Hey Anthony,

 

I have been meaning to chime in! Congrats on the thread anniversary! 1403 pages and 10 years is quite an achievement as well as a testament to how much the Neo-Geo is loved :) 

Alright!! It's our pal Bruce. Great to see you with us again brother man. :thumbsup: :)

 

Thank you for stopping by and congratulating on the 10th anniversary of the Neo-Geo thread. It wouldn't have made it this far without you my man. I remember the great conversations reading about you and your grandmother going to the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus, NJ purchasing a Neo-Geo AES, while you were there, I was on Rte 4 in Paramus as well playing at Dairy Queen on a MVS flipping quarters into the machine having fun with Magician Lord. 

 

Not only that particular mall. all the others nearby, The Paramus Park Mall, Bergen County Mall, Willowbrook Mall, and even Time Warp Comics in Cedar Grove. What a small world we live in. I remember you mentioning that you were relocating to another State Were glad that you did so to help better yourself and add a new chapter to your life. Were glad you done so Bruce and we wish you all the best.  

 

Great to see you as always brother man. Thank you for all you do for the community and always a pleasure to have you on with us here on the Neo-Geo thread and on the AtariAge forums. Keep up the great work as always. :)

Some Homebrew Dev needs to make a GARFIELD game for the NEO GEO to make @Charlie Cat's head explode! 😝😁

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one Rob!! :lol: :lol:

 

I'll tell ya this brother man, If they make a Garfield game for the Neo-Geo to sell to the public, I'll buy you the game for you to have in the collection for the Neo Geo CD to play. If I recall, I believe you mentioned that you had the unit.

 

But either way, I'm a man of my words and would do that for you. :)

Well don't bother, even IF it should happen, a couple of years ago I had about half my collection stolen from our storage unit and sadly that included one barely used NEO GEO CDZ 🤷‍♂️I was devastated and so disheartened I gave up collecting, we do not have the room and I've learned the hard way not to put anything more in our storage locker that I am not willing to lose 😝 Oh, I live happily with the remainder of my collection and focus on that now and honestly, I was not too upset about losing some items (looking at you Phillips CD-i) but some depressed me for some time, the Neo Geo CDZ, Modded Sega Saturn, like new Sega Genesis Model 1, 3DO FZ-10, 2 ColecoVisions (my dear wife replaced one so I could use all my accessories) etc, etc.

Hey @Charlie Cat,

 

Any idea when Piko will release Knight’s Chance? I’ve been waiting a long time to own this game!

Good question Mike. I tried checking on the Neobitz newsletter and Eli's shop page regarding it and didn't see a planned date. I'll ask him about that bro. :)

I finally got around to replacing the caps in my early made Neo-Geo top loader yesterday. These take a while due to how many caps there are in total across the 3 main boards in the system. The controller board has a cap as well but just one so that isn't anything major. But the AV and CD driver boards have quite a few.

 

I also cleaned it inside and out but sadly, the basement smell still seems pretty baked into the plastics. Especially the maroon inner plastic spacer for the AV and control boards. Still, it looks better than it has since I got it from Yahoo auctions Japan last year. 

 

I installed an SD loader into pretty much as soon as I got it. It is awesome as it also allows similar features to that of the Unibios for the AES/MVS setups.

Most of the capacitors to be replaced are located on the AV board. The Console5 cap kit for this, includes actual special labeled audio grade capacitors to be used on this board.

I don't typically like to recap the CD driver boards as I've had 'problems' come up in the past when doing this. While it shouldn't be an issue, changing out the caps can change things electrically enough through the driver board to cause the CD adjustments to no longer be quite correct. But I've not had this be an issue with NGCD units thankfully.

There are a lot of capacitors overall that get replaced and some of the traces, especially on the AV board, tend to lift when desoldering the old caps in the process.

But it is looking better than it has since I got it about a year ago and is one less console in my collection to have to mess with for a long time.

Oh wow! This looks great CrossBow. What excellent work you done and the pics sho for themselves. Great work station you have and shane you gave to the NGCD system.  Thinking of doing video game repair uploads on YouTube or offering a service to have consoles to be repaired? I would follow you and I have a few consoles that are in need of work to be playable again.
