Neo Geo was too expensive at this time, even for Japaneses.

 

These screenshots are great.

 

Neo Geo World seems to be written from left to right, unlike newspapers.

I remember as a boy that I wish I had the money to buy a Neo-Geo AES Serguei. But all I could do is dream. It wasn't until I was in my early-20's to finally own one of those beauties. :)

Neo Geo Pocket looks cool.

 

I don't remember I saw it in the stores, in Canada.

Glad you like the unit Seguei. :thumbsup:

 

I recommend to have in the collection. Such a fun unit that has more battery life than the Game Boy Color as well. :)

Hi all, just dropping in with some update information on the build..,.

 

Hinge Marguee access panel

 

Another part of the cabinet with very little information available online, I just decided to work with the space I have left after designing in the speaker panel.  I was aware of the lock location, and the fact there was a piano hinge, and that was it.

 

I managed to find a video on YouTube where an owner of a real cabinet removed the Marquee, which showed a little bit what was going on ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak.

 

I used a standard barrel lock, with piano hinge, the marquee rests in a small recess on a aluminium angle, when unlocked the panel drops down releasing the marquee so the Mini Marquee can be quickly changed without unscrewing parts of the cabinet.

Painting

 

After the lengthy task of cleaning up my garage in preparation for painting I finally managed to get some primer/undercoat on the panels.

 

All of the back panels and the sides of the cabinets were simply rolled with a white undercoat/primer to seal the timber ahead of a top coat, or in the case of the side panels the vinyl wrap.

 

All black panels were spray painted following numerous coats of primer, and light rubbing down between coats. A day and a half worth of painting, but generally I was happy enough with the results.

Subwoofer

I decided from early on in the build that I would love the impact that a subwoofer can add to the experience, I really wanted that impactful arcade sound, and given the space available in the bottom of the cabinet, it would be rude not to.

This part of the build was merely function over beauty, it’s rough and ready but produces pretty decent results for very little money.  I calculated the volume of the speaker cabinet to match the driver I bought, and worked with the correctly tuned length of reflex port.  Sounds great, just excuse the rough appearance.

Vinyl

A while back I faced the decision of whether to paint the sides and coin door panel and add artwork, or go for a full ‘vinyl wrap’ for the whole sides and coin door.   Took me a while to decide and in the end I went with the wrap as I hoped it would give a more professional finish that I might be able to achieve with paint.

 

Reaching this step meant I could move the cabinet into the house, in a cleaner environment, and in the room I intend to keep the unit.  Lying it down seemed a far easier way to apply the large ‘sticker’ rather than trying to do it whiles the cabinet was vertical.

 

I’ve had a tiny bit of experience apply vinyl to small things in the past, but not much experience.  To say I was nervous about doing this probably doesn’t cover it, as I was all too aware how horribly wrong it could go.

I had it in mind that I would probably spend 1-2 hours applying both sides.  I would say closer to 4 hours by the time I was done.  The first side was a nightmare as I hadn’t honed my technique, air bubbles everywhere, battling with the vinyl wrapped around a tube with one hand, whilst trying to spread it out evenly with the other hand (I did this alone, no spare hands to help).  By the end of the first side I realised where I was going wrong, and luckily corrected a lot of my mistakes.  The second side went on super quick (1/4 of the time it took the first side) and with no issues at all, shows what a little bit of trial and error can do for learning I guess.

The coin door, likewise was a breeze.

 

Things changed up a bit when I took to my control panel.  I had always planned to wrap the contact surfaces on this, and using a laminated vinyl with a nice finish was always the plan to give this a professional finish.  Applying the vinyl was a bit of a logistical nightmare for numerous reasons revolving mostly around the control panel overlay, I got there in the end, and was very pleased with the end result.

Hi Bod,

 

WOW! :-o:-o:-o  It just keeps getting amazing! The decal that you added to your MVS unit looks just like the versions that SNK placed on theirs Bod. I love how the results are looking better and better as you share the pics with us.  I'll let others know about this for them to be amazed bro. I'm sure they would love to see this from you. :)
