Do you want this side art: if this is what you want, It's in the control panel artwork, I've traced the MVS and it's multi whatever fonts. And The NEO GEO font it's just Times New Roman. But anyways i'm glad to help. And this: |

I run Neo-Geo games with NeoRageX just fine on an older (cheaper) mini-ITX board. I wouldn't think MAME would require much more. You won't find a Neo-Geo game that requires anything that fast. Also, why would you spend all that money on that hard drive? You're having a full size cab right? Is there a reason why the hard drive has to be miniture also? If so, you should consider a laptop hard drive with a 3.5" to 2.5" converter. That's how I did my project and it works great. I would just use a standard ATX power supply. I have a smaller power supply that runs around 50 watts and I haven't had a problem. Here's my question. Are you going to run the arcade monitor or replace it with a computer monitor or TV? You'll have to remember that Mini-ITX boards don't come with an available AGP slot. I guess you answered my question with the "J-PAC" statement. 8) --- End quote --- Thx for the comments. I was thinking about using that HDD because I can do updates just by unplugging it from the cab, plugging it into my lappy to do updates, and plugging it back in into the cab. As for NeoRageX, if I can run all of the Neo games on that, and if there's a good frontend to use for that emu, I'll go ahead and use that. If the 1.2Ghz mobo is overkill, perhaps I should just get the fanless 600 Mhz mobo with an onboard DC-DC converter, like this one here: http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/21/products_id/175 As for using a dedicated power supply for the mobo, I'll do that, as long as I can do it neatly and not drill a hole in the back to get the cord to the power strip (might as well use a Bits Ltd. Smart Strip if I'm going this route... :) ) Mind you all, this is just a pipe dream at the moment, but once I get around to doing this, I'll keep all of this in mind as I make my choices. BYOAC'ers are truly the best. 8) --- End quote --- If you're wanting all the Neo-Geo games, I wouldn't suggest NRX. It's good and fast, but doesn't support some of the games due to the fact that it doesn't do linescrolling. Plus all the newer games need to be hacked to work with NRX and the sets may be harder to find. It hasn't been officially updated in years. I would stick with MAME. If you insist on spending around $200 I would suggest going with your first motherboard. It's twice as fast for only $20 more. PS: Gameboy, please resize or link to your pic. It's very large. |

The left player/right player graphics are in there too? I think I can get that SNK logo from mahuti's website... that's not a problem... |

If I ever get around to this and do it, I'll be more than happy to post a few pics when I'm done. 8) |
