    Metal Slug 2 CD Turbo Released: Slowdown Reduction Patched

    I mentioned this in the MS2 Slowdown Reduction thread but it really deserves its own thread. Raz was able to apply system11's MVS/AES eprom patch to Metal Slug 2 CD and has made it publicly available. Here's the release thread with more info, and here is a direct link so you don't have to...

    Neo Geo CDZ - No Video Output

    I picked up a CDZ that has no video output. Its RGB is detected and switched to by my scaler but it just produces a black screen. Composite does nothing at all. From what I've read, bad video can be related to CXA1645. Is this likely the case with mine?

    Gone: FREE MSH vs SF CPS-2 Original Front Label

    Update: This has been claimed by ElectricGrave :D I used a hair dryer to remove the label from my suicided multi-cart donor, and it came right off. I thought that I would have trashed it in the process, so instead of tossing it I stuck it to label paper and put it aside for someone. It's free...

    Update: This is sold. Xian Xi graciously sold me a new jammaboards Jamma-2-MVS adapter for $26 shipped, but it turns out that I don't need it. I'll pass it on to someone for the same price. SOLD

    Neo Geo CD: TA7805S Equivalent to lower internal temps?

    I replace the 7805 in Super Nintendos with a OKI-78SR, which gets rid of almost all heat inside the console. Is there a similar direct-replacement for the NGCD's TA7805S? I know that the voltage handling is more complex in the CD, so I'm probably overlooking something. It would be nice to get...

    Homemade Holo Labels

    I came across this Pipilio holographic adhesive film and took a shot at making some holo-style labels. The paper is about $3.00 after shipping (though you'll have to request USPS 1st class from customer service). The labels do look like some kind of genuine product that once existed, but the...

    Metal Slug 5 Boot

    I gambled on a $25 buy-it-now Metal Slug 5 on eBay and it turned out to be a boot. I took some pictures of the board while cleaning it, so I might as well post them for posterity's sake.

    Cleaning CPS2 B-Board PCBs

    My normal method for cleaning PCBs is to use simple green and a toothbrush, followed by a wash with warm water. Is this OK for CPS-2 B-boards, or would that risk suiciding them? Update: I've read in a few places that CPS2 boards should not be cleaned with water because, as I suspected, it could...

    New Cart Labels: 161-in-1, 138-in-1, MS2 Turbo, Shock Troopers

    I made a few high-quality cart labels by combining elements from a few templates that are floating around. The "Original" labels are direct replacements. Use "MVS Cart Size" if you have moved the PCBs to a stock MVS cart. Here is a zip with Paint.NET templates and full-res TIFs. Below are...

    CPS-2 A Board Capacitor List?

    I tracked down a CPS-II A&B board (Blue US MSvsSF, thanks kitkit!) and will be replacing the A's caps, battery, and fan when it arrives in a few weeks. Does anyone have a list of the A board's cap values on hand? I'd like to see if I have them all on hand, and place an order for those that I...

    WTB: Die-Cut MVS Cart Labels

    Does anyone sell quality die-cut MVS cart top labels? I need two 161-in-1 labels and one for Shock Troopers. I've spent a lot of time and effort trying to print my own and they just turn out looking amateur. At this point I'd like something professional to match the rest of my carts.

    SC200 Power Supply: Help Request

    I picked up an old SC200 PSU and am trying to troubleshoot it. It's putting out 12V on the 5V line, and 0V on the 12V line. My SC200 is by Lancity, but appears to be identical to the Ault. I've already recapped it, with no change. Also, the adjustment dial inside only changes the output by +/-...

    Help Request: Neo Geo MVS Art for Qanba Q1 Joystick

    I'm working on an MVS overlay for my Qanba Q1, and wanted to know if someone more experienced with design could lend a hand. With my limited design skills, it's just not coming together very well. If anyone would like to lend a hand, I'd be extremely grateful and would give credit when I post...
