Questions about super guns

Hi everyone, im new to the whole Neo Geo world and dont know anything about building a arcade. Anyway im interested in building a mvs supergun setup and am pretty overwhelmed right now with all the products available and stuff. I was hoping for some advice like a link or something. Any help would be areciated.

By the way, im thinking about a mini gun from uberia and a 1 slot MVS.

that setup will work fine

I have never played around with arcade parts as of yet so I dont think im up to that yet. Does anyone know if its true that single slot MVS boards are having compatility problems with newer games? Thats probably a dumb question but thanks for youre help.

Yes there have been people saying the MV-1C is not compatable with some games like ROTD and a few others.

It looks like his MV1 is not working with a few of the newer games, perhaps these can be solved using the Uni-Bios......Im not sure about that.

Here is probably the most informative website regarding the various Neo Geo MVS PCB's:

As far as i know the only compatibility problems are with the game: Rage of the Dragons.

From your posts it seems like you would rather buy a Supergun then build one and i think this is a good idea if you aren't exactly familiar with some basic electronics stuff.

If you really want to get a MVS board i, like many others, would reccomend getting a 2-Slot motherboard. With a 2 slot you have a built in memory card reader as well as two headphones jacks. Combine that with a relatively cheap price for a 2 slot (around $150) and most agree it is the best board for those who want an arcade set up at home. The 2 slot also has a socketed BIOS which is good if you are interested in Purchasing the Universe Bios from Razoola.

If you haven't already check out some of the sites in my signature, they mostly deal with MVS and Supergun stuff (CPS2 shock has a nice supergun guide).

Hey, i just want to thank everyone who helped me and answered my questions, im sure you see them all the time.
