Really sorry for this noob post, and I also apologize if this is in the wrong place, as I couldn't really think of a good place to put this kind of thread, but does anyone know if MASsystems.com is still functional/in business? The site seems a bit..outdated, and the copyright says 2005. Has anyone dealt with them recently? I ask because I sent them an email regarding their SuperNOVA SuperGun a couple days ago, and haven't received a reply.

Thanks in advance.
 
I know it may seem odd having the internet and all but try being old school and use the phone lol

Request: Can you please make your sig a little smaller... it's already (in 10 posts) the single most annoying thing I've come across on this forum in months. I dunno why... maybe it's because I hate green?
 
It is so nice to have sigs turned off. It honestly makes pages about half as big.
 
MAS has always been hard to get a hold of . I tried getting a super gun years ago .
 
you can always find one on ebay, someone is always selling one, for about the same price. they make great arcade sticks as well

I would agree with HFK that if you don't like big sigs, there's always the option to turn them off. Mine's also not the biggest one I've seen.

StreetzKing, could you link me to one? I've been looking on eBay with no luck. They're always a lot more expensive or not as well-built whenever I come across one.
 
i want a full write up on a supergun, I think I might go that route instead of a custom cabaret, only because I wanna pick up some golden tee boardsets and I wouldnt have to worry about flipping an arcade monitor, I could just rotate a tv.
 
Mass Systems are a bit outdated. I wouldn't recommend them to most people.

Back in the day (2003ish), the major selling point was the sticks. But Custom Sticks have come a long way since then. Or you can always get a Neo Geo Stick. Or mod a gamepad if you so desire.

The MASS gun also only has Composite and S-Video outputs. That sucks especially at that price. To play them on a LCD/Plasma, you really need component or it will look like crap. And the MAS encoder has always been inferior to the Jrok encoder.

I think that you can do better by searching around. Possibly by asking around at neo-geo.com....

it's not too hard to build your own, depending on what your goals are.
Playing on a SD TV these days is a little old school.

you can build one using this.

http://www.jammaboards.com/store/cga/ega/yuv-to-vga-converter-pcb-gbs-8220/prod_291.html

That only outputs VGA. It is a great solution if you are using it on a TV with VGA in (esp. a Plasma/LVD). But otherwise, it won't help you much.

Building a Supergun is the best way to go in my oppinion. It is ungodly easy to do.

I recommend either a JROK encoder or the Neobitz (only really outputs component).
 
this is sadly where the supergun repository info is sadly still needed.
I loved that site and the gallery of what people had created.

I always wanted to build one like a LP player that has an acrlyic top to open and lay a PCB in there. I never liked how people just but a bare PCB on top of the supergun.

A quick search shows multiple guides to building one. I slapped the guts of a dead cab into one as a ghetto test rig but then when those 7" RGB LCDs were offered here, I bypassed my JROK and hooked it to the LCD. Now I really want to rebuild it into a nice case with a built in monitor and options for a gamepad or plug-in joystick. I have it hooked to an extra Cocktail 9" CP which is really ghetto right now.
 
I'm really trying to stay away from building one, as I have no technological knowhow. The money side isn't really that big of an issue, and this is just easier. I posted a WTB thread over at Neo-Geo.com, so hopefully someone can help me over there too.
 
I actually got a PM about half an hour after you posted that, Prairied. I already found one there! Seller is really nice too.

Edit* And I see StreetzKing is looking to get one from him too! :D
