The Ultimate Solution for Neo Geo Without an Arcade

[@Gorilla_Jones]

One of these and a NeoSD and you're golden.

[@RetroRalph]

Boom, my boy is in the house!!! You fire me up anytime I see you in the comments brother!!!

[@andymcdandycdn6808]

I love ❤ Neo-Geo games. Looks like a great console for any console collector and Neo-Geo lover. Great video Ralph.

[@tommythrowback]

I was absolutely in love with Neo Geo in the 90s. I talked about it everyday in school and made everyone sick of hearing about it. I remember saving up for a used AES and only had Samurai Shodown I and II then I was broke. Now I have 2 Super Neo 29 candy cabs, but I don’t have the AES since it’s too expensive. I think I might snatch one of these so I can play on another TV. Thanks for the awesome video bro!!

[@Shinobi6407]

I see Neo Geo, I click. Great video, Ralph!

[@RetroRalph]

You rock brother! Thanks for watching man!

[@quantumfx2677]

Excellent! How can you not love this? The new retrotink also really makes a huge difference!

[@RetroRalph]

Right?! Man I need myself a RetroTink 4K but it's sooooooo expensive. I’m sure it’s totally worth it though.

[@quantumfx2677]

@@RetroRalph Yeah, but think of it this way, if you get a retro tink and add the name in a YT video talking about it and doing a demo, I believe it should really get your content out there. I would like to see how this does on a original arcade monitor compared to a LCD monitor using the same game because what I understand is that IT will now create a almost perfect match as using a CRT Monitor, Now that would be awesome! We would no longer have to use CRTs as a LCD or better a OLED to get a almost perfect picture of a CRT on a LCD for the first time! Hopefully in time the prices will drop because I would use this in every arcade running a LCD or OLED.! Yeah, I would get one as it's part of what you do and you could really make some extra content showing this thing off! Maybe they will even give you a discount!

[@ScottOmatic]

That's a sick Members Only jacket.

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks brother, I appreciate you watching!

[@piratestation69]

I would like to see is a memory card slot. i have the old super gun version and a modified AES both with terraonion flash carts. It came unibios 4.0 (not socketed) and a battery holder which is nice. The battery cap is a cost cutting measure. It was done in the original xbox. These caps leak badly after time and will destroy the board. 161 in 1 carts are junk. But its a cheap alternative.

[@itchyisvegeta]

I modded a MV1C arcade board into a console using the Open MVS kit. The video quality is amazing. But I really like the case and set up of this one. Looks a lot better than those early Omega kits. How would you or anyone compare this to the video quality of the Open MVS mod?

[@ScottParisi]

Pretty cool console. Takes up far less space than the arcade cabinet. I'm sure I won't but hope to see you at Pintastic this week.

[@nomorecontinues6564]

I love NEO GEO and I will instaclick anything I see with that. I’ve got an Arcade Stick Pro and the old NEO GEO X, but it would be amazing to know I have authentic arcade speeds. This looks really cool and tempts me to finally try to own some real NG hardware at home, even though it’s hard to spend that kind of money. Some of these CMVSes seem to be getting cheaper and closer to attainable though! My caveat is that I don’t have a good TV for those video outputs. I need an affordable HDMI CMVS.

[@araujofi]

I think they send the decals separately for copyright reasons, SNK could sue them for selling a product with their logo printed.

[@RetroRalph]

Good point 👍🏻 I wasn’t even thinking about that.

[@Evercade_Effect]

I love anything Neo Geo and this is super cool!

[@ForeverLacey09]

Wow!!! That's the nicest looking MVS console I've seen!

[@darktetsuya]

actual NEO*GEO stuff is definitely a little bit out of my price range, *but* I will say this setup looks really cool, definitely looks nice no matter what route you're going with it. (also I hate whatever they did to the lifebars in samsho 4... definitely causes a lot of visual issues trying to capture video or stream it... I never understood it!!)

[@BrokeDaddyGamer]

That looks so cool

[@Anonymous25491]

I would love to throw this into my empty neo geo cabinet, I wonder how that would work.

[@720erik2]

It would be pretty sick to make a Neo Geo cabinet around this. I’m assuming those usbs can be used for encoder boards to run buttons and sticks off of?

[@TheBigExclusive]

Is this a reproduction board, or did they actually rip out an MVS board from an old Neo Geo cabinet? How many MVS cabinets were lost to mass produce these things?

[@jonniefast]

they arent mass produced the cabs are being saved the motherboards are pulled from systems that have failed monitors/have been decomissioned for safety issues etc the mvs-1b board is visible in other teardown videos, they just print a modified supergun pcb and drop it in +a ribbon cable or two😅

[@jonniefast]

i have around 5 working mvs boards u can always build your own neogeo like i did 😇 fun project

[@BOXERCRAZYBROWNCLOWN]

I might have to get me one !!!

[@Jerome-C]

if you press and hold START before power on your console, you active the Pick'n Mix option, then you presse A+B to select a game on the list, and release a+b to switch to this game ! (that's a awesome feature on this unibios 4.0 and 161in1 ) And for the AES/MVS systeme, i prefere the ORTHROS MVS set, i think it's a more durable solution :)

[@karlhanso]

what bad name for a console orthros (orto) in argentina means ass

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

I had one of these long time ago but it always had voltage issues and not sure if it was the 161 and 1 cart or the console. I ended up selling it. Neo Geo emulation is so prevalent now it is easier for me.

[@ultraspinalki11]

How did the voltage issue manifest itself? Or rather, what made you notice it?

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

@@ultraspinalki11 glitches and issues while playing the games. I think it was the 161 and 1 cart but I couldn’t test because I didn’t have another mvs cart. Some games didn’t load and others had glitches and weird video glitches and a few time the system would restart. It could have been the board as well not sure. This was over a decade ago.

[@turbinegraphics16]

If I didn't have an aes I would get this, its actually better than the aes because of the component and s video.

[@LukeDodge916]

I have a hylo hacked MVS X, Arcade Stick Pro and Mini Neo Geo. For my interest these play just like I remember them from the arcades. Are these roms really inferior to doing this consolized MVS??

[@juliusnielsen7122]

Got the MVSX as well as a consolized MVS from AliExpress. The big difference for me is the ability of the consolized MVS to play on a Sony CRT. Guess both Systems run perfectly but the cheap MVSX LCD just looks Inferior to me.

[@juliusnielsen7122]

.....turning 40 very soon and still able to hear that 15734Hz tone! Love that Sound!

[@jonniefast]

mvsx is sweet i would never part with mine +being able to map to neocd buttons on the fly is underrated cant even do that on a real cab 😅

[@chrismussel399]

Thinking of getting sn mvsx for that purpose. 1 is it hard to do and 2 is there a games list for the hack? Im looking fir a few specific

[@jtbrunick]

So this is a reproduction case, correct?

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Yes

[@RetroRalph]

Yes, it's a repro case with a Neo Geo MV1-B board and a custom PCB to and supportability for NEO GEO AES controllers and USB controllers as well as some of the video output options.

[@rodrigodelucia2843]

Nice vid Ralph 👊

[@RetroRalph]

Thanks brother , I hope all is well.

[@KelsallsArcade]

@@RetroRalph all good thanks. Just doing another re org of the arcade here and trying to put my attack from mars pin back to stock after putting the god forsaken intec deck in it 😂

[@KelsallsArcade]

@@RetroRalph by the way. This vid made me fire up my mvsx. But then I decided to play street fighter third strike on it and not even a neo geo title 😂

[@stringerfilms.]

But I need to know how I can play my arcade cabinet without an arcade board 🤔 😢

[@RetroRalph]

You need to stare at it intently, right where the board is supposed to be. Depending on the earths rotation at the time staring is initiated, the process takes anywhere between 10sec and eternity. (roughly).

[@stringerfilms.]

@@RetroRalph so just throw a pi in it? 🤓

[@retromister81]

What's the name of the app to record a CRT?

[@RetroRalph]

The app is called DSLR Camera. You can set it to video and on manual mode you can adjust the framerate to pretty much as granular as you want.

[@retromister81]

@@RetroRalph thanks ralph

i have an aes & a handful of mvs boards with superguns i built my own neogeo cab ❤

[@iononsoleggere9065]

Did you experienced some glitches with the green 161-1 multicart like I do? Yellow ones are "better" rom-side speaking 😢

[@jonniefast]

think of it like a demo cart some of the games are crashing before the credits, glitches, errors, missing sound etc its to help you CHOOSE which cart u want 😂

[@jonniefast]

fluffy aliexpress / temu carts (modern new carts as repros) run fine for the crazy expensive stuff i went that route

[@KoncadeGaming]

The neobuff is a modern replacement for the stock chips on the neo board, the capacitor on the LHS is a super capacitor to replace a physical battery.

[@alejandroaguilar9038]

I have that Multi cart BUT VERSION 3 which has the fixes

[@retromister81]

Me too. The blue one is the latest

[@jonniefast]

did they fix blazing star? the credits never roll & u get an endless loop (unbeatable final level) i ended up shelling out for a legit copy 😅

cant expect reviewers to 100% complete every game on the list lol

Mine caught fire after a month

[@RetroRalph]

Holy crap, it did? Do you mind me asking how? That’s pretty scary considering I’ve had mine plugged in and on for a month now in my office. I have a xenocrisis cart in it and just play when I have time but I’m trying to save my progress. 😬

[@kevinwoolford123]

@RetroRalph it was turned off and I heard a pop, looked down and smoke started pouring out of the unit ruining my kof 2000 cart by burning a hole in the chip. Voltage was entering the ground and fried it all. Awful experience and could have burnt my house down if I wasn't asleep 😕

[@RetroRalph]

@@kevinwoolford123 Holy crap man 😦 I’m sorry this happened. While I can say I’ve had some quality issues with stuff from AliExpress , I’ve never had something like this happen, that’s scary man. Thank you for the heads up, that’s obviously a major major concern. 😬

The reason why you had to apply the decal is because you didn’t buy a “Neo Geo” you bought a game box according to copyright law.
