Have you thought about a pc interface and play outrun 2 through that instead? You would have 100+ other 270 degree racing games.

That's what I did with ridge racer cab. Naomi would be even easier as all you need to interface is the wheel, shifter and buttons (uhid). Audio and video is already pc plug and play.

18-10-2019 06:52PM

No that’s pretty much plug and play, uses a Chinese flash to load the game from, same setup in mine and the price is pretty good too I think I paid more although Iam not sure about shipping a chihiro from China, although in fairness yanton is ok to deal with should there be any problems and he normally wraps everything in a living rooms worth of cheap underlay

first thing you should do with chihiro is change the fans as there notorious for going and killing the gpu

geotrig · 18-10-2019 07:14PM

It's quiet a bit cheaper than most to be fair and would be tempting if .... I'm never comfortable buying from Yanton for bigger priced items like these though , although most stuff is OK.
Check the supercap asap if you buy it...

I must check mine. O_O

Can't really see on my phone but are the screws Rusty inside.

geotrig · 19-10-2019 09:54AM

I think I've bought 3 things off Yanton over the years and said I wouldn't again although was tempting when he was breaking cabs.... Last time I bought off him was circa 2006/07 ish.. All where mvs carts and I don't remember him carrying as much as he does now .now Im always more suspicious of clean boards and for me the grubbier the better... But nothing came close to these ones ,one was smashed to bits one was the dirtiest cart and pcbs I've ever seen and the other was alright.... I got rid of the manky one asap as even after a clean it was still manky. Lol

If anyone fancies a few repair boards I put up an ad in the marketplace

beejee · 22-10-2019 06:07PM

Once in a lifetime chance to get the grailiest of grails for Mvs neo geo, up in marketplace

Kidchameleon · 22-10-2019 10:08PM

That was a great price for P De Pon, very generous.

Jack burton · 24-10-2019 07:53PM

Anyone have a good lead on a working naomi 1 motherboard, been searching and asking but come up empty handed so far

beejee · 24-10-2019 07:56PM

Theres nothing more exciting than a bunch of cardboard boxes, but I do like arcade art and its mostly forgotten about at this point, flyers and marquees. So, another bunch done

Should have something far more interesting incoming though (in other words, sometime in 2024 at the rate I go).

03-11-2019 04:58PM

Nice I’ll add to the cardboard box pics lol.. got these done up locally for my mvs stuff as the loose carts weren’t doing it for me and the shockboxes are crazy expensive when shipping and customs are accounted for, only a small run this time but might get a bigger load next and offer them up if there’s interest.. boxes are a little bit bigger than kit boxes but hold a kit snug I’ve also some anti static bubble envelopes on order to hold the loose carts

Kidchameleon · 03-11-2019 05:15PM

Very nice indeed. I have actually been making them in batches out of Ikea boxes but would be interested in hearing where you got those made? Would it be possible for me to say, send my measurements and they would make them up?

Anyhow, I don't get the appeal of those shockboxes or why they are so bloody expensive. I have two of them and yeah they are nice n all, but I definitely prefer the real MVS boxes. The shockboxes try too hard to look like the AES boxes.

03-11-2019 05:41PM

Local paper bag factory made them up for me Iam sure the boxes are standard size that they use but i can always ask them for custom sizes although for a small run I’d imagine it wouldn’t be cheap.. these are 25 x 20 x 6 so a little bigger than a kit box, the kits sit nicely in them, what ikea boxes are you using?

Oh I mean I am using the cardboard that furniture comes in (the family are on alert to keep the cardboard from any Ikea purchases). Its the exact cardboard the original kits use. I have measured an original kit box and have been making replicas. They are a little rough around the edges, it would be nice to do the same thing but have them machine produced.

Proper curation going on here

Quick walk through of the new arcade.
Just moved in 4 months ago. This room is getting rewired at the weekend so it's going to be a bomb site for a few weeks.

Video didnt attach. Will do it tomorrow when I'm at the pc.

That looks really class, well done!

Reminds me of a games room you'd see in country pubs back in the 90s.

14-11-2019 11:43AM

Cheers,
The place is fubar right now.
Its being rewired,I had to cut chases into all the walls for all the new sockets/switches.
There is 3 controlled socket circuits so I can switch on all the games from the wall :cool: or from my phone!

Only in eddhorse's comment above unfortunately, had a quick look online but didn't see anything.

It's a complete mess of a story. Unless you had bags of money, nobody missed anything.

Still opportunity, so will keep things mysterious until get a few others here in on it. Big "maybes" at this point though

This,
IMO its not a raid unless you get a disgustingly good deal.
