Just purchased a Neo cabinet need help

Well, I just finished purchasing a Neo Geo cabinet with a 25" screen and had a few questions. I am not new to Neo as I have an AES system with about 20 carts, but I don't know much about Arcarde cabinet so maybe some of you can help me out.

1. The cabinet came with a 1 game board, is there any way I can swap this out for a larger board?

2. I am debating on either buying KoF2002 or SNK Vs Capcom:Chaos. I know that the price is a heck uv a lot cheaper for the KoF, but SNK Vs. Capcom is just too sweet. My question, can this Jamma PCB board fir into my cabinet? Also can the MVS handle this game on its own? If yes will there be any release for the MVS?

Last Question... What is the best Soccer game for the Neo. Is it Ultimate 11?


Thank you for yor time and understading help

You can play any JAMMA PCB board that you want. All you have to do is switch the games on the JAMMA harness inside the cab. In layman's terms the JAMMA harness is like the equivalent of the RF switch on a home system. You'll see it inside the cab, it's what connects the PCB board to the machine. You just need to disconnect it and connect another PCB board to it.

1. There's no problem for a larger board as long as you have enough space in your cab. For example, you could put a 2-slot MVS board but not a 4-slot. (forget about the 6-slot anyway).

2. As posted above, there's no problem to put that SvC board, just unscrew and unplug your MVS board and plug the SvC board instead. Personally, I would wait to see if a SvC MVS cart is released or not because removing it each time you want to play another game will become quickly annoying. Nowadays, apart from rumors, nobody knows if it will be released as an MVS cart or not. But it should soon be known...

3. Many consider Ultimate 11 as the best soccer game. It's the best graphically in the Super Sidekicks series but there're other great soccer games. Anyway, you couldn't be disappointed with this one. (I got only Super Sidekicks 2 as soccer game, which's pretty old but still very fun!)

I've only seen one cab that couldn't fit a 6 slot board easily, but any cab can take any board, you just might have to get creative as to where you put it.

As for Ultimate 11, I am sure just about everyone here will agree it is one of the worst in the series, Super Side Kicks 3 or 2 is probably the best... I kind of like the Tecmo World Soccer 96... fun arcade soccer... but, to each his own I guess.

As for KOF2K2 or SvsC... I really recommend skipping both right now. If you want a KOF grab 2000 for $60 or 2001 for $100. KOF games drop in price so quickly it is foolish to pay over $100 for them. SvsC will also drop quite a bit over the next few months.

I honestly recommend getting:

Last Blade or Last Blade 2
Real Bout Special or 2
Mark of the Wolves
etc, etc first before the higher priced new games. MVS drops in price so quick it is hard to justify getting them when they are new(er).
