i read here a few days ago of people having problems with masssytems, well i am in a dire need os the svideo cable for the supergun, i heard massystmes is the only spot that has it, said it was 35 bucks, but after reading what people on this site said about mas, i am not sure i should buy it from them, does anyone know where else they sell the svideo wire for the supergun, cant take these color bleeds and wavy lines on my mvs games, please someone help me!

Does the supergun from mas need its own special s-video cable?or could you just go down to your Electronics superstore pick up a svideo cable and use it on the super nova

Super Gun = generic term for a system that allows you to play arcade games on your television

SuperNOVA = MAS System's Super Gun

HGA (Home Game Arcade) = GW Trading's Super Gun

SUPER GUN= Actual product that was released back in 93' by a company going by the name 'GAMESGROUP' This device looked like a cable box with speaker vents on top,Jamma harness adapter poking out the left side ,on/off switch,volume knobs,joy ports,8 pin video interface,credit push button,earphone jack and sync switch along the front of it.The price was around $500 when it came out.The problem with this unit was with eth NTSC converter,after awhile the converters either stopped working or gave off a b&w signal.This happened to many of them.Alot of cmpanies selling them at that time had to give back refunds.MAS copied this idea by creating custom made devices with better NTSC converters.Whatever you wanted MAS created it for you,they would even paint artwork on the wooden units they created.The demand became enormous thus prompting MAS to release a standard called 'Super Nova'.These units were produced faster than custom made ones of course but quality dropped off IMO.
