Here it is! The consolized Atomiswave!

As some of you might now, our board member supergoose79, known for his great work on MVS consolization and supergun building, offered to consolize for free (that is you only pay costs) the first Atomiswave that was sent to him. I, Amano Jacu, decided to take profit of this offer and sent my Atomiswave to him some time ago. Finally, it arrived yesterday and it just rocks! Possibly, it's the first consolized Atomiswave in the world (and it might be the last one as well) and here we can see the results:



Side view. There are 2 controller ports compatible with Neo controllers as well as with my own modded controllers, and the ON/OFF switch.


Rear view. A db9 connector is used for the RGB video and sound output, designed to be used with a scart cable in an European TV. The power input is designed for a sc200 PSU through a din5 connector. There's also a LED that's on when the power is on



Of course, the AW still features the native VGA output in its front, so it can be used in a compatible VGA monitor.

I want to deeply thank Falk for his totally awesome work in this one.

Now, if only I could get my hands on one good game for this system...

EDIT: The pics here: http://home.arcor.de/supergoose/aw are down, I just put 2 I made myself.

That is the sweetest thing I have ever seen! OMFG, now I would like one.

Neogeo dead? Bah!, leave it to supergoose to revitalize even the atomiswave.

Damn fine work, damn fine work.

Awesome, although I saw these photos last week and I was more impressed then, hehe, very nice indeed, Supergoose will you marry me

That is NICE looks factory

That's some great damn work there, I'm very impressed by that.

Thats awesome man...now I want one. Good work supergoose79. Iam also impressed and though at first I thought it couldnt be done. Well you proved me wrong and I like it.

Congrats man!

...man that thing is Sweeeeeeeeeeet! With that set up even I would be tempted into purchasing one {if it came already consolized I mean}... and that "Demolish Fist" game just keeps calling to me. Going to go check out Dolphin Blue as I hear it's at a nearby arcade.

Back and forth trip to Unrelated.

Oh well, all the new SNK games are coming to the AW, the Neo Geo is getting no more games, the neostore sells AW games and this is considered unrelated...

WTF? Half the topics in News & Rumours are either about SEGA, E3, or Japhei.

How is this any less relevant?!

Anyway, awesome work 'Goose. Amano, you're a lucky guy. I'd kill to be able to play Rumble Fish at home.

Looks damn nice.
Eventually I will get around to buying an
Atomiswave. I like the fact that you can
plug it into a VGA monitor.

I see it, but I don't believe it.
See it. Don't believe it.
Its unbelievable.

I wish I knew how to make something like that...

Amano, it looks AWesome! Kudos to SG!

Just 2 questions:

And the 2 extra control ports, for GG Isuka, as example? It really needs extra hardware, or it could be built-in in the unit just like the 2 NG ports?

Considering that 5th button/select fact, you can plug a custom 5 button, AW-style controllers, right?

Is it me or do supergoose and I have the same taste in furniture and how to make use of them? (I also have that small table you can see on one of the pictures, in roughly the same place!)

See this

About the AW: I want one! When the good SNK games come out Nice job dude.

I think the key aspect of this system is that he can play all new Playmore releases with an Old Style Joystick. I mean, that just kicks serious ass.

there are 4 player aw games?

that looks sweet by why all the "i cant believe it" and "it might be the last consolized aw" coments? is there some sort of protection feature that makes consolizing them very hard, or is it similar to consolizing an mvs?

Yes, Guilty Gear Isuka is the first (and the only until now), as far as I know.

People are just TOO impressed how neat it looks like, that's all
'The last' just because nobody is sure if AW will float or sink in the market, IMHO.

Well Supergoose what said sometime ago that the conversion was pretty simple and main problem was housing all the wiring inside the unit.

SuperGoose, add some comments about it, please

I'm curious to see some inside pics if avaliable!

Sweet!!!!!

I knew it was only a matter of time before it happened. Atomiswave just looks like it should be a home system. Awesome work.

I don't like AW software and never will

but this is surely a fucking piece of artwork nonetheless
well.....after all goose79 made it
can't be wrong if you choose the german way

just came home from uni ...

it's basically the same as consolizing a mvs board, but there's very littly space inside. i had to drill/cut/mod a lot to be able to sqeeze the wires in there and got problems with the shielding, so i had to take it apart again. worked the 3rd time, i put it together ...

i'm pretty sure, that you won't see as many guys, who're willing to mod this system, since they can get more $$$ for waaay less work. that said ... i myself am not interested in doing another one unless i get a really tempting offer. i consolized Amano's system for free, because i wanted to test the system without having to spend any of my own money and when i first tried to put it together ... well ... i almost fucked up and paying $400 to $600 for a new system out of my own pockets would of sucked big time. fortunately, it worked again, after i put it back together to be able to send it off to my parents' place, so my dad could have a closer look at it ...

as for more pics ...
i lost most of the interesting pics, when i formatted my hdd last week. i burned all my important stuff twice, but my dvdrw drive doesn't read any of both discs anymore.
there ... however ... are a few more up :
http://home.arcor.de/supergoose/aw

as for this thread being moved to unrelated ...
i'd like to know, who did this. seriously.
i mean ... i can understand it and i've always been annoyed by all the uninformed atomiswave talk in gd, but with all of those other stupid topics up there ...
can only think of one very special person.

everyone knows it comes in the red casing right?

not to downplay this by any means, but everyone is orgasming over 4 ports, a switch and an led.

sure its great, and again not to bash or belittle, but it doesnt even have rgb->ntsc (which it really doesnt need, fucking europeans and your scart)

edit: im just saying this because people are only seeing the outside. im sure it was a lot of work to do this in the first place, but you dont get to see that. no hard feelings sg

oh, and when i clicked this topic in the first place, i was expecting to see this:

bah

I'd just connect it to a VGA monitor anyway

Very cool! When I first got my AW, I thought: This thing needs to be a consol!

Nice!

I was thinking about getting one too... But so far none of the AW games really interest.
... I'll seriously consider getting one if Samurai Shodown AW rocks (I hope Yuki is in charge for it)... Time will tell.
