Hello from Whitstable

[Akira99]

Hi, I’ve been looking on this website for a long time and now I’m a first-time user. I’ve been into retro for years and predominately Neo Geo AES, and am looking to get my first arcade machine (hopefully a Neo Geo MVS) at some point hopefully (as it was the first arcade machine I played on back in the day and made me love arcades, and I want my boys to play on as well). Any advice would be great and I look forward to chatting to you all at some point about all things arcade.

Welcomes !

MVS cabs are hard to get hold of but do come up from time to time.

Thank you for the reply back to my post and thanks for the information about mvs cabs. I'm a complete newbie to this but I would love to have one so my boys can play metal slug on arcade hardware and hopefully get the same buzz/experience from it as I did at there age

Fingers crossed something will come up in the near future

Hey, the first cab I got was a Leisure 2000 MVS in 2008. It had a 4-slot in it and was a great little cab (I still have it infact).
Definitely recommend them as they're tidy little cabs. I got Olly MuddyMusic (from Arcade Artwork) to re-theme mine as a Lordsvale and it looks great. Still need to get the sideart printed but will get around to it. Anyway, get a MVS, upgrade it to Universe BIOS v4.0 and buy a 161-1 for a great 90-odd (filtered) games selectable from a nice looking menu.

Hi, thanks for the info, I just looked up the Leisure 2000 MVS, I haven't seen an MVS like that it looks really cool love it. I have only played on the Lordsvale MVS, I will definately look into doing the Universe BIOS v4.0 and 161-1 once I get an MVS. I have seen Olly MuddyMusic work/service on Arcade Artwork and its great, its so good to have that available to community .

Welcome to the forum, great choice in system! MVS is a great choice for a 1st cab too. Lots of choice from one cab whether you go for a 161-in-1 or amass a cart collection.

welcome to the forum, there's are few neo geo fans on here

Welcome to the forum!

The MVS is indeed an excellent choice, I can still remember the awe of playing Fatal Fury 2 at Thornbury leisure centre on one of these beasts:

I love the attract mode to this day, AGAIN, LEGENDARY MEN..RETURN. Absolute nonsense, but sounds amazing.

I assume that's why MVS stands for Mega Videogame Sound right?

 

[Akira99]

Thanks for the great welcome everyone I really appreciate it, I used to love the sound of MVS especially for Metal Slug, Art Of Fighting and Savage Reign those were the first ones I played and I was hooked from there on everything Neo Geo

Welcome to the forum. Definitely a lot of love for Neo Geo / MVS on here and carts / cabs come up for sale from time to time. Being patient and striking quickly when you find that one perfect for you is the key. There is also a lot of very knowledgeable people on here happy to offer advice to those genuinely interested in keeping these wonderful machines going.

 

[Akira99]

Hi I'ma glad to hear that there is a lot of love for Neo Geo MVS cabs and carts. I will definitely need the forums knowledge, wisdom and advice to help me find the right MVS cab for me and yes I'am genuinely interested in keeping these wonderful machines going, so my boys can enjoy them just like I did, so they can enjoy the classic arcade machine experience and hopefully continue it on.
