Hi all, I have an MVS cabinet, and would like to run some jamma boards in it sometimes. Unfortunately I'm having trouble getting google give me good search results for running jamma in a MVS cabinet, most results give me the other way. The potentially damaging difference in the wiring is the...

Hey I know I make one of these threads every few months, but this time I've made actual, real progress! I bought a used 19" monitor off Craigslist, so now I'm going to ask some new questions. What do I need to know before I start swapping the old monitor out with the new one? Uh... there will...

$45 shipped, paypal only, US buyers only. System, controller, power supply, and some video cables. No games included. System has been modded to play imports. I'm looking for money right now, but if this doesn't move until after my next payday I'll put up a trade list. Video of it in action...

I'm building another supergun, which of course means I need another video encoder. I have the parts from Digikey to build the one here ( http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/28/how-to-consolize-an-arcade-game/ ), but then I realized I might have another option. Old game systems like the Genesis are...

I've been casually searching craigslist off and on for something I can use to replace the monitor in my cab and have had no luck the past couple months. Anyone have any good tips for getting a replacement monitor? For the short term I'm hoping to find a $30 or less solution for fixing this, but...

I accidently elbowed this when switching out a game in my cab. It made a hissing noise for a bit. I don't want to turn my cab on in case horrible things happen, anyone know how much I just fucked up?

Hey, so I'm expanding my search radius for buyers for stuff I want to get rid of to the NEO forums (don't worry you guys are awesome and are my first internet choice for sales, I was hoping for more local pickup bites). I have set up a Google docs spreadsheet (thanks to fakeXsound for this...

I'm trying to post a link to something at preview.tiny u r l.com, and it keeps stripping out the in the middle. Any help? I can understand blocking .com on the forums, but preview is different and shows you where you are going.

Hey, so I figured the NEO forums would be a good place to ask this because you guys sell shit online all the time. I have a large collection of stuff (gaming, non-gaming) that I want to sell / give-away. My current plan of attack was to more or less catalog a lot of it, then build a database of...

Anyone know where I can find one? Making one myself is kind of out of the question for now, I don't have room to do any work in my apartment. I made a thread on this a while back, but apparently this forum only has 3 pages now.

Not all horrible machines are MAMEcabs, sometimes a braindead arcade owner decides that his racing game isn't making him the fat cash it used to, and kids love Tekken, so you get this... Saw this at the Super Mall yesterday. What other horrible conversions have you guys seen?

Talking about excellent game music in the chat funneled into excellent game over music specifically. Total Distortion : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6iT-lMgfAI Lords of Thunder : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zplq8aDEVQ4 Daytona USA : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esx6kqauC9A Let's hear...

So now that I'm domesticated, I can't have the arcade cabinet pulled out a few feet from the wall to easily get in and switch out boards. Also, I don't have the time I used to for building stuff myself anymore, so I'm looking for good extender options. My cab is wired for JAMMA with 4th button...

I'm going to be moving in a few months, which of course got me to thinking about trimming the fat in my collection. I know many of you here do this, that's what a bunch of the threads in the for sale forums seem to be about. The problem I am noticing with this is... anything I don't want is...

hey so I figured I would share, I have met this man a few times and it was probably the most bizzare momemts of my life Kotaku even wrote an article on him http://kotaku.com/180532/link-alive-and-well-in-seattle-washington
