Post by: eggedd2k on June 24, 2005, 06:31:16 am

That is a Neo Geo cartridge, you would also need a Neo Geo motherboard, and a cabinet actually wired for 4 button JAMMA (VERY UNCOMMON on anything other than a Neo Geo cabinet).

If you're really interested in NEO-GEO games you can usually find a decent full cab for a couple hundred dollars if you shop around a bit. In my experience, they're almost always cheap & plentiful. I love mine, it pobably gets more play time than my MAME cab.

All Tekken boards use an auxillary harness/loom for stereo sound and kick.

The boards origanally come with the extra harness, but if nessecary, you can solder the extra wires to the board directly.


The small blue edge connector in this case is the auxillary harness.
