NeoGeo

Neo Geo, in my opinion, is the best home system ever created. It allows the gamers to enjoy the true arcade experience at home. I recently purchased a Super Nova system from MAS. After examining how Nova works, I learned alot on the JAMMA standard. I used Super Nova to play MVS system, but I wasn't happy due to its size. After seeing how small the mini MVS board is, I decided to make a self contained MVS system, so I am able to carry inexpensive MVS games to my friends' houses. One day I was hanging out at my friend's car audio store, and I found a treasure sitting on top of misc. car audio parts. It is a Sharp TFT active matr...

Memory Cards The Neo Geo Home Cart and MVS systems have no internal storage for game saves or high scores. Instead, SNK released a removable memory card interface. These cards may be used with either the console system or the MVS cabs. Game saves are also interchangeable. In other words, you may play a game of Samurai Shodown at home and save your game. Then go to the arcade and load the game from the memory card. A very cool feature for its time although common place in Japan now. There are two memory cards that maybe be used with the Neo Geo. Both are pcmcia interface cards. The first card is the official memory card from SNK. This car...

There are several modifications that people typically have done to their Neo Geo Home Cart Systems. Neo Geo Stereo mod The first and easiest is the stereo mod. The cart systems sound is mono by default. You can do one of two things to alter this. Plug a stereo jack into the headphone out jack. Then plug this into your stereo. Its that easy. Drill a couple of holes into the back of the case and place in some RCA jacks. Then, run a wire from the jacks to the stereo amp and solder a connection. This way you can just run cables from the back and you don't have them dangling in the front. Neo Geo S-video mod Probably the best mod in my opi...

This mod is for the NEO GEO CD top-loading unit and allows you to switch your unit from NTSC to PAL or vice versa. It has been tested, and it works neatly. ** Before opening your Neo Geo CD console please read the whole document to avoid serious damage to your machine! ** PAL -> NTSC conversion [ STEP 1 ] Open up your Neo Geo CD unit by unscrewing the four screws found on the bottom of the machine. Use a Philips screwdriver to avoid damaging the screws. Remove the cover by carefully lifting it on the back (where the video ports are) and pay attention to the controller ports. After the cover is loose, remove the white plastic cable conn...

It has been a long time since I wrote my last article. Today, by chance, I found old scans of American magazines dating back to the years 1994/1995 containing advertisements for Neo Geo video games. Here are the scans:
