Interesting MV-1B with custom board and flex cable design. This might be the first I've seen with case mold directly copied from an AES.

China certainly has the means to pull it off on the cheap because I know we in the US sure didn't/don't especially now with the price of oil going through the roof...
I read a member stating they didn't really care for it because it's a direct copy of the AES where I believe it should have been at least MVS red..oh well, may have to give this a look see up close myself. as I have been very pleased with the design/quality of some other items I purchased....price is a little steep whereas the other stuff I purchased was nowhere near that cost but....

Actual home systems don't exactly use the highest quality plastic, maybe it's a solid reproduction.

The tweet has some replies showing the inside. There's actually some kind of impressive engineering going on to make the MV-1B fit, and the USB controls. (Personally I'd prefer the control ports in the right place.) I guess I'm out of touch, but I thought $320 was kind of cheap at today's prices compared to the other CMVS options available. I was originally somewhat interested in the Omega MVS due to its AES-like design, but this is much closer.

Home consoles usually use some kind of ABS, but going by those pictures it looks like some kind of resin mould.
I certainly wouldn't want to test its mettle on purpose or accidentally. Ugh.

Tacky bootleg crapola. I’d rather have a rusty steel box. Fuck this fake ass shit.
If anyone can source a large supply for eBay the collectards will loooooove it.

Would be better if mvs carts themselves looked nicer. They're pretty no frills. I want to see that sweet aes artwork on my carts.

…they were made to go into an totally closed arcade machine…30 years ago. There weren’t any collectards back then for them to impress.

i like the “it’s too expensive” argument, like y’all weren’t paying more for less in a project box.
We’re probably not too far out, since they’ve moved on from the MV1C.

Bought a consolized 1B in 2018 for 180 € shipped on Aliexpress. Runs fine.

It’ll be interesting where prices go once the surplus runs out

Sorry, I hadn't noticed the $68 shipping to the US. That's pretty steep.
The Neo is already full implemented in FPGA, so it's only a matter of time before Analogue or someone makes an FPGA Neo Geo clone.

True I guess, but if you're an MVS collector like me, you don't mind. I'm just happy to have the look of an AES console. The AES design is simply my favorite console, bar none.
