Hard to believe it's been a week with the Neo Geo cabinet... still very happy with it...

Played around with it a bit and fixed one of the coin doors, adjusted the monitor a bit, disconnected the mini-marquee panels at the top. The insides of the thing are very cool and well thought out, it's a mess of wires and PCB's all over the place but everything seems quite logical. Gonna try and get a couple new carts tonight, and soon enough will replace the buttons with new ones of the original colour.

Neo Geo has arrived!!

Drove up to Petawawa to pick up the machine and check it out first hand and it's in fantastic shape, I was completely happy with it.

Thanks go out to Dad, Paul, Chris and Mark (the seller) for the help loading and unloading it, the thing weighs about 800lbs.

The only things I will have to do with it is get proper, original colour buttons for it and ideally find a plate for the memory card and ear phone slot.

Stuff!!

Well, the basement has undergone a rearrange and it's going very well, gotta make room for the mighty arcade machine that is coming....

Not too much new since I've been working on saving for the Neo Geo. CES was last week and there were a lot of very cool toys to be seen... of note was how HD-DVD died at the show with everyone moving over to Blu-Ray.... I guess that puts a damper on my hopes of an HD-DVD 360 by Toshiba... that would have been cool....

The PSP is still getting a lot of play, I finished Warhammer Squad Command, very cool game... so shocked that it's gotten such bad reviews...
