That is definitely the most highly modified aes I've ever seen but I'm not that keen. For a start it needs two psu's to power it! If he'd used an older aes he could have wired up the mobo to the +5v on the arcade psu. I don't like the joystick sockets for the supergun being loose. There was a modded aes on ebay last week which had new joystick sockets installed and I'm sure if he'd done this it would be possible to use the same ones for the aes and the supergun. Also that power supply is a beast! It's all very well having everything nice and tidy in the aes shell but when you need a dirty great arcade power supply it doesn't look so nice.

Nice idea and a good bit of work but I'd rather keep the aes and supergun seperate. I bet it won't sell for as much as it's worth either, after all that work has been put into it.

That modification is underwhelming. I'd take the two cars over this trolley for obvious reasons. A better modification would be to introduce playability of NGH carts in a Jamma environment like the console ARCADE! had slated to be released back in 2001,everything all fitted in one professionally constructed enclosure.

It's cool, but it seems that all he's really using inside the AES is the NeoBitz board. IMO it would have been less complicated to build the NeoBitz into an external box with the NeoBitz itself, all the outputs, and a port for RGB input. Then it could be used with a supergun and the NeoGeo. But of course it won't be an "all in one" system. Sort of gimmicky but still cool.

Wow!

My hats off to the tech! Incredible work, but an incredibly inelegant solution.

Makes an AES with a Phantom look economical and elegant. :D

:eek:

Respect to the amount of work put into it, but I'll stick to my cab.

I have been working on better solution for some time (1 1/2 years) .... But With everything else, I havent' had time....

I'll tell you that this project looks like shit compared to what I've been working on.

I kept quite about it for the first 6 months, but I've even been talking more open since I don't plan to do it for quite a while.

I even offered to give Dbarret advice on how to do it.

I highly recomemnd that someone makes a better one than this one.

D-Lite, are you game?

Fish's Plans:

1. Get rid of that stupid Jamma Connector and switch to a D-Sub 25 and a 6 Pin Din. Run those wires to a Mini-SG.

2. Controller ports on the AES work with the Supergun

3. Support for Atomiswave with a Modded AES stick.

4. Mode Switch, test switches, RGB Controlls on the mini SG.

5. Modular PSU.
