Good point, lilshawn.   :cheers:

PBJ and Chopper:  What is the diameter of the part of the actuator that engages the restrictor plate on your stick?

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.

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….

I bought neo geo board with a bad battery i still havn't replaced....it's a big one cartridge job though so if i tried to make it a console it's would be about the size of an atari 5200.
anyway i got a multi cart off alliexpress for $30 last April. 151 games or something like that.
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.
