acrylic plate: point to point 20.2 mm flat to flat 19 mm Digital caliper battery dead, using ruler for my data. The plate I bought was marketed for the neo geo X stick. But stick specs are same as original. Look close at my pic again, top is original stick and bottom is X stick and you can see how tight actuator is with the leafs between old and new. good day. |

Hm. Interesting posts. I’ll have to check all this out when my plate arrives. Also got a line on one of the Furrtek MVS to AES converters. About $70 shipped. In theory, the MVS carts are cheaper. No more $1 Fatal Fury Special or $15 Metal Slug like 20 years ago, tho. But still cheaper. You can get basically any game from China for $60-70 on MVS. EPROM swapping seems better documented on MVS and I’m confident at this point I could do it. On the other hand, I’m really just playing a waiting game on the Darksoft AES carts at this point and that’s going to set me back $500. But the stupid converters are usually a couple hundred so I don’t know. Sanity left the building a long time ago, so this is what vexes me now. :cheers: |

Got a copy of Fatal Fury Special with the box coming for $27 shipped. I think it and Samurai Shodown 2 must be borderline worthless. It’ll keep me busy until the bootleg clears customs I think…. :cheers: |

I tried multiple times to buy an MVS board and it didn't happen. thus the reason i settled for one off ebay with an error common with a dead battery. this thread makes me really want to pull it out of it's tote and replace the battery to see if the damn thing actually works. |
