The Super Spy for MVS ... Just arrived this morning for me.

 

[xsq]

why's your PSU tuned to only 4.9V?

 

[bubba966]

The UPS driver just showed up w/a SouthTown order. 15 more Shocks/inserts... So the shelving is currently looking like so.

Unfortunately I'm no good with a camera so that was the best shot out of a few taken. And I've got a dozen or so more to order for the rest of my carts. Time to get a new cart going @ SouthTown.

No idea. I'm using an ATX 650w PSU. I tried another molex plug from the same PSU and its now reading 5.0v. Go figure.

Looking good! I need to buy shock boxes, Do they do discounts if we group buy?

When Big Bear used to sell the shockboxes he used to give great discounts. I remember paying like $70 shipped for 10 or like $110 for 20 or something, good luck with ST.

Longtime lurker, first post here. Just recently scored some relevant gear, and I hope to learn from all the gurus here.

Walked into a local store last week looking for a JAMMA harness, unexpectedly came out with a CPS-2 Super Street Fighter II A+B boards for $50:

Received these yesterday: CPS-2 Marvel Super Heroes (dirty casing and damaged stick, but works fine) A+B boards, and 1/12-scale Vewlix cabinet model kit:

I dunno. I've not heard of any GB's for them. But I've only been buying them for a month & a half...

 

[SNKorSWM]

When Jasen Hicks was selling these shock boxes, he would offer discounts. I only ordered 20 and the discount already put it under 7 bucks a pop.

very nice, but isn't puzzle bobble and bust a move the same game?

Yes. That was me being a dumb noob. Not realizing that they were exactly the same game I bought BAM when I found out my PB had problems with the audio on my MV1C. I thought BAM would be slightly different and maybe not have the same issue. Yeah...

Some nice starter games there for sure, SSK2 is a great soccer game! I prefer the original so if you like the sequel be sure to pick up that one too!

 

[scrubsy]

My ebay get. $200 shipped. Not the greatest price, but I am happy with it and plan to tear it up this weekend.

GohanX had his package delivered today so hopefully he posts up in this thread.

 

[fluxcore]

Just received the following:

Korean AES, 2 sticks, Cyber Lip (JP), Samurai Spirits (JP insert [katana battle action game!] with english SamSho manual, huh???), AoF, and FFS.

The other images I've seen of Korean AESes have the korean writing above NEO-GEO (which is in silver), this one does not, but does have the VIC-A in the top right corner:


And the label on the back:

No serial number (boo), DC 10V 1A. I'm guessing the seller supplied a non-official adaptor, because it says 12V 780mA. A little worried about that one - I might try a Megadrive 1 adaptor (10VA 1.2A) instead.

Peering through the cart slot I see a 3-6 pcb version number.

Other oddities, the AV cable that came with it is a 5-pin DIN terminating in 4 wires (black, white, red, yellow). Might bust out a multimeter before plugging those in - I think one must be +5V from the pinout, don't want to get the wrong one.

One of the sticks is a lot looser than the other, might need some new microswitches or spring or something. The other one feels quite good, however both the plugs are a little mashed and need a bit of TLC.

I intend to chuck a unibios in this, maybe put some line out stereo ports too, I guess it'll need a 60Hz mod too. After searching here, I see more questions about Korean AESes than answers, so if anyone wants PCB pics or whatever, I can do that.

For now I'll be using composite, but end game is to connect it up to a GBS-8200+SLG combo. From what I understand, I'll need to do some sync stripping for the RGB, but I can't find an LM1881n locally

Oh, and the bundle was the rough equivalent of $260USD. I'm a little disappointed by the cables situation though. But nuts to all that, I have an AES!!

Just where the hell in Montreal did you find this? I can't PM you, for some reasons.

that's probably the reason.

So jealous.

Sorry, should've specified: only the SSF2 A+B was local; the stuff in the Marvel Super Heroes picture came from online from various sources.

So jealous.

Jealous of me having a local store that carries JAMMA harnesses? Bah, don't be. The store mainly stocks parts for pinball, foosball, air hockey, pool tables, etc. They have a VERY small selection of arcade-related stuff, so mostly American/Happ-style things, with a handful of Sanwa parts as well, but that's about it. I rarely ever go there anyways, primarily because its only open for business Mondays to Fridays, 9am to 5pm.

I got lucky with the CPS-2 SSF2; I was talking to the owner of the store about kick-harnesses since he didn't have any JAMMA harnesses in stock, and since he said he wasn't familiar with kick harnesses, he pulled out a CPS-2 set from under the table to ask me to clarify for him. Turns out he was just holding onto it for an old friend who used to be an operator, so I asked if it was for sale. A phone call later, he asks for $50 for the set, and his friend comes over with a JAMMA harness for me. Really lucky score on my part, but I don't think this is a regular occurence there.

I will when I get a chance, I was busy putting your system back together! Tonight I'm planning on modding a Tekken Hybrid TE stick for use on the Neo (it's all black with no logos, perfect.) Pics will come eventually!

Sweet! What kind of stick / buttons did you use?

 

[GohanX]

The Tekken Hybrid is a limited edition Madcatz TE stick, so it's got all sanwa in it. It's completely black, except for a Namco logo on the side, and looks like sex. It's a fingerprint magnet though.

Not mine:
