Hey folks,
Found a stash of Neo Geo custom chips and have them up on my web site.
Sorry, but there were no NEO-257, but I do have many others including NEO-BUF and NEO-ZMC2 which are common repairs.

Enjoy!
OK,
First... There are two versions of the game: Proto5 and 1.0. They have separate sound board software and they are NOT compatible... and to make matters worse, the Version 2 which works with the production 1.0 version of the game isn't available on download sites.
Release 1 - CRC D2ED9F5E...
Before you pronounce your CPS1 A board dead, check these traces going from F1 through E7 to pins 100 through 105 and 111 through 116 of the CPS-A-01. These 12 traces run from the E/F connector pins to under the IC. If the board wasn't fully washed after factory soldering, the flux will corrode...
OK,
So I've seen lots of soldering issues on the System 10, 11, and 12 PCBs with the Sony chipset. I've seen ROM boards that needed reflowing. I've seen caps that were damaged that caused video issues and dead board issues because the reset controller IC couldn't do its job without that cap...
Hey folks, toying with the idea of selling it off... LOTS of pods. Off the top of my head... Z80, 68000, 80186/88, 804x, 6809, 6502, 8080, and more.
What's the goin' rate on the system and the pods?
Thanks,
Raymond
Hey folks,
I have a thread over on the Chat About Almost Anything on what is going on over here... Necessity says sell these 100+ PCBs. They are fairly priced. No holds. All are tested / working or refurbished / working. They are all stored in bins in anti-static bags so pictures will be...
So.... I"m building an 8031 microcontroller-based computer kit for the VCF Southwest show coming up in less than a month in Dallas. It runs a stripped down 1.2a version of BASIC-52 (designed for the 8052) that you connect to your computer via a TTL serial to USB adapter. It's stripped down a bit...
Man, that @shoestring character rocks the house. :)
I had some Road Fighter PCBs here for repair and noticed that they tried to run the Hyper Sports test ROM but the text and graphics were wonky as it's a vertically oriented game instead of horizontal.
I pinged him and what did he do? He...
Hey folks
Had a Neo Geo 2 slot board with not only battery damage to the NEO-ZMC2 chip affecting video, but also cutting off 2 traces carrying ADPCM data to the YM2610. The sound played fine for the Neo Geo jingle, but went to crap when it was playing sampled audio data from the ROMs on the...
EDIT: Board has been fixed and I documented what I learned about it and posted it in this thread.
Does anyone have a good, working CHD file - area51mx.chd?
I've downloaded it from several sites and they all have corrupt audio and video and a SHA1 of ea600ab0f8f6952be2f6cceefc0c7fcb3705dacf...
Hey folks,
If you have created them, post them up!
I've been working on a Sunset Riders so I pinned out the protection custom on it using my multimeter. Someone asked for the sound custom on TiT so I did that one too as it was easy - it was in the Vendetta manual. While there I did the...

Seems he wants money to fix his arcade machine and I thought I'd share it here to see what the KLOV crowd thinks. (evil grin)
OK,
Have a Tehkan Star Force here for repair and thought I'd just document where it is so far. It has been a royal bitch!
Symptom: Dead. Stuck in watchdog. Audio amplifier heatsink gets red hot.
The audio issue is interesting because this particular board has 2 audio amps and double the audio...
Anyone have experience with the pre-System 16 boards?
This would be Quartet/Quartet 2, etc...
I have a Quartet board here that had 2 bad 74LS244 ICs on the 68K CPU's address lines. I've replaced those and it tries to boot then stops. I'm worried that the 8751 is not working right since the 68K...
Sorry folks, I know some of you are waiting on parts.
Orders currently in won't ship until either Saturday or Monday. Dad broke his hip today and is in for emergency surgery in the morning so I hit the road and arrived in Columbia, MO, tonight. Flying low, I made it in 8:45.
Thanks for your...
Hey everyone,
Have a couple of these from a forum member and took a closer look at them. They are labeled SW-2P and are the non-remote control version of the GBS-8118.
First one had no sync, but all colors were there. IC9 switches the sync and had failed.
Second one had no sound and only blue...
Hey folks,
If you have a Triple Punch and can't get it to work, check the pinout on any JAMMA adapter you've built - The pinout is wrong.
I documented the right one here:
http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?topic=16004.msg85446#msg85446
Two additional things are needed: Speaker ground and...
Finally got an excuse to try out the new-to-me desktop mill I picked up last month from Craigslist. :)
I had one last Neo Geo to fix for a member here that I've been VERY late in getting fixed, but it was missing a standoff and the ones I have here are too long.
I measured and marked it then...
