Matsurigatzu:
Just seeing if someone could message me on aim and i can ask questions instead of type it all out.

Just got a new Neo Geo MVS 4-25 v.3 cab.

got questions. I appreciate it!

aim= gatzu04
Dazz:
You must be new to forums as well...

 :laugh2:
DaveMMR:
You'd still have to type it out on AIM anyway, just in smaller chunks.  Posting it here helps others with similar problems.  ;)
Matsurigatzu:
yeah,your right.
Just takes longer to get answers on here.

Well im not sure if you want to see a picture of the cab but im guessing you know what it looks like. :-)

First off: Jamma boards. What is all the talk about and would it work into the Neo Geo that i have?

also, one joystick is non responsive and buttons do not work. Is it fairly easy to replace myself? Where can i order some parts that would fit my machine?

p.s. some history here.......I got the neo geo 4 cart system for free from some guy that just bought a laundry place and said he was throwing it away and the screen had no scratches on it and had 4 games on it-Metal Slug 1,King of fighters 97, Art of fighting, and samuari showdown 2. :-)

yeah,i got lucky. I just had to pick it up and haul it away.

Let me preface by saying I've no experience with actual arcade cabs.  But for the non responsive joystick and buttons, I'd say just as a basic starting point is to check the wiring and make sure everything is connected properly.  Check the wiki, the links on the side and/or your favorite search engine for a quick primer on hooking things up.  Hint: If you can hook up a stereo you can do this. 

JAMMA is an arcade standard for easy game conversion (very over-simplified explanation).  Look into this or similar for JAMMA compatability for your Neo-Geo:

From the above page to explain MVS vs. JAMMA compatability:
"All NeoGeo MVS units are almost fully JAMMA compatible; however, they have a small twist in their pinout scheme."
