It was released in September of 1997 and had an NEC VR4300 at 100 MHz with 16MiB of RAM. Hyper Neo-Geo 64 (HNG-64) was the successor to the Neo-Geo with 3D graphics, there was no home console release. It had a Motorola 68000 CPU at 12 MHz with another CPU that being a Zilog Z80 at 4 MHz. Neo Geo CD (NG-CD) was the CD version of the AES (not compatible with the game cartridges) released in January of '96 and $399. It had a Motorola 68000 at 12MHz and a Zilog Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB RAM and 84KB VRAM. MVS and AES are technically the same systems, but their cartridges are not compatible with each other due to a different layout. The Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console was released on July 1, 1991. The Neo Geo MVS (Multi Video System) arcade system was first released by SNK Corporation on January 1990 in Japan and on Augin NA. You’ll have to attenuate the signal accordingly.Home video game console, arcade system board
This is much lighter and more flexible than the full wired harness: Custom JAMMA harness – power adapter (Molex) Custom JAMMA harness – A/V lead (RGB SCART)īefore connecting the RGB SCART lead to your TV, please note that arcade boards output TTL-level signals while most consumer displays accept 75 ohm signals only.

Painted metal shell MV2FS with painted metal shellĪnd finally, to get it in working condition, I soldered a Molex plug and a RGB SCART lead onto a new JAMMA connector. 32 bits : pure asm version, or 64 bits : pure C/C++, make your choice. It’s still far from perfect, but much better than before.
I had to sand and paint it two times because I messed up the paint on the outside when working on the inside. This metal shell definitely needs a makeover: Rusty metal shell – outside Rusty metal shell – insideįirst some sanding to make it shiny: Sanded metal shell – outside Sanded metal shell – insideĪnd then applying some spray paint: Painted metal shell
The previous owner already replaced the battery and fitted a Universe BIOS. The first motherboard also had some pleasant surprises hidden underneath the rusty metal shell. If it can’t be repaired then I’ll use it for spare parts. The second motherboard doesn’t boot and shows signs of consolization. This is a common problem which I intend to investigate in the future. It turned out that the first motherboard worked fine, except for some vertical lines that showed up on games in the second slot. The video plug fits right into a GBS-8220 CGA2VGA converter which generates an image of average quality, but good enough for testing purposes.
Testingįor the first test I hooked up the fully wired JAMMA harness to a PC power supply for +5 and +12 V. These features make it more accessible for home use. I chose MV2FS motherboards because they already come equipped with two AES compatible joystick ports, stereo sound output and a memory card reader. There are many tutorials available at Jamma Nation X. Other possibilities are to use a MAK/SuperGun, or consolize the motherboard. MVS motherboards are not designed for plug & play use at home, which is why they require an arcade cabinet with a MVS compatible JAMMA harness. I didn’t expect them to be that huge though. The availability of the NEOSD cartridge changed this, and finally two used/partially broken 2-slot MVS motherboards made it to my home this year. However, I never bought the original MVS/AES hardware, mainly because of the unreasonably high prices of the games. Over the years I collected many consoles of the Neo Geo family, including the CD, CDZ, Pocket, Pocket Color and Neo Geo X. Later on, when MAME finally became a useable Neo Geo emulator, it became quite easy to add new released games and dumps to the source code, and play them as well. At that time, MAME didn’t yet have the capacity to emulate those games properly and at a decent speed. (OSX Command) /Applications/RetroArch.app/Contents/MacOS/RetroArch -L.
In the late 90s, the emulators NeoRAGE and NeoRAGEx introduced me to the world of Neo Geo and arcade emulation. This guide describes how to setup game files to play Neo Geo CD (NeoCD) using.
As I was looking at store displays during the early 90s, I was amazed at how huge these game carts were in comparison with other consoles, such as the Nintendo GameBoy. Kega Fusion, also shortened as Fusion and initially named Kega II, is a multi-system emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X developed by Steve Snake.It is the follow-up to Kega Lazarus, and is the last in Steve Snakes Sega emulators after KGen, KGen98, Kega and Lazarus. Neo Geo games and hardware have been a part of my life for many years.
