thanks for that, not prepared to risk it with soldering so i would be looking at sending it off... probably not worth it money wise

Can we get an update on controllers?

I just finished the programming for the memory card disable on the new NBM. It still needs more extensive testing but the proof of concept part is done. Now I can go back to programming the usb portion of the joystick. Once the proof of concept is done, I can start cutting metal. While that's being done, I can clean up the code if necessary to make sure there isn't any lag or any other issues that can ruin game play.

Would be there any objections to mapping the kick buttons to the 3 output ports on the db15 connector? This would allow you to play games that require a kick harness on a supergun setup if you plan to use the dongle.

2, 9 and 10? Perfect.

Yeah.

I do them as:

2 - Short
9 - Forward
10 - Roundhouse

Since im not a tech head and have no clue of what you are talking about i have to ask. Would this in any way make a difference for normal use of the controller? would it perhaps make a difference if you go ahead and decide to make a wireless dongle set for the controller?

Would I have to get a new board for the memory card disable? Is this programming have to do with the memory Ram itself? I have the Omega VMC right now. Can't wait for the new joysticks; but willing to wait for a great product.

According to my notes, that's the same scheme I have planned.

Not really. The pins are currently unused so nothing would happen if you pressed the extra buttons while hooked up to an omega.

You would need to get a new NeoBiosMasta as all the code is run off a CPLD that is not present on the current revisions.

shadowkn55, your inbox is full. I've tried sending you a PM regarding my sync issue.

shadowkn55 · Jan 19, 2014

Made some space. Go ahead and resend the message.

You almost need lube to get a multicart in there, which is just as well since it will put unecessary stress on the cartridge port anyway! haha.

Need to do some filling to the connector on the multicart for a good fit: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?222475-161-in-1-Game-Breakdown/page26

I just wanted to second that this should be the pinout. It's what James has pushed for a while, and because of this, I know myself and many other have adopted it for six button sticks.

Im way too scared to go anywhere near it with a file. im too clumsy.

Quick question, I just got my Omega, but there seem to be some video issues when outputting via SCART/RGB to my XRGB Framemeister.

Please see video:

Any ideas what is going on? Thanks!

shadowkn55 · Jan 24, 2014

You need to adjust the sync settings on the xrgb mini. Turn off sync mode and play around with the sync level. Start off around 16 and slowly go in either direction until the picture stabilizes. The value can vary depending on the tv.

Got it, thanks! Love the Omega!

And turn on the scan lines.

Mr. Mort · Jan 24, 2014

I got my Omega about a month ago, and there's really nothing else to say that hasn't been said in this thread already. Outstanding quality. From the design to the materials, the customer service, to performance, I couldn't be happier. The picture quality is outstanding on my CRT using component.

I'm new to the Neo-Geo. After seeing one for the first time in 1991, I finally got my hands on this elusive system. I've only been able to afford a few games, but I'm loving it. I'm actively on the hunt for WindJammers and Bust-a-Move Again next.

Oh, and Neo Drift-Out is the shit.

If you're thinking about the Omega, you cannot go wrong. Period.

How about diagonal? It'll go nicely with the tate and yoko options with xyx.

Larrabee · Jan 25, 2014

For anyone that wants another video look at the Omega, I can help you out: http://backinmyplay.com/omega-consolized-mvs/

Edit: Now that I have a controller, here is a more in depth look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcYTbRW-aZc

I also interviewed shadowkn55 for a special episode of Back in my Play. Should be up mid week.

If you do this make sure you set V_WIDTH on your xrgb mini up 1 to 33 which fixes the uneven lines
