Just a few questions that I have, as I am new to the whole arcade owning aspect. I have had this strange fascination with the Hyper Neo for quite some time, mostly based around my time playing the port of Fatal Fury Wild Ambition on PS1.

I basically want to own the hardware so that I can play the fighters on the system. I am aware there are two hardware revisions. It seems that revision 2 is the version to get.

My question is, since I move around a lot, should I build a Super Gun, or consolize the system. Any ideas?

Consolizing a Hyper 64 is retarded. The fighting mobo only has 4 games to choose from, driving only 2 games and shooting only 1 game.

If the Hyper had 20 games then I would have consolized one for myself but with only 4 titles it's best to build a supergun.

You're rob's friend, right? I found the remains of my first supergun build. It was designed for neo geo old style sticks and used a MAS encoder with svideo and audio hookups on board. All it needs is a PSU (I think I have one somewhere I can sell you for cheap) You can have it for free it you want it. It's pretty crude in design, but it was functional and I used it with my hyper.

I would put it on wheels before I'd consolize it. Add a handle and drag it around like a wagon.

Yeah...the hardware just seems to be not quite popular, but I have like I have mentioned I am sorta intrigued by it.

It would be cool to collect from a hardware perspective, but that actual games are garbage imo. You can get a mobo with all the games pretty cheap these days.

I think it's cool hardware for sure. I had fun with a few of the games but haven't broken it out in a while.

It's built like a tank.

Instead of consolizing it you can always just enclose it and have the jamma edge exposed or relocated to use with your supergun.

Yeah, those are all great suggestions. I am going to probably scoop up the motherboard soon, along with the games.
