About

The only subreddit dedicated solely to the Neo Geo!

The Neo Geo is a cartridge-based arcade system from the fourth generation of video game consoles. The console was launched to arcades as the Multi Video System (MVS) in Japan on April 26th, 1990 followed by releases in North America (August 22nd, 1990), and Europe (1991). Variants of the arcade console may have 1, 2, 4, or 6 cartridge slots for games that can be chosen by the player. Many people "consolize" MVS boards to be playable on a home television by either using a JAMMA-based "supergun" or manually wiring the needed parts.

On July 1st, 1991, the console was launched in a different form factor to the home market as the Advanced Entertainment System (AES), becoming the most powerful machine of the fourth generation of consoles. A version of the AES that uses CDs instead of cartridges — the Neo Geo CD — was released in 1994. A handful of exclusive titles were released straight to Neo Geo CD.

Neo Geo Blazing Star MVS

I’m currently looking at getting an arcade cabinet that comes with the game Blazing Star.

I’m probably going to sell the game so I’m just wondering how easy it would be to sell/a realistic value for the game :)

Let me know your thoughts!

Clock on MVS running

Is it normal that the real time clock runs super fast on a modified MV1C board? What is causing this?

How different are the AES 3-5 and 3-6 boards?

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 got my NEO-O AES Unit!

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?

UPDATE: Ok so I literally just cleaned the only cart I have with isopropyl and a bunch of cotton tip and BAM! We have audio baby!

Stumbled across these at work.

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!

Stereo or Mono on a multi slot board

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?

Not sure if I can post a new game here (for modern systems) that has strong NEO-GEO vibes.

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. :)

What do you use to open your carts?

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?

Graphics and audio issues with NEO-MVH MV4 board

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.
