Neo Geo with a gbs8200 vid board, clamp settings?

You can get the carts for around $65 on Aliexpress, if you don't mind waiting for it to get here from China. Otherwise, you can get them from US sellers for around $100 on ebay, Holland Computers, etc.

Thanks, who thought the connector from the factory would be bad?

So who has said 161-1 carts? Price? Little more testing and I'll put a 24" led in this

* Also in the setup, it doesn't seem to be keeping the time I set very well, dunno what I would need this for, and what is this " insert memory card" option in the setup, didn't know it took one. That anything I need?

Thanks


The Neo Geo board has a battery on it. Those batteries leak and wreck your board. Your battery may need to be replaced. If it is original it definitely needs replacing. This battery keeps time and also saves high scores and settings for your Neo Geo carts (the most recentl ones inserted anyway). Make checking and changing the battery your next priority. My game battery worked perfectly but had started leaking when I went to change it. I was probably a few months away from a ruined board (or one which would require a lot of repair...)

The memory card is another option you can use (you buy one) to save progress in games. Completely optional but awesome arcade feature!). Memory card has nothing to do with battery as it saves different things.

So you don't need to have a battery to operate it but it's nice to have? Who has a replacement battery for it? I will look at it immediately and if its original I'll cut it out of there if its not needed until I can get a replacement

It is a rechargeable battery on nearly all Neo Geo boards and I got my replacement from Twisted Quarter. I'm sure lot of people sell that battery though.

Game will work fine without it other than the fact that your settings won't save. For example free play settings and attract mode settings...

I'll check them out thanks. Hopefully they will have ones in English if I'm ordering directly from China
 
Take that bad boy out and replace it with a coin cell type battery. Pretty straight forward. All you have to do is clip the 470 ohm recharging resistor.
