OK I am brand new to this site and I wanted to say hello. I am starting my 1st arcade restoration project and it is with a Neo Geo MVS-4 25 cab.
This will eventually be a MAME cab but don't flame me just yet, I am restoring this NEO GEO MVS to look exactly as it did in its glory days before some a-hole turned it into a lame special forces elite lightgun game. SO that being said I would appreciate any help that anyone has.
I want to try and make this thing as authentic as possible with certain limitations.
- I am not drilling holes to suit a street-fighter setup, 4 buttons per player is fine by me. I want this thing to be identical to the way it looked originally.
- I live in Germany and getting a wells garner (Zenith original) monitor shipped is pretty much not possible so I am going to install a 25 " TV tube.
I have a 1.7 P4 with a geforce 5200 AGP and 1.5gb of ram. Lots of HD.
- I need any advice on the specifics of TV mounting, which buttons and joysticks are authentic. Repainting, mounting, electronic wiring.
- Is a Arcade VGA worth it for Svideo output to a TV.
- I will be needing to get a new control panel layout that matches the original.
- I am also trying to find credit LED's and how to interface them with MAME.
- Don't worry I will use the search function and study each step before I do anything (ie discharge a TV) but I am just saying hello and if you have any words of wisdom let me know.
_ I have attached pics of the cab. Brace yourself for what some loser did to this once beautiful MVS cab. Other than that it is in good shape.
-Don't worry I make it look the way it should. NEO FO' Life
This is the hole they made for the lightgun, would a big button mapped to the ESCAPE key be the best? Any thoughts?
This is what it will look like when I am done with it. I just need some help.
I like the color of the competition's here but are they authentic, this is a pic of my friends real MVS-4 25"
