My NEO-GEO Conversion

(1/3) > >>

mikefr:
This is my very first MAME cabinet.  I bought an old NEO-GEO cabinet with a working 25in monitor for $100US and converted it to a very simple MAME cabinet.

If you are interested I did a complete write up of my project and posted it on my personal site:

It's not as pretty as many of your guys' cabinets but it works well. 



MAMEWah Front end. 


The cabinet with extra buttons enstalled.

This was a fun build and I play it with my brother all the time. 

Ginsu Victim:
Looks better than my cabinet.

Very nice.

Was it working?

Neo Geo cabs in working condition are better than any MAME cabinet.

ace3093:
Looks great! I have always like the neo geo cabinet. The only thing missing is a now featuring picture!

mikefr:
Yeah the NEO-GEO board works fine.  When I bought it, I tested the cabinet with a Metal Slug cartridge and it worked fine.  I removed the NEO-GEO board but I still have it. 

Timstuff:
If I were you, I'd at least have considered setting it up so you could switch between the Neo Geo PCB and the PC on the fly, rather than taking the original hardware out. It's not a great arcade sin, but at least you left the cab mostly intact otherwise.
