Yes ground is usually green and thicker than other wires, you can attach the ground to a metal control panel or the monitor mount.

I'm speculating a bit here, but if you are wiring up a 4-slot neo geo there are some additional considerations.  It has something to do with the -5v and the sound.  You should look into it.  There is also some good info here.
