"Neo Geo Arcade help!!!" , posted Sat 15 Feb 17:13

I have the oppurtunity to buy aero fighters 2 arcade cabinet for 200$. I heard this runs on mvs. Does anyone know how easy it wuld be to set up to run other games on it. The system doesnt show any mvs capabilities just aero fighters on the cabinet. How easy would it be to convert to a regular multi video system?

I'm not sure how many buttons are on it.

Is this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?

First off, does the cab come with an MVS board + Aero fighters? It isn't clear to me if you're just talking about an empty cab or what... if you only want other Neo Geo games, all you need is an MVS board. If you don't, it's still fine; you can just pop your MVS board out of there and put in any other Jamma board you wanted.

Sorry im not sure what the hardware is on it. i assume its just straight aero fighters.
I dont think its an empty cabinet, i think it just has the aero fighters 2 cart in it. i'm gonna take a look at it tommorrow. Do u think i will need a new overlay? i saw one on ebay for pretty cheap

Well, this is easy. All you'll need is the cab. You see, MVS is a " cart " based arcade hardware format. MVS carts are easily interchanged. All you'd need to do would be to take out the Aero Fighters 2 and pop in whatever game you'd want to play. ^_^

You'd either need to attach them yourself or get somebody else to do it (try neo-geo.com, there are a bunch of trustworthy people there.) If you only want it for the blood, though, you don't need them; that's just a dip switch setting you can switch on your own without the bios ( the bios are for switching it to Japanese or English or whatever, depending on what country your board is from, for using the bosses, etc. )

All Neo Geo systems are "AES", although many people incorrectly call the home cart system AES, yes. There was only one real dedicated MVS cab ever made, and that was for Samurai Spirits/Shodown 2, so it should have all four buttons, unless it was a conversion job. It's just a one slot MVS. Send me a picture at bugrom1067@aol.com if you want me to check (or just link me to it, if it's online.) And yeah, once again, try the seller's forum at neo-geo.com, you can find good deals on MVS stuff there.
