I keep seeing these nice pics of consolized neos. But no one seems to show exactly how. Anyone have a link? Because I don't feel like spending $279 on a phantom because you know where the money is going. K
Its called making a supergun ;-) Neo Geo is pretty much JAMMA, a few extra bits to put on. There are LOADS of sites that show you how, e.g. hardmvs. You're best off using a mini MVS. There's only 1 top loader if that's your idea. STILL haven't tracked one down or I would have done it myself.
Yup, you want an MV-1C. You can get brand new ones from the NeoStore for around $170ish. You then just need a PSU that outputs Gnd, +5v and +12v, a nice casing and build a joystick.
MVS units already have controller ports. Compare connector pinouts and put in some connectors on the case. You'll need a video standard encoder, (you should use a lineout converter), a connector for video/audio out and a connector for a power supply in.
Only some do. The 2, 4 and 6 slot boards do, but only 2 of the 1slots have pad ports. If you are wanting a toploader, then the only 1slot is the MV-1C. Unfortunately, it's the only 1slot with a soldered in BIOS too, which means it's harder to install the uniBios. All the info you need on MVS boards is here - http://hardmvs.com/html/PCBcompare.htm You can even d/load manuals in .pdf format. As for connectors, you can buy pre-wired Jamma connectors, or just solder sraight to the PCB. But I would recommend an MV-1C. Mine works lovely.
MV-1 is too damn big for making a console. MV-1F may be too. Yup, MV-1C is the only toploader, but no ports. But why would you want to make a stick? Just wire a DB15 to the JAMMA, wire it to AES spec and you can use AES sticks! MV-1B is the smallest board, I believe, but its a front loader. NES console, anyone?
Hardmvs is great, but I want to consolize the board. Add video output, power and then make a nice fiberglass shell for it . So far seen pics of the finished product, but no exact how to. Plan was to use the MVS with the controller ports.
I know it's a supergun, but how they fit all the components under the neo metal shielding, and people machining the custom legs.
http://www.sgrepository.com/modules/news/ ask in the forums, sadly they're ALL MVS fanboys so all they talk about is consolized MVS :\
Oi! Since the new board, I have made 11 out of the 43 posts, and I'm not an MVS fanboy who only talks about consolizing!!
Haha, sorry, I haven't been there since the old board. But at the time, only one person had a non-Neo-centric Supergun and only one or two made one not for Neo... 99% of the time people make Superguns solely for Neo and I'm sick of it!!! :smt043
