There are some games that I want that are unreleased on the home system but are on MVS. So what parts do I need to supply someone with to get them converted? For example one game I want is Neo Mr. Do.

All you really need is the MVS game and the Sac cart.
For Mr. do you need....
FF2
Super Sidekicks 2
or you can use these as well.
FFS
KR
Super S 3
Samsho
WH 2

i did my own using Super S 2 and it came out perfect, but any of the above will work.
So you basically suply MVS game and Sac cart and I charge $75 plus the art ($10-$25)
I done a lot of MVS convertions.
email me if you want info on other MVS games, so i can tell you what sac carts you need.

Does the cart you sac really matter? I don't know the difference between these games technically but someone told me they could use any game as a sac and it would work. They would just buy the cheapest cart they could find. Is that true or is that just bs?

Yea, you can use just about anything you want. However, old games like Baseball Stars (the first generation of games) are not going to work since the chips will not physically fit on the boards. These old boards used 32 pin 8 bit roms for the sound chips, where later boards all use 42 pin/16 bit rom chips.

My price is the same as NeoGeo2k2's ($75 - includes return shipping) and the insert/sticker is $15 for the set.

I posted a sac cart list a while back and nick_th_fury was nice enogh to post this on his site.

Take a look and you'll see what you can use. These are just general recomendations. If you have something particular you want to use, just ask and someone will let you know if you can use it.

!Arcade! should be posting a FAQ on conversions someday if you want to attempt it yourself. I've also been guiding a few people via e-mail, so if you want to try it and hit a snag, just drop me a line.
