Nice! Truth be told, I actually like Castlevania Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps over Super Castlevania IV and Contra III. As for TMNT, is it a rarity on the MD? I know it's fairly uncommon on the Genesis. Either way, good games!

Contra Hard Corps is also on my want list of Japan MD games. I don't know if TMNT is a rarity but It is more expensive and harder to find than the U.S Hyperstone Heist version.
Thanks bro.

I know how you feel, I like the way Bloodlines feels, it's a lot snappier and it has much better music

Excellent additions RAZO! Good luck with getting Hard Corps -- it's not rare, but pricy. I do recommend El Viento & Alisia Dragoon, too, if you don't already have them.

Congrats on the Mega Drive pickups! Konami on SEGA doesn't get nearly enough love as it should. I will forever stand by the original Rocket Knight, what a freaking great game. I can only imagine if we'd gotten more original work out of them in the platform. Turtles is really great, but you can see pretty easily where they took quick shortcuts in the conversion.

My cart haul from yesterday.
One of the MS carts and the MS3 cart are both holos. The blank cart is a boot of MS5. I needed it for temporary use. I'll switch it out with a legit cart this week.

Several weeks ago, I picked up my first arcade board; a Neo Geo MV-1C with an obvious boot of KOF 2k2 (Super!) included.
Kinda wish the previous owners hadn't seen fit to etch that number into the plastic, but not much I can do about that.
The board itself appears to be in pretty good shape, my poorly-executed sound mod notwithstanding.
Having never messed with arcade hardware (outside of playing others' cabinets), I couldn't even test the thing, so I've been slowly gathering materials with which to test/play the thing.
The board in the bottom left fits over the Jamma edge connector, and provides screw-terminals for power/ground and video, as well as AES-compatible DA-15 controller ports. (The seller, it happens, had failed to solder the controller-port pins, but that was easy enough to fix once the fault was identified.) The power terminals are currently connected to a barrel socket for the power supply I'm using, a USB port to power a cheap pair of speakers, and the power lead for the right hand board: a GBS-8200. I know, it's not a good solution to getting video off the Neo Geo, but I was trying to get something quick which would Just Work. (Fat load of good that did - I had to seek out help to get it to stop showing still-frames of colorful garbage, as I couldn't navigate the default, Chinese menus.)
Again, trying to get something quickly which would Just Work, this was the only Neo Geo-compatible controller I could find shipping from the correct continent. And it sucks. Whomever modded it apparently didn't wanna bother exposing copper at unimportant points on the board, so the solder blobs actually impair the rubber's ability to lay flat, making certain buttons difficult to register. But it'll have to do until I get my hands on something better.
Between the controller ports, the controller, the sound mod, and some initial difficulties with the video converter, I've had a tumultuous time trying to turn this into something playable. But it does function, and that pleases me.

Hopefully that's the inside of his cab. That he plays dusty arcade games in, instead of worrying about label condition and how the carts would look on a shelf.

Haha, very true. If the game works, I'm good. I've been seeing a few people that are looking to repro a completely good legit label just because the serials were scratched off... I mean wtf is the point?!

Welcome to the world of collectards. Where cardboard boxes are conversation starters and Lisa Frank style holographics are highly sought after.

I've also seen people passing off shit condition labels as "great condition." What a world we live in.

Nice pickups there! Maybe when you want to go all out, you can buy yourself an Omega CMVS kit. Easy to install, and looks awesome
As for that SNES Pad, it is honestly never a good idea for controller mods. I say, if you got the time and money, mod a Sega Saturn controller instead. That's what I ended up doing anyways, bought a faulty one off ebay for cheap and modified it to work on my AES and MVS.
