im considering buying a neogeo sitdown cabinet but i have no idea whatsoever on how to go about this. what i wanna know is where could i obtain ng sitdown cabinets, the mvs (mvs is arcade right?) carts, and how much is like the normal price for this? does anyone know if theres a website that has information about the kinds of cabinets out there and boards and whats compatible with what? like kind of a "ng arcade cabinet" site for dummies with stuff with what i need to obtain one and maintain it? thanks

Yes any MVS game from any country will work on any board. MVS is the Neo arcade board and the carts it uses. Its just a format much like VHS is.

Yes no matter how many slots the board has you can play only one game or fill all the slots and cyclr through them.

Also the country the board [not the cart} is from dictates what language the text will be in during the game.

I bought my SC-19 candy cabinet from Jeff at arcae-infinity a few years back , great guys to deal with !

look at it here <a href="http://groups.msn.com/myneogeoandohtergames/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us" target="_blank">http://groups.msn.com/myneogeoandohtergames/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us</a>

good luck and have fun !

any questions just ask.

Yes, buy from Arcade-Infinity.com, they rock! Too bad MD Game Sales is stopping the sale of MVS carts by years end. I emailed him and he said that there was not enough profit margin for him to keep selling them. Oh well, you can also buy from the Neo Store right here at neo-geo.com.

games can vary from anywhere from 15 to the nice 1,500 like kof 2k2 was but thats only cause it just came out you sometimes have to wait a few months and then the newer carts will be in the lower 300 or 200 range. AES is the home console. If your looking for just cart dont buy full kits they can be pretty high priced. any questions email me I can help.

you can also look on eBay for MVS games..but watch out for Boot-leg copies of games...

but to be safe try buying from the Neo Store or from other board members
