    I've now a few MVS Carts in my collection. Would be nice to have some cases to store them and maybe hold (inserts) cover art.

    Anyone know a decent source for them ?

    Yep, theyre called neo mini boxes. A guy in italy makes them along with printed spines.

    Come flat pack so postage aint bad either.

    They look great!

    Here's an AO link for them, chaps name is JackisBack. You won't fit anything else inside them but the cart though, a perfect fit.

    She's a nice neat little unit alright. Scrubbed up well :)

    If I ever get to a point where I have to choose between keeping that or my Pony III - well, it'll be my own Sophie's Choice :(

    Any idea why the buttons are laid out like that?I would of thought they'd be in a line.
    does it have a change game button too?

    It seems that some earlier, small SNK cabs have that button layout. Must have been the way they were before they put them in a line. It's oddly comfortable!

    No game changing button on mine (this is designed for the single slot, it's pre MVS 4 slot systems) or LED credit display - my one is one of the very first SNK candy styled cabs I believe, before the 'neo geo' and 'MVS' tag lines started being used.

    The ones you see which are more common (and newer) are the MVS-U4. They developed on the design of my one and turned it into a 4 slot, added the credit display/game select button/headphone jack.

    Nicer cab than my one, but much more common and not nearly as rare, therefore not as cool :D

    How come every thread derails into A&R porn here ? Lol :D

    Not complaining, just wondering. Sick freaks, me included ;)

    Subliminal messaging to convince as many people as possible to import candy cabs :D

    Do it do it do it do it :D
