Shame, I was hopping someone would give me some tips on what I can do to fix my AES.
Send it to Xian Xi

I don't know, I would think about it but he seems to be going through some kind of crisis with his "closing up shop" topic. I'd figure it'd be rude if I just PMed him saying "Hey that's too bad your going though some trouble right now, btw fix my AES kthanksbye."
Also, does he really live in Hawaii?
Well that's good to know, what does he normally charge for composite cable repair and Unibios upgrading?That's the whole point of him thinking about closing shop is that business is too slow, having him to fix it will be helping.

Received my first CMVS not long ago; a Xian Xi original made a few years back. I adopted the console from another member on the forums and am pumped to start playing the NG library.
Huge props to Xian Xi for generously updating the video-out according to the PVM Scart Cable I purchased, free of charge.
I actually really appreciate the clean, compact project box used for the console. Completely reasonably priced, minimalist, and durable.
I thought i'd take some quick photos and show off this classic Xian Xi build!
Hi, this is my first comment in the forum, and would like to present my CMVS NeoGenesis.
not too bead, clean drilling and all. But damn, I dislike it when people solder unto the JAMMA-Edge, there's better points for that and reversible too.
I'd be worried if I stuck the encoder on top of the chips, don't they at least need a little ventilation? Maybe I'm overly anal though.
Yeah, you're right. Still, being able to swap out the board or use it in a cab at a later time seem like worthy advantages to me. The cabs are what these were made for and what I'd consider part of the MVS style. I agree with you that a board played is better than a board lying around to be "conserved" for whatever, the custom chips will fail all by themselves eventually. Aren't there other points to connect/solder to anyway? So the Edge (and the possibility to use the board inside a cab) can stay intact even though you consolize the board?Nothing wrong with soldering to the JAMMA edge in a CMVS. In fact, that's the way it's been done before these mass produced units. They were almost all soldered to the edge. In some enclosures that have enough room, a harness can be used but on others it's impossible. If you want a JAMMA connector to be used then make a supergun since in essence that's what you want in the end if you want to be able to use your board in it's native habitat. Consolizing is supposed to be something permanent for the board. If you use a quality board then you won't need to replace it.
MT, you have a thing for feet I've noticed. Any particular reason for the foot fetish? Serious question not trolling.
no functional practical purpose, it just looks good to me, in much the same way asthe large isolators
on some of the better late-1980's/mid-2000's japanese Audio-A/V gear do. it just looks "Right" personal preference, of course.
some excellent examples;
edited out stupid shit
- i still have the isolator feet on my SEGA GENESIS, -since i think they look swell-
but that mod actually began with a good practical reason; so the heavy MONSTER CABLE stereo minijack~L/R RCA cable
i was using at the time could be slung under the console, zip-tied along the underside ventilation slots,
because it took weight and strain off the consoles' PHONES jack, and it looked neat and clean;
edit: more unrelated crap
- today, however, i have my Genny modded for rear-mounted RCA output much like how i've done with the AES,
but without the fuck-ups in the body shell from in finding a suitable outlet for the cord that my AES suffers from...
