Classic Game Room - WE BOUGHT A NEO-GEO part 3

[@kevgor138]

Dunno if anyone has said yet. But if you open the machine by the coin slot theres a lever u can click and it thinks u inserted a coin. Also on the left of the pgb board there are toggle switches and one is for freeplay, can't remember which but there are 4 slot manuals online. More convenient

[@abex701]

The 7th dipswitch is freeplay

[@niceguy60]

There almost a infinite amount of people who could have repaired such a very very very simple failure of ram on that board stateside

[@1shoryuken]

Luke morse is the man for technical knowledge of repairing consoles, the dudes videos have helped allot.

[@redcloudballgamingandarcad7071]

Goooooooo Luke you are a fixing Machine

[@Joolz1982]

So glad you got it working. Looks good hope the screen gets sorted.

[@plecebomc]

LUKE FOR THE WIN!!!!

[@santajimi]

Mark's dad FTW!

[@Steelebourne]

That humming from the speakers is the sound of those live animals plotting to explode from the machine! They just ordered some flamethrowers from your buddy in Japan, so check your boxes carefully!

[@evolruler]

i love your channel dude it brings me back when i was a kid

[@garion333]

You do know that Mr. Morris simply uses a flamethrower on the board and sends it back. It's magic!

[@Jamman88888]

so happy luke and mark did something together, 2 of my fav youtubers

[@Gambenoful]

I don't know if anyone has said it yet but the monitor just need to be adjusted. That rollover should be just a pot adjustment. Also, some times the 4 slot are funny and will not see a cart and the easy fix is to just pull them out and resit them. Hope this helps and congrats on your first NEO GEO MVS, I have 2 myself. great system.

[@playstationd78]

Luke is awesome and congratulations mark I wish you the best with your neogeo

[@AxeManAnthony]

I'm just glad it didn't burn up in the upper atmosphere upon re-entry.

[@demigodstarfluxx]

I am still waiting for part 4 of this series!!!

[@gamerplaygamecam]

I love how he was standing back and only using one hand on the controlles like it was going to blow up

[@JRBlood]

You're correct about the picture rolling. That's exactly what is happening. My TV repair knowledge is wicked rusty, however there should be a vertical shift that will move the screen down. Best get someone with at least some basic electronics knowledge to look for it to make the adjustment.

[@treepizzle]

Awesome show. Keep it up. I can't wait to see it at 100%

[@ScootsMcGirk]

You're probably right, but there might be a vertical size pot that can be tweaked before going through the trouble of replacing all the caps.

[@IHeart16Bit]

AWESOME :D Luke Morse is a great guy! His channel is ridiculously intersting, if anyone here hasn't seen his stuff you should :)

[@WatchDragon]

The Neo Geo i used to play on had fatal fury special, samurai showdown, Neo Geo League Bowling and metal slug. I miss it.

[@vintageclubjunkie]

I have a NEO GEO 4 Slot machine, myself. The voltage coming from the power supply usually needs to be exactly +5 volts... NEO GEOs in particular can be finicky about getting any variation from five volts. Check your power supply with a multimeter to see what your current voltage is and adjust the voltage pot/knob.

[@CaptainVideoBlaster]

Looks like the problem is with machines gizmotron.To fix it you will need passive ray phase driver. With that switch the ultrascan port diodes 1 and 2 from "optical array matrix" into "multi feed pulse" -stages. If that does not work, you might need to install beer holder into the machine.

[@JohnnnyJohn]

I don't know this Luke, but one thing I do know is that the force is strong with this one.

[@vintageclubjunkie]

You can also set your NEO GEO up for Free Play via the series of dipswitches on, I believe, the lefthand side of the board. Check a manual for which dipswitch needs flipped for your particular MVS board.

[@95ACM]

As mentioned by others, it could require capacitor replacement on the monitor board (cap kit) or the vertical adjustment needs some fine tuning. Find the small potentiometer knobs on the monitor or the remote board and get to work.

[@rockasoo]

I KNEW this was going to Luke Morse!! Love that dude!

[@thedentist888]

I've had the same thing happen to one of my TVs ( the top rolled over and started going down ). I couldn't find a fix, and eventually got rid of it. Hope you have better luck.

[@YoshMaster]

And hurray to Luke Morse, very nice of you to help Mark!!! :D

[@nicholas0402]

For the monitor you could ether replace it or it could just be a couple of wires cut off a little or just send it to Luke if possible and for the marquee just take the bulb out and put a battery power lightbulb in there for the humming I really don't know send a an animal like a raccoon or a squirrel. Anyway I watch everyday and you is what inspired me and my friend to make and arcade machine or cabinet by scratch hope I get to play some cool classic games with you in the classic game room

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

Glad it's working at least. In sure some nice youtubers here have already suggested the new problem and someone can fix it.

[@stashmerkin9576]

The music is the Blue Danube. Nice 2001; A Space Odyssey reference!

[@thrillynewt]

I remember playing Frogger on a Frogger machine and one of the circuits was bust, so it displayed Frogger one row further than where he actually was! Bugged the crap out of me to say the least.

[@arncampero7784]

Mark, Looks like you need a cap kit done on that monitor. That should fix it right up. If you've never done one yourself and you can barely use a screwdriver, then find someone out there that can re-cap it for you. Should be nominal cost.

[@shookstylez]

HOLY SHIT SAMURAI SHOWDOWN! this reminds me of my youth! I got totally giddy when it worked!

[@QuetzalToon005]

how much did it cost to get it fixed. i like to know since i also just bought a neo geo mvs

[@ScottBeebiWan]

how about you put the cartriges in backwards? or mess around with the audio and video cables. (this is a suggestion)

[@sonicmario64]

I love "World Heroes 2"! It's such a great fighting game to play, especially because it's almost like Street Fighter in every way! :D

[@bertinouellet]

To fix the top vertical overfold you need to tweak the vertical size setting first. There's probably a remote board close to the monitor if you open the control panel. Then you have to replace the capacitors, which is called a cap kit. That's because the capators value change over time and can generate many issues, like overfolds for instance. Cap kit, look it up.

[@kuntosjedebil]

Try to move the picture vertically downwards. CRT screens usually have screws which manipulate the picture position.

[@indydriver80]

This is far more compelling than anything else in the world.

[@timberwolves100]

The monitor could be going bad or it could be a really easy fix. There should be hardware knobs that adjust the horizontal and vertical screen position. It looks like the screen is folding over because the vertical setting is too high. If the monitor is going bad, changing these settings might not be enough.

[@puekawNEpuyrruh]

My favorite video game reviewer ! I hope one day he returns from Planet X .

[@TheRealJPhillips]

you got a legendary piece of equipment rite there bro

[@andy7666]

These monitors usually have little white twisty button things inside the cab, you move them clockwise and anticlockwise to affect the monitor image size and the volume. That is my high tech advice for you (if they are there it should just be a matter of having a little fiddle!).

[@thefinalpie]

Hope you can get that fixed up soon!

[@cosmicpandabrownies]

He should have poured beer on it......

[@coachNewman17]

I say Luke deserves to be in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize!

[@Progearspec]

As for what lukemorse1 mention mark make sure you clean the cartridges contacts,they can get very dirty.Use q-tips and some electronics cleaner and even a eraser works as well to.

[@angelpichu1]

can you make one of those arcade machienes work withought the use of quarters? just wondering

[@lonewulfyamcha]

Yay Luke!! The force is strong with this one....

[@JohnnnyJohn]

Best description ever! I totally agree. I feel like freaking Merlin when I fix something that takes batteries!

[@ArcadeMachine15]

what was the issue with his board that needed fixing?

[@LondonOntGuy]

Those funky lines on the top of the screen, could be the monitor is about to shit the bed. One of my old TV's has a similar issue.

[@thetylife]

Your dad helped you solder the battery on? lol...aww I just find that adorable Luke has mad skillz, and probably some alien technology.

[@BagoZonde]

I love you guys :D. Dreamcast could be a little bit louder and nobody would kick this machine ;) but as we now... Dreamcast rules! Cheers!

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Mark make sure you make a part 4 when you either put in the new monitor or do a cap kit! Your chassis is screwed, it has NOTHING to do with dirty cartridges

[@1980sGamer]

And this is even more proof that Luke can fix anything.

[@treepizzle]

I would be curious how you feel this experience compares to the PS2 SNK Arcade classics...

[@darthv72]

looks like a monitor sync issue. Not the board but the screen itself. Years ago I tried hooking up an AES via RGB to an old arcade monitor but there was a problem in getting it to sync right. Turns out the home units dont have the same vsync that the arcade boards do. Or at least that is what I seem to recall. Mark...get yourself a new monitor. Maybe from another NeoGeo.

[@SylveonTrapito]

It´s working!! Congratulations. I like the passion you have for videogames. Most reviewers are video game haters

[@electricadventures]

I don't think the pouring beer on it method was too bad :) But I reckon Luke Morse was probably the safer bet.

[@The_Laser_Channel]

I'm guessing its the monitor b/c Luke showed him repairing the system and tested it out and it worked fine on his set-up....or try adjusting the carts again

[@MarcoZ1ITA1]

Mark, 4 slots tend to be finicky with cartridge order, especially with new carts. So yeah, it's normal. Keep trying until you find a working combination.

[@xan1242]

We told you so, Mark. Luke can fix everything.

[@904PinballZine]

I've got a single slot system and gotta get a 4 slot for the Video Game Rescue arcade in town.

[@MowzerLite]

My favorite moment, "After my Dad helped me sadder on a new battery. . ." I feel you, I feel you.

[@fruchesi]

Congratulations Mark! It's almost there! :)

[@whitelighter27club]

Good games you got there. I LOVE NEO GEO SNK fighting games!

[@Snotnarok]

I had that problem with a TV, the image was bending over the top, that was irritating. The solution? I got a new TV, couldn't fix it.

[@eviljoebob]

Looks like monitor might need a capacitor kit to replace the old capacitors. Those are usually what cause problems like screen fold over like what you have

[@BillyBetYT]

Almost there! Be sure to get Metal Slug and Sengoku 3!

[@maziku4749]

hi mark, just wanted to say great channel and keep up the good work!

[@DocSicnarf]

The image at the top of the monitor being flipped over is an easy fix. All you need to do is take a hacksaw and gingerly cut the top half of the monitor off, flip it over, then use hot glue to secure it in place.

[@S1SSYLaLa]

Awesome! Happy to see such good progress!

[@KE8NKO_Radio]

Try adjusting the canuter valves then tweak the flux capacitor that should take care of the humming issues.

[@jamesrbrindle]

Monitor issue is V.AMP issue. Find pot marked v amp or v size on back and adjust, see if it goes away when image is smaller. If not, a re-cap (cap kit) will likely sort this, its a simple common fault. Do not LCD this cab.

[@stellarola]

Mark, You'd be surprised to find that BYOAC.org forums has a ton of great information about monitors, arcade pcbs, controls, wiring and more. The forum members are fairly warm people, as much as people on the internet can be. Give them a shot. Also, it looks like your "v-sync pot" may need some tweaking.

[@AlexDroog71]

The vertical may need to be adjusted on the back of the monitor.

[@electronash]

Yep, the vertical size / vertical position is set too high. The electron beam is bouncing off the edge of the tube and causing the image to "foldover". Nice vid though. Well done, Luke! (I wonder where he got the RAM chips from? Same part numbers, or equivalents?)

[@Diskoboy1974]

I accidentally hit send.. The capacitors in your monitor have dried up. It's actually an easy fix if you can solder. Just replace all the capacitors on your monitors PCB, and your monitor will look like new! I've performed this fix on many a monitor. Nintendo monitors are notorious for their caps drying up.

[@kirestus]

you should take on the undertow hosts in a neo geo/ cgr arcade competition to celebrate the Olympics as soon as you get the neo geo up and running!

[@The80s8BitGuy]

The Intergalactic domination of Classic Game Room Is Now Complete with a Neo Geo and The Space Dominator Sega Genesis. Bow Down to CGR!

[@babloo1666]

i hope it gets to 100% working condition, maybe its just dust or something...good luck!!

[@roasty80]

The one luke morse fixed. Awesomeness

[@De5con]

Luke Morse is a good influence eventhough I killed one of my PS2's after taking some advice from one of his vids (not mad), this reminds me of the projects that I need to complete, again, not a bad thing.

[@junbinks]

It's a monitor issue. Our TV sets used to do the same thing back in the day. Better replace it. With an LCD monitor, maybe? And Samurai Shodown FTW!

[@Jamin2Jam]

I can't believe you did it awesome mark :D

[@edbigdogdoherty]

luke is awesome, i love his channel

[@MetalTiger88]

god damn i love this youtube collaboration thingie going on :D

[@lorddremen]

CGR space station.....what happened to the under sea mobile base??!?

[@DylanTheDude1]

The saga continues, you must sell the movie rights to this story! :P Good luck!

[@tbrence]

I know what it feels like mark, I cant fix anything. I tried fixing my nes 3 times with 3 different pin connectors and none of my attempts worked. The first I scratched the motherboard, the second a screw fell and sparked on the motherboard, and the third the pin connector was faulty.

[@TheSeek91]

OMG Ninja Showdown is also for pc i played a long time ago.awesome game

[@MaxieRetro]

There should be ajustments on the back board of the monitor for H hold Vhold brightness color some will be small "POTS" where you have to use a phillups screw driver to ajust others will be just like small dials. It looks kinda ike the H-hold(Horizontal hold) Is out of ajustment.

[@bertinouellet]

My point is that it's fixable. He has to remove the chassis (the two boards attached on the monitor tube). Someone will be able to fix it on the klov forum.

[@NinjaGoldRoger]

Space mail, the best kind of mail!

[@TheNewMusic4You]

I died when you said you might put a dreamcast in

[@Hiryu666]

That shirt is AWESOME.

[@MrRetrogamingBard]

I have no idea how to make it 100% but I do know that... 1) your Rolling Thunder Arcade machine is awesome! 2) your Neo-Geo Machine going from 0% to 85% is awesome thanks to your viewers. 3) installing a Dreamcast in there would be cool (yeah yeah, got it from the top comment... sue me)

[@en4ce_]

there is no problem that luke cant fix because he do it in the mix ;)
