Hi everyone,
Been "trolling" these boards for a while, seems like a really good community. This is my first post.
Anyway, I have a question. I recently purchased a cabinet that was supposedly a NeoGeo Single slot cab. There was no MVS motherboard, just a jamma connector. The CP is neo geo though, and the insides kinda verify that it was (there's monitor controls in the front if you open the CP). Now, I've used a few Jamma games in it with no issues whatsoever. The problem comes in when I use my two Midway Wolf Unit boards (I think that's the name of the hardware).
Whenever I boot up Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 or Nba Hangtime on this machine, there is a soft (but audible) buzz in the speakers. Also, the video looks like its too big for the monitor. The bottom inch of the monitor looks like its squished. This cab doesn't have problems with any other boards, just these two (I'm guessing cause they're the same board).
Now, I've had issues with these boards before. Namely, there used to be this horrible loud buzzing noise when these games were on if there was no +5V on the harness. I've fixed that problem, but there's still (as stated) a small audio problem. I guess it could be a ground issue, but I wouldn't think so since the other boards are okay on it. The video issue is puzzling, although it might be worth it to mention that I have to adjust the monitor when playing these games on my other cabinet (I have to adjust the horizontal position, but that's it). I'm confident I don't need a cap kit for the monitor.
Being a neo geo community, I was hoping someone might have experience with these (or similar) problems. Thanks for reading!
