Conflicted About Neo-Geo

[indecks]

You're not looking hard enough. There's tons of stuff on ebay. Here's one I found in a few seconds link

Or better yet, how hard would it be to consolize one yourself? Any guides out there?

Where do you think I could buy an MVS? I can't find one on Ebay and other sites like that. Is there a good site where I can get one?

This is for working 2 slot little on the pricey side, but it saves the hassle of building controller ports off the jamma as you can use home neo geo sticks.

As I said before all you need beyond that is a 200-300w pc psu, a jamma cable, and NTSC convertor chip such as.

Then basically you just wire power and ground from the PSU to the jamma cable, even twisting and electrical tape will work though I wouldn't permanently keep it that way.

Ben heck wrote up a good guide, he even goes the extra step of teaching you how to build a converter yourself but the amount of soldering might be a bit scary to a neophyte.
That said his guide contains the wiring diagrams for both a pc psu and a jamma harness which is pretty much all there it to it.

Finally now you are left with functional but somewhat ugly working MVS, the sky is limit as to how you want to spruce the thing up I have seen everything from tupperware to a coffee table, however cps2shock as a very clean simple woodworking project to improve the look of your supergun, they are working with Capcom hardware the bu the basics are the same.

Hope this helped.

Also real technical info on all the MVS board revisions.

I personally would invest in the aes system, then invest in a mvs/aes converter, and then just buy mvs carts to play on the aes. Its a more neat and stream line way to play neo geo. The converter is a bit over priced though, but very good quality. And man do i ever agree about the neo geo collectors being douchebags, I left the neo forums cause they are just plain rude. and half of them do not even own a neo geo.
