Howdy all!
I've been digging in deep these days to build out my console collection... I always prized my VirtualBoy for some reason, and was FINALLY able to get one in excellent condition.
After that, I felt a little lost, knew I needed MORE. I had always heard of Neo Geo, had played plenty of games over emulators, but never really understood the full existence of the console itself.
Finally looking into it much closer, I began to understand about its life, and the crazy crowd following it. Noticed prices were very high, trying to figure out what I could do! Saw lots of people buying the Japanese version, but even those I couldn't quite find what I was looking for.. and I was surprised at how many people were comfortable with Japanese language! Also heard about the UniBios, thought that was awesome, but had NO idea how I was going to accomplish that...
FINALLY one day, saw a decent listing go up, and managed to snag a US system with 2 controllers a 1 game for like $417. NO IDEA if that was good or not, but now I am overjoyed to finally own this epic system! No idea still about the talk about the serial numbers, but apparently this one is 000146, no idea if that's bad or good or what. Still so much to learn.
Quickly figured I needed to expand the game library, noticed the crazy collecting/prices going on, and the various strategies around trying to get your collection up without breaking the bank. I quickly ordered a MagicKey and awaiting it in the mail.
Anyways, this is an exciting time, glad to find this awesome community. Sounds like I have a long road ahead of me just getting into it now. :P

I purchased a mv1c and it arrived yesterday. I plugged it into my supergun (which hasn't had any issues with other jamma boards yet) but the image on the TV is bad, As if it was a VCR on really bad tracking (images rolling up and down, distorted, etc...) My supergun is self built, the video adapter I use is disconetinued, but it has composite and S-video outputs. I don't have any S-video cables and my TVs don't have ports for them. I plugged in my supergun using the composite cables
For good measure I plugged it into another CRT, but the issue is the same. I went into the neo geo tech support section and was surprised to find a "TV compatibility list"... Did I just get bad luck and both my CRTs don't work with my mv1c? or is there another issue? and if my TV is incompatible with my mvs, how come neo geo is so wierd and doesn't work when all my other boards work?
And again, if it's a TV issue, is there anything I can do barring buying a CRT that's known to work?
Hi!
Just found my way here, from Sweden, and I got my first AES (finally) and also a Egret 2 cab and some MVS boards.
As I now understand it is not unusual for these boards to fail. Got 3 boards and 2 of them are not really working properly.
I don't really know what it takes to make your own thread so I'll just have to hang around and wait for that magic to happen and my logic probe to arrive from China.
