Better late than never. I really appreciate that you got this one out. And I appreciate that you went through the process of using a new router. Thank you.
It was a whole ordeal… LOL Even after I finished filming, it took me an entire day to edit 48 separately clips and 3+ hours of raw footage into a semi-coherent episode. And then iMovie couldn’t handle exporting it all at once, so I had to chop it up into 5 separate parts, render them individually, and then stitch the whole thing back together before uploading. I need a production team! LOL
Yup. Drifting focus/brightness is the most common issue on the Neotec monitors. Affects all of them. However, don't replace the flyback if it's working fine. Only replace it if the focus/brightness is drifting. Just mentioning that for those that might think it needs to be replaced just for the sake of replacing them. Thanks for the shoutout. Nice work fixing it up. Those legs are in fact ground pins and need to be connected. The flyback will not function and can be damaged if they are not installed/overlooked. Removing the resistor alone prevents the board from charging the Lithium battery on the MVS board? Seems like you'd need to install another diode like with most applications when replacing a rechargeable battery with a Lithium battery. No?
Thanks! I honestly didn’t study the schematics myself, but all the tutorial sites and videos I saw said that all you need to do is remove that resistor to disable the battery recharge circuit on this particular MVS board.
Always love seeing older coin op related stuff, luckily i still got a few MVS carts and a couple of single slot boards. Playing these older systems on CRT is still a great experience. Nice.😎👍
Discharging the monitor always makes my heart race, waiting for that "pop". I'm all about preserving the original monitors if at all possible. The LCDs don't do the golden era games any justice Great tutorial, sir!
There is a reversal happening. 20 years ago, people wanted cabinet arcade games for the nostalgia in their home. The industry become overloaded with options...now its novelty has worn off. May take another 30 years for the yearning to return.
Depends on how you define the hobby/industry. If you only care about original coin-op machines, it’s not like they’re making any more of those. But if you’re into “home arcades” with modern hardware, LCD monitors, and cabinets you assemble like IKEA furniture, then I agree that the market for that stuff has become over saturated. Also, nostalgia is a powerful force here… 30 years from now, most of the people who remember playing these games back in the day will be in a nursing home! 😅
I’ve got WWF SuperStars and would like to get a WWF WrestleFest PCB too. While I’ll admit that WrestleFest arguably has better gameplay, SuperStars definitely has a better roster. OOH YEAH!!!
Excellent video 😊 can you explain the battery replacement, on most machinces you place a diode inline of the battery, so it can't charge but gives 3v to memory when off.
Yes, Mike Jensen said something similar. I just followed the tutorial pages & videos made by actual Neo Geo experts, who said to just cut the resistor. For example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6XTjhMRYBrE.html
@@overtimearcade Without seeing the circuit diagram, but, going by the image on that video, it looks like the diode is already there and the resistor, which you removed, feeds the battery with the charge. 👍
@@overtimearcade I have just looked at the circuit diagram and yes, the diode is already there and is facing the correct way. The resistor is part of the charging circuit 😁
@@overtimearcadeIt stops the battery from being charged. It doesn't disable charging circuit, just disconnect it from the battery. The diode is to stop back charge and let it power the ram when the power is off👍
Anyone know where I can get a good power supply for an MK4 cab? Very very new to this. So I'm trying to figure out where I can source parts from. Appreciate any help I can get.
Is it a dedicated cab or a conversion? It probably uses either a standard switching power supply or an ATX-style power supply (similar to what a computer uses). What’s in there now, and are you sure it’s dead? Depending on which model you need, you should be able to find a replacement from vendors like arcadepartsandrepair.com or arcadeshop.com
I probably have at least 40 projects that I need to work on. But it seems like every time I fix a game I get 3 more projects😅 also I have been more into pinball machines which take even longer to fix them
