After last night’s post, I decided to go ahead and put the Neo-Geo in the Mark III.  Unfortunately, it needs another power supply. I picked up used AT power supply the other day. I hooked it up, but, its +12V is too weak. Its only putting out +10V. The board doesn’t like that. Hopefully one of the ATX power supplies at home will work. If not, I may order an arcade power supply. I’ve found them for $20 + shipping. Also, the bezel for the monitor will need to be cut, but first, I may readjust the monitor’s position in the cab.

Once the Neo-Geo is up and working, all of my cabinets will have games in them. They all need some minor work and parts, but they all function. I want to get some coin doors with coin mechs after the 1st. The arcade boards will probably be pay-to-play, the rest free-play. All money collected will go into getting more machines. No games will be over a quarter. I want to get the marquees and control panels complete before charging for games.

I still have the Robocop board to do something with. Looks like I’m on the search again for more cabinets.

Here’s a picture of the SFII board running in Mark I.

I really need to stop staying up until 3AM working on these things on a weeknight. Getting up at 7AM after a late night usually makes the next day a fight to stay awake. There’s just not enough hours in a day to do what I want to do.
