Anyone tried one of these consolized MV1C boards w/ memory card reader?

First I've seen a memory card reader added to an MVS board not made for one. Timeharvest sometimes shows the internals of their consolizations, but unfortunately no images on this one. Definitely curious how they went about it.

Id like to see the inside of that thing to see how its connected.

Why use a memory card when you can use NeoBiosMasta VMC on these?

1. Memory card is portable, and you can move it to other boards/consoles if you have multiple
2. You can actually buy a memory card

Mmm I have never found a use for the mem card on a neo.

For me a season of Baseball Stars 2 that’s mostly it.

Anybody know a model number for the cabinet that all these China MV1C's come out of? Also would be interested in seeing how the io board connects for the db15/coin counters as well.

It's not the first time a memory card reader has been added to the 1C/1B.

It's great that someone is finally selling one. That's an ugly spot for it though. They probably have the reader sitting right on top of the 68K CPU (for the simplest implementation).

That's what I've been trying to say. Sure, some are fine with a VMC, but there's also a demand for the aftermarket memory cards (SaveMasta and the JGO one).

I'm sure they were used in generic jamma cabs. That's what all the MVS 1-slots were designed for except the first models.

I always hear this, but it's so wrong. It comes in handy for way too many Neo games to count. Difficult games like Magician Lord, Puzzle de Pon. The upgrades in AOF. The league mode in all the sports games. Riding Hero. The list goes on. Not to mention for capturing footage, it has saved me a lot of time.

Maybe they'll do a future run of those AES clone consolizations with a memory card feature added. I'm guessing that's a lot more expensive and time consuming to produce, though, having to do a new injection mold and overall redesign.

I still may grab one of these current ones. Takes up a lot less space than my MV2F + Supergun.

I would love that if the AES style one had a memory card slot on the front-right, but it would require a big redesign to make it fit.
