Interesting setup you have there. You better keep your car locked up tight though.

You are both insane and wealthy, and that is a dangerous combination.

In other words, I'm jealous.

Neo Geo AES is MOBILE!

ok, you guys asked for it ...


My Neo Geo AES is now MOBILE!
Everybody knows that the Neo Geo AES is BIGGER, Badder, and Better!
And my spare Neo Geo Gold System needed a new home.


Where did I put it?
I lifted up my tire compartment door, and took out the tire!
Say goodbye to Mr. Tire! :D

I put the Neo Geo AES System in, but the system and the games
were rattling around too much. I needed something else ...

So, I brought out my Blue Neo Geo Duffle Bag!
And it fits perfect in my spare tire compartment.
I can even zipper it closed to keep the dust out.


Wires and Connections
The power plug, audio/video, and custom DB15 joystick cables
run to the left bottom corner of the bag and then under the floor board
to the "Atomiswave compartment". (I spliced and created custom
DB15 joystick cables connecting both the AW and AES to the Old Style Joysticks)

From here, I plugged the AES into the Power Inverter (it has 2 outlets),
and I got a splitter for the RCA cables (for AW and Neo at the same time).


Where am I going?
Hey Shawn, Curt and Xtoo! I'm coming to your houses on a Road Trip! :D
(I bought the rare "Blue Bag" from Curt, and a BIG lot of games from all!)

This is what my trunk looks like after the install:

...so what happens when you get a flat tire?

Sweet setup though. Btw, I would NOT reccomend trying to run voltage directly through the cigarrette lighter. The DC voltage from your car is a "dirty voltage" meaning it moves around quite a bit, and you need to have something to reduce the peaking of the voltage so you don't fry your components. I'm not quite sure how bad it is with the newer cars, but on my 87 volvo, it's pretty damn bad... just take your multimeter, and check the voltage while reving the engine, and you'll see what I mean.

This is great!

It also shows why we need some sort of wireless joystick solution...

Why not get an old Beetle or a Kombi, if you're going to have a VW? I guess that would be harder, as they don't have the screens already installed, like newer cars do. Most of the newer VW's are just clones of every other car on the road (no offence intended).

Do you own a really old car? If not, why not?
