart, Samurai Spirits. So i get a decent picture (probably needs the RGB fix), but i get no sound? I wonder if its a bad cable coming from the Neogeo? It was the one that came with it.

I also tried the Phones port in the front and nothing.

Any ideas?

I found these in a bag that was left behind in an abandoned unit I was cleaning. I have never seen them before. I know they are neo geo games but I have no use for them and was thinking of taking them down to the local game store. I’ve tried looking them up but the results are pretty inconsistent and I don’t have the knowledge about the console or games to make sense of it. If anyone knows their value or has info on them I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I have a 2 slot and a 6 slot board in a cabinet that has only one speaker. Does anyone know where I would wire a second speaker into the board to get stereo sound? It's currently playing out of one speaker and it's insanely jarring as it's playing both channels, but one is part is much louder than the other (music is loud but voices and sound effects are much lower in volume). Otherwise, is there a way to switch settings so everything plays evenly out of one speaker?

Ur boy pushing 40 soon. Thinking of buying neo geo console off AliExpress for like $300+ but I can't find version 3 of the 161 in 1 cartridge. Everything looks to be the green version 2. I'm not expert at this but damn a console + cartridge + controller is like $500 project. Might as well buy the msx bartop neo geo arcade for $500 with 50gms...comon what y'all think give ur boy some advice and links maybe haha

I was born in the early 80s and grew up playing a lot of arcade games, especially in the early 90s, with classics from Data East, NeoGeo, Capcom, and others. I loved those games so much that I ended up making my own video game, drawing inspiration from many of those systems and mechanics.

Let me know if i can post here and I will place a new post with the game itself. :)

I tried the plastic card method on my reproductions and got one open without issue but my god the other one was stuck. I also ruined my debit card.

I'm just kidding. I had some plastic arcade cards sitting around. The edges did not hold up to my efforts, though.

Would a Lego tool or something like that work? Is there something that's more standard to use or am I just inexperienced?

So I did it and bought a working 2 slot MVS cabinet. Probably will pick it up in two to three weeks!

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a bit of help. I have a MVS-4-25 (ver. 3). The original board died due to a battery leak. It was damaged before I purchased it. However, It still played games but had the backup memory errors on boot up. I cleaned it with vinegar and removed the battery but eventually it died completely. I guess I didn't clean it well enough.

After a years, I decide to try and restore my cabinet. I recently bought a replacement board (NEO-MVH MV4/NEO-MVH SLOT4) from eBay, said to be working. It was from Europe but it was the same model as the one I was replacing. In service mode it passes all tests and works fine. This includes the audio test, grid lines, and colour blocks.

However when I try and play a game I get horrible graphical glitches and no audio. It had a factory EU bios, I tried my UniBIOS v3 and a new UniBIOS v4 both known to work, but no fix. I've tried cleaning the contacts on the carts and the board, but the issue still persists. I even tried a multi-cart, just incase. Desperate and to validate the monitor and cabinet wiring, I tried my old Pandora's Box with Jamma2MVS adapter, and that worked fine.

I'm wondering what to try next. I've gone through the forums and googled the heck out of it. However I can't really find anyone with similar graphical issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated. These boards and the folks willing to spend time fixing them are getting pretty rare and very expensive. Maybe I just leave my Pandora's Box in it or try a MisterFPGA. However I feel that would be sacrilege. Thank you.

Accidentally plugged Pro Pow 3 into 120V:

I accidentally plugged this Pro Pow 3 into my 120v ac, then briefly into my console. Before I bought the console and ac adapter I read a post on here that said it shouldn’t be a big deal to run it on 120v, and that it’ll just make the Neo geo run a bit hot. Before I even turned on the console though I remembered the fact that is should be on 100v AC. I figured with what I remembered reading the brief 120v shouldn’t have harmed it, and grabbed my step down transformer. After plugging it into my step down transformer I plugged in the console and when I didn’t get a power on I unplugged it immediately. I tested the psu with a multi meter and it was outputting 16volts, then died a few minutes later.

Does an eBay 9v/10v replacement adapter work as a 11v Pro Pow 3 replacement? Likewise, what’re the odds my Neo geo is cooked, as I’m worried it was exposed to too much voltage for too long.

Thanks

I have the NCI production of Mark of the Wolves and I'm struggling to get information.

I know they're related to a French company called Atomikwave and I've found an interview where they say they are licensed similar to LRG. I've also found some controversy surrounding the names in charge of the company.

My thing is, Google literally stops on page 1 and I can only find one other picture of the same game. So, do I have something nice here, or is it just another repro? I'm good either way, I just can't find much about it, NCI, or the legitimacy of their licensing claim.

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. I just bought a pre-owned consolized MVS which worked absolutely fine for a couple of days and suddenly developed problems.

It’s an MV-1c board, modified with an open MVS kit, fitted with a unibios 4.0 and a dual frequency oscillator. I’ve included a pic of the circuit board.

Games boot and play fine, but out of nowhere there are color flickers in the background, sometimes the colors shift completely. They seem to be happening alway at the same moments. I’ve tried to capture it on video, the flickering starts at around 15 seconds (the course select screen). See here:

https://imgur.com/a/sWkW2hX

I’ve ruled out a faulty cable. I used an original mega drive 2 cable on a broadcast crt monitor as well as an rgbs upscaler on a flat screen. The flickering occurs roughly at the same moments, sometimes stronger, sometimes more subtle.

Also, all solder joints seem fine to me and there is no visible damage or wear. I’ve also cleaned the cartridges and connector with isopropyl alcohol.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I have basic soldering skills but beyond that, I’m not very knowledgeable I’m afraid. I’ve spent a ton of money on this thing and was having so much fun :(

I’ve always lusted after a NeoGeo and I might be able to get either a 1 slot or 2 slot MVS cabinet locally for a decent price. If I did then where is a reliable place to buy MVS carts from? Are they more reasonably priced in comparison to their AES counterparts (seems like those are insanely expensive from what I’ve heard)? I don’t even really need to have the real cartridges, I be okay with the 161-in-1 cart I’ve read about.

Is this an insane idea? Getting in over my head? Or should I scratch this itch that started some 34 years ago?

I have a 6 slot MVS that when I go into service mode, I only get what appears to be gibberish. The games work from what I can tell with no issues and it only seems to be the service mode (dip 1) that has this issue. Normally, I wouldn't care, but the battery no longer saves settings and this is in a public setting where I need to change settings so people can switch between the games every time it boots. Anyone know how to remedy this?

I've got this MVS 2 Slot, a survivor in every word not sure it was ever on any serious locations, and largely has been non-public. It has minimal exterior issues, nothing peeling off, faded, a few minor scratches, not rusted. It has working phones and memory card jacks for it. No EL panels up top just a CFL up there for even lighting.

I've been considering selling everything off or just the cabinet and getting something smaller to use on my TV itself instead. The monitor was recapped in the last few years too so that's fresh. The original mechanisms, coin bucket, keys are all present, nothing reproduced.

If it goes it would hit marketplace, not touching ebay at all.

EDIT: I forgot to add I have the original bios stored but UNIBIOS4 installed into it, also the original battery is long gone replaced with a rechargeable coin cell mount/battery in there currently. I also have an original brain hargrove neo memory card that can store the saves of every game, every score, every aes bit and then some when coupled with that unibios.

Here's a few images of the cabinet

The core campaign ended on September 14, 2024 and was a smashing success.  Not only was the project fully funded, but it also surpassed the stretch goal for having the female ninja included as a playable character!

Due to extremely strong demand, the developer has decided to accept Late Pledges for those who missed out during the core campaign.  Here's the exciting part... The project is only £2,000 away from reaching the next stretch goal:  2-player co-operative gameplay.  This will be a revolutionary feature, as none of the arcade and console Shinobi games had this 2-player simultaneous gameplay.
