Hi, I'm sooo new to this, I have really no idea at all. Being a lover of the MVS while I was growing up, I now want to purchase one for myself. I live in Australia which doesn't help.
So I'm looking at putting together my own MVS system.

What I'm looking for is as much NOOB information I can get. I've already read through alot of the information on this site and I downloaded the Neo-Geo manuel from KLOV, but I need clarifications. I have no idea what 'JAMMA' is. Is there a difference between Cartridge games and Circuit Board games. And if so, which is more popular and the easiest in finding (I've noticed most games available are Cartridge)? I also have no idea which motherboards to use and what else is needed in maintaining a working machine.

This is all I have to go off. It's a company in Sydney. And this is what I'm looking at purchasing. (I hope none of you snake it now)

Any information would be really appreciated. I have no idea, but learn fast, and I just need to know what I'm doing and what's what before I go and purchase anything.

Regards.

Owning a cabinet is awesome. It feels so good to look out in your home and see an arcade cabinet(s) and sit and play all day long. Congrats and welcome to the forums.
