I bit. I'm a sucker for Centipede and my arcade cabinet monitor is in dire need for a rejuve.

For sure. I'm definitely a CRT guy but my Centipede cabinet not only needs a rejuve but the cabinet itself is a wreck and in desperate need for a rebuild and I don't have the time nor ability to do it unfortunately.
I'm interested in seeing how the Asteroids one looks because it has a spinner for Tempest. The Rampage one doesn't have enough controls for Defender, how is that going to translate? Move using the joystick?

Yeah I bit on Asteroids and Tempest for that reason. I want to check out the Final Fight cab the most though. Supposedly there are a couple unannounced, they claim one "secret reveal". From what I've seen Ms. Pac/Pac man, Galaga/Galaxian may be a possibility

The clicky controls are a DEFINING FEATURE of the neogeo. This is a total fail in my book.

There's a Galaga/Galaxian one on Walmart for pre order.

Horimero-san had the right idea trying to get one of his arcade sticks to work with the neogeo mini (he also tried the neogeo x stick), but he didn’t have any success. Perhaps SNK has a replica of the aes stick planned for this unit. If they do, hopefully it will have the correct button arrangement rather than being switched around like the existing neogeo mini gamepads.

^ I watched that last night and maybe took a little to much joy in his disappointment on every stick he tried. What really surprised me is that he had an unopened ngx stick. ???

You can just buy them new from alixpress. They do register as the official Tommo one as well so it seems to be the ' real' deal. Crappy joystick and buttons though (have a set here)

Centipede is a big machine among collectors - im sure if you look hard enough online you'll find a wealth of resources and knowledge on restoring and maintaining it.

^This.
And do not throw it away by any means, if you don't have the time to take care for it, try selling it to someone who's knowledgeable about arcade machines and is passionate about this hobby: he'll put it back to great shape, you'll definitely get some good money from it and everyone's happy.

Points definitely taken. I am not looking to get rid of it, it's like one of those pet projects that I will eventually get to. If anyone knows anyone in the L.A. area that has a rejuvenator gun that will work with the Millipede monitor (it's actually a Multipede board) then I'd love a hookup. It's really nice with no burn, just has gotten so dim it's really hard to see unless it's pitch black in the garage.
I'm at work so I don't know the monitor off hand, but I did get it recapped a few years ago. Still dark.

I have several in my attic. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I pre-ordered the Steet Fighter. Hopefully these will be hacked quickly and easily.

Still may be worth the trouble once Polymega comes out.

The tommo ones are USB so doubtful that polymega would support that.

I pretty much got them because "hey, cheap USB sticks!" These days you can get a Mayflash USB stick for a song that's better in every way with the ability to install Sanwa parts if desired.

Yup, didn't we all expect a Linux (or Android) based box with a Neo Geo emulator? The big surprise to me is finding a MIPS CPU instead of an ARM one.
[EDIT]The Micron 29F32G08CBADB seems to be a 32GB Nand flash memory, so there should be plenty of space for a full ROM set.[/EDIT]

Looks like Tetris is on the mini-arcade bandwagon as well: https://shop.tetris.com/products/tetris-arcade-classics-mini-handheld-game
