Neo Geo MVS - Dark Jaguar - 19th June 2022
The time's come. I'm never going to get an AES at this point. The AES was the home release of that system, but I've come to find out that it's hardware identical to their arcade machines. Kind of crazy to think of getting an entire arcade cabinet, but I am entirely willing to get an arcade board and rig it up to one of these "consolizing" kits called Superguns. I've found that these arcade boards were so common that they are still cheap to this day, as well as the arcade versions of the games themselves (which include the full code for the home version and EVERY region on the same cart). So, next year I think, I'm going to do that. I'm going to find a nice MVS board, consolize it with a supergun, and apply a number of interesting mods to do everything from region/console mode switching to allowing the home versions controllers to be used to adding internal memory card support.
I'll post back here once I manage to accomplish this stuff. I'm putting this off until next year because I still have a few consoles to pick up on the Atari side of things. I really want a 7600, and maybe even a 5200. Definitely a Jaguar, but I'm probably going to skip out on the toilet shaped CD add-on since there were perhaps 6 games for that thing, and I'm not really interested in any of them. Yes, that's right I have more interest in the 32X than a Jaguar CD.
