The Neo Geo with the top bent, you could probably fix that by adjusting the horizontal sync/shift/line/frequency pot.

I just like the original Neo carts . Mark of the Wolves is one of the best fighters . I remember buying it when it first came out and played it alot . Metal slug and shock troopers are good also . Theres lots of good games for Neo , the carts are cheap . They're just funner to collect than a multi cart .

The other board set did fully work, and swapping out the video card took care of the problem with the set I had. So I will be picking up a new video card soon. Now the power supply is starting to make a racket. I think that will be getting replaced soon too.
But glad I could help, hope everyone gets their stuff out of your garage as well.

They look much better in your garage than mine.
NEO and Dragon Spirit in the basement:
Both work PERFECT. Awesome pick-ups IMO.

Adam, I'm about to ice my back and I didn't even move that beast. I think the X-Men 6 player cab is endorsed by the Chiropractors Association of America.

XM6P is on wheels, at least.

X-Men was a favorite of mine growing up. I'd never have room for it or the patience for keeping up with 2 monitors, but it's still an awesome machine.
What really caught my eye was Ghost Town. I've never heard of it before, but I really love the way it looks. Hopefully someone posts some better pics of it.

Exactly. Grab 3 friends and roll it where you want. To be honest i was one of the easiest cabs to move because of the great casters.

I spy....2 Star Wars uprights....
What is the story with them?
Close... 1 cab cut in half. The cab was in crazy rough shape, so I took the sidewalls off to use as artwork in the gameroom.

I tried that game yesterday at John's. I think I lasted a total of 30 seconds.
Ridiculously hard...

Nice looking Neo. That would be a MVS-4-25 V.3
Here are a couple of tips you want to keep in mind when getting a new MVS.
First, if the EL Panels in the marquee are not lighting up, chances are high that the EL "paper" needs to be replaced. It is very important that if you have any intention of replacing them in the future, that you disconnect the mainboard and power from the marquee light inverter board (which you'll find directly behind the wood marquee housing) until you do. If you listen, you might even hear squealing coming from it. If the bulbs die, the inverter has no place to send its voltage, and this it will eventually kill the inverter if kept running on dead bulbs for too long.
Second, take the case off of the mainboard, and check to make sure that there is no system battery leakage onto the PCB. With a V.3 you probably won't have an issue, but it is always very important to check anyway, as it can cause all sorts of havok with an MVS board.
As far as multicarts go, I don't go anywhere near them (or bootlegs in general), but they are a cost effective option if you just want to play lots of games. The trade-off is that these carts are not made by enthusiasts, but by a still active foreign pirate scene, so the quality of the ROM dumps ranges from decent to dubious. Some of the dumps are sourced from other flawed bootlegged carts, and a some of the "games" listed are hacked variants, so ultimately you get what you pay for.
If you are looking for 100% authentic gameplay from your Neo, make a small list of a handful of titles you want, and keep an eye out for them online. Many of the more popular classic titles are actually quite common in bare cart/gamer's condition form, and can be picked up without causing your wallet to scream in agony.
