Did he finally figure out how to hack that without the common issue of the joystick being messed up or bricking it?  I'd love to load up my set of games I own onto the thing that aren't on there now.

I'm not sure  if he did Tanooki. I believe he mention once in a video that he's trying to do so.

Well if they can make it like hakchi bulletproof I'll do it.  Right now it's great on its own and not worth damaging joystick function which would render it useless.

Hey Steve. That's some really interesting deals that you mention. that KOF '96 at that price is with getting and the controller as well. Once you buy and settle down with an AES unit, we would love to see it and see you in action playing on the console bro. 8^)

 

Anthony..

Well, the governor of Tokyo has asked everyone to avoid going anywhere until the 12th, especially this weekend, so it seems I might not go back to Akiba for some time.

 

That said, the 26th of April is the Neo Geo's 30th birthday, only 19 days after my own 30th and one day after pay day! Seems a good enough time to go buy one! The governor is seriously considering a lockdown, so if she decides to implements it, I might not be able to go depending on if/how long/etc., so I may have to wait another 2 months or so. Still, I will be getting a Neo Geo in the next few months, most likely AES just because it's easy.

Understood Steve. Once everything is all settled down and safe for all to do some purchasing, we would love to see you have a Neo-Geo AES. In regards to the unit, do you have a particular interest on getting a low or high serial number version?

I never even thought about that. I guess for now I'll just have to see what is available in town. Lower would be nice, but if I don't have much of a choice, I'll take what I can find.

Gotcha Steve. If you like, the NGCD controllers also work on the AES. I use them plenty of times because there are times I find the big AES controllers a nuisance to take out and put away. The NGCD controllers are very responsive and work quite well on the AES.

I'm not sure if I've seen a CD controller separately in town. I have seen a few of them together with Neo Geo CDs, though those are actually harder to find than the AES. I made a mistake by not buying that AES controller, I think. Either way, I'll look around to see if I can find a CD controller as well. I imagine they are much cheaper and easier to find than the AES controller. It seems the place where I found it is still open for business this weekend, so maybe I might go back and get that AES controller eventually.

That's right Steve. Those NGCD controllers are cheaper and I recommend them. I have a few in the collection and like them just as much with the AES regular and pro controllers. I feel those would be a good investment to have. Some of our members here took my advice and love them on their AES consoles. 8^)

Hi guys,

 

Anthony..

[Reaperman]

Things are changing, and I'm rearranging my life (and first floor) to make room for a second arcade cabinet, which I've been wanting for a very long time. I think it's time to take one final picture of my Neo cabinet setup before it moves to a less ideal spot to make room.

 

First shot is from my 2nd floor kitchen/dining room, which has a cutout down to the first floor, where I have kept the Neo cab in a nice little corner nook next to the fireplace since 2009. (I've owned it since around 2003-2004)

 

 

As near as I can figure it's a Romstar cabinet, which makes sense since I bought it in San Diego when I lived in California. Generic gray panels, no art outside of the marquee which I actually cut down and added myself in place of a weird hand-made one. I've seen a few other neos in this specific generic cabinet, but not many. It looks like it was originally configured as a 2-button--almost certainly a bust-a-move/puzzle bobble, which was the cart still in it when I bought it,  In total the cabinet has had over 92,000 quarters run through it according to the counter.  It's not at all collectible or nice like a big red, but has its own story.  Button layout is weird/bad, but it works very logically for the KOF games.

 

Next to it is my rolling game storage from (this post). Somewhat hidden away on top of the cabinet is a recent addition of an ancient Oreck air purifier--I'm a New Orleanian now, so have to have Oreck stuff, and I restored the purifier earlier this year.

 

Here's a ground-level shot with the storage cart pulled out.  It's where I keep most of my mvs collection--and also my PGM stuff.  Doubles are in another area, as is my fatal fury set.  Sitting on top of the cart storage is a tile drink coster, which is oddly my one of my most prized neo collectibles. (link)  Every neo geo fan should really check out the thread that spawned that piece of merch.

 

 

 

As for the new cabinet, I was always going to get a driving cab, and while I haven't yet sourced/purchased it, I've begun preparations for a San Francisco Rush 2049 (hopefully special edition).  It's the last game by Atari Games/Midway, and to me is as close to the perfect racing game as can be had.  The cabinet is also compatible with a great number of other Midway/Atari Games racers. I'm especially interested in trying to get a California Speed board to swap into it as well. I've been much more of an 'Atari Games' fan than an 'Atari' fan--ever since the split.

WOW!  That's amazing Reaper. Nice looking pics and loving yoursetup that you have. Sadly, I don't have room for an MVS unit to be added to the gameroom since space is very limited at this point. But always admired your pad with your arcade unit since it looks so cool Reaper. I love it.
