New Aliexpress Option for MV1B Memory Card Support

[Neo Alec]

Here's an interesting expansion board for MV1B boards that adds memory card support, and other things.

I wonder what would prevent this from working with an MV1C. Memory card support could be added with a much smaller form factor than this, but this seems geared more toward installing newer 1-slot boards in an MVS style cab (with memory card slot and credit LEDs).

I'm still interested to see if anyone buys one of these CMVSes with memory card support and can write up more information about what's inside:

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

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832664725151.html 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.

My MV1 has the connector for a memory card but I've never seen the harness or board for sale.

The MV-IC card reader is getting harder to come by these days. You can buy a repro here:

Neo Geo Card Reader and NVRAM – Neo Geo Led Marquee

They also had sockets that plug right in, but they're out of stock now.

Aliexpress also sells these things that plug directly in:

Oh very cool.
I'm understanding correctly that the AliExpress thing is basically a plug in and forgot memory card replacement?

Yeah. Like a VMC (Virtual Memory Card)
