Wait, you're converting a Neo dedicated cab to a mame cab?

I'm going to find where you live and prevent you from doing this by any means necessary. Any. Means. Necessary. :mad_2:

Please at least have the decency to make your MAME build swappable with an actual Neo board so you can play the real thing sometimes.

Hopefully it's not a dedicated Neo cabinet. I'd hate to hear about one being lost to another senseless conversion.

Yep. Old street fighter cab. MAME away my friend. I don't do emulators but at least its not a dedicated Neo.

BTW. Where is the cartridge? I see the cabinet on with no cart inserted.

I just noticed how big of a hot mess it is. A two slot motherboard with a one-slot marquee. Plus a mini marquee that wasn't for the game given with it. AND a SF2 bezel on a cab with a SNK kit installed. Funny. Whatever you do will be a huge improvement.

Yeah I know its a mess thats why i payed $50 for it. The cartridge is right at the bottom the picture i have of it is to big to post. I cant see the name on it but the guy told me it was metal slug 2.

I'm going to start ripping it apart this weekend does any of the stuff inside have any value? Some guy told me he would give me $50 for everything since thats what I payed I guess its good.

Any idea what the error code means?

Awesome, it's a Dynamo, mame away.

As far as the error goes does it just say error code thn the numbers or does it say something like "Video Ram error" then the numbers?

If it's the motherboard that's the problem, you can easily buy a new one.

Don't "mame away" anything.

I saw lots of nice cabs like this go for 25 - 100 dollars at the arcade auction. I really didn't know they sold that cheap....
