Proud new owner/Hello to all

Hi,

I am a proud new owner of a NEO-GEO MV-1FS cabinet. I have loved SNK games ever since i played SAMSHO 1 for the very first time. I WAS HOOKED. During the time were ARCADES still existed in the US, I would walk to my nearest arcade and play on a NEO-GEO. I was really into the fighting games and still am. I was thinking about getting an MVS cab for a while and out of shear luck i happen to get my chance to get one locally. Here are some pics of my new baby. :chimp:

Now i am a total MARK when it comes to in depth knowledge on the MVS boards. When i got the cab the original MV-1FS board it came with had a VIDEO RAM ERROR. So a had to buy a new one. I got the same board and fired it up, WORKS GREAT. Now one of my questions is i have read that some time newer games might not work on some of the older boards. I am planing on buying some of the newer fighting games like GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES and KOF 2003. Does any one think i will have a problem with those games? Another question is , my wife loves puzzle games an i would like to buy some for her. I know that BUST-A-MOVE will be my fist purchase. Are there any other puzzle games on the MVS that anyone can recommend? Thought that i saw COLUMES came out on MVS? HOPE TO LEARN FROM ALL OF YOU ON THE FOURMS

THANKS

BTW: I have had a NEOGEO POCKET color for like 5 years and it is still my fav hand held ever. Its been my alarm clock ever since to.

Welcome to the boards

Thanks man. I just made an up grade on my contols 2 days ago. I put in HAPP COMPETITION PARTS, they are great. The old controls were over used. So do you think i will have any problems with new games on my system with newer games?

on my 1 slot i can't play ROTD or KOF 2003...don't know about MoTW, that's next on the hit list

Welcome to the boards. I would suggest getting your wife any of the following puzzle games:

Magical Drop 2
Magical Drop 3
Money Puzzle Exchanger (like Magical Drop but with coins)
Bust-A-Move Again
Pop N Bounce

Hola

If you had to buy a new motherboard anyway why didnt you just get a two or four slot? I know it would have been more work overall than just replacing the existing motherboard but then you wouldnt have to change games as much. I have problems with only having a two slot but untill it breaks im not bothering with it.

The way my cab is made, it only has room for a one slot where the game lays horizontally. If the game sat vertically, I would not be able to pull the drawer where the board lays because the games would hit the lip of the monitor.
