The game is a one or two player head-to-head game where you compete with a friend or yourself for the highest score possible. Think Flappy Bird but instead of trying to avoid crashing into pipes, your on-screen […]

I recently designed this magnetic latching storage case for the excellent NeoSaveMasta memory cards by NeoTurfMasta for the Neo Geo. I had originally tinkered with a print in place plastic hinge system, but felt that it was too flimsy and would be something that would easily fail over time. Since the case, when closed, […]
The BeharBros just announced a new supergun specifically designed for use with Neo Geo MVS boards, called “Shogun“. This is BeharBros‘s latest addition to their on-going line of Neo Geo related paraphernalia that includes the VGA16, RGB16 and the upcoming consolized MVS.

Furrtek decapped the PC Engine platform’s (PCE/TurboGrafx-16/CoreGrafx/SuperGrafx/Duo/etc) video generator chip, the HuC6270, back in November, and then sent it to John McMaster for photographing and imaging. John just published an extremely high resolution map of the chip that can be used for reverse engineering. Decapping is the process of removing the casing of an integrated […]
Behar Bros just announced, through their official Facebook page, the completion of the VGA 16 project, a 480p outputting solution for Neo Geo MVS boards. Following the reveal of their dual-ouput (VGA & RGBs) consolized MVS earlier this year, the Behar Bros have decided to release the FPGA-based line-doubling RGBHV VGA board, used with the […]

Thanks to the hard work of Furrtek, Sorgelig, Greyrogue, Rysha and other contributors, installing it is as easy as choosing the update option in the scripts menu of the MiSTer. Users who do not have network connectivity or that prefer […]
A developer who goes under the screen name Coin feeder on the arcade-projects forums has recently revealed that he is developing a new “tate” style shmup game for the Neo Geo MVS. I had the opportunity to video chat with him, and during our conversation he demonstrated a very early version of this new game running […]
Magic Trashman has written a tutorial on how to padhack a Neo Geo Mini controller to DB15 (arcade/Neo Geo direct connection) and add a clicky microswitch d-pad to it. It’s a relatively complex mod involving custom 3D prints, but MT has been offering pre-modified controllers for sale through Twitter. I bought one of these from […]
