So Ive been looking for a 4 slot board for my Neo Geo but have always been tempted by the 6 slot. Ive heard the 6 slot boards have lots of problems. Do people exaggerate this or are they bad boards?
 
I have two of them. One of them, the sound just started to be on high all the time. Not sure what's wrong with it. But otherwise it was working perfect or no different than any other PCBs. You still have to clean the carts before you seat them.
 
I repair a lot of Neo Geo boards and I have to say that the 6 slot gets a bum rap for no good reason.

If you change the battery out to keep corrosion away then keep the carts/slots clean AND have a power supply big enough to handle it you will have no more/less problems than you would with any other Neo Geo board.

Don't use some wimpy 7A at 5v power supply. You want the big one. Oh, and one with a fan. Don't use a Peter Chou or Happ switcher that has no fan, or if you run those at their upper ends of power output you should point a fan at them to help them stay cool.
