I’d love the plans for those. I wanted to make one a few months back and put my slim PS2 in it, but never got around to it

@pocket_lucho
Thanks for agreeing

@miked

@karm
a naomi would be great but DCs are smaller, cheaper, and have way more games. I dont see why it shouldnt be done!

The problem is that the neogeo mvs works only with the 60 hz screen… in a pal psone screen the image rolls, This screen is interlaced, not progresive, for this reason, I can conect directly the rgb and sync output to the screen, like pal tv, no supergun needed, For this reason, I think the rgb out only works on pal tvs…

I live in a pal area, but in the 16 bit era, this was a BIG problem, black bars due the extra resolution and slower gameplay for the 10 hz difference, the good thing is that ‘recent’ crt pal tvs accept pal and ntsc without any problem.

The dingo screen is too small, I prefer using a mini itx pc board, loke you will see soon ;)

incidentally, I feel you’ll never get the feel of an arcade at home, it’s not the machine but where it is, and when it is.

PAL is 50Hz yeah but it also has a higher resolution and more accurate/robust color system compared to NTSC, so to say ‘NTSC is better’ is not quite true, resolution matters.

MAx, I was thinking the same thing.

The Dingoo A320 is a versatile piece.

Heck, you could even break out the controls if you wanted to and bury the whole mess inside the cabinet.

There is a lot of cool tech to make projects like these possible nowadays.

Great stuff.

@pocket_lucho: I’ll take Perfect At Last over Never Twice the Same Colour any day. ;-) Some devices do support PAL 60, though some may assume 60Hz = NTSC and turn black and white.

Extremely nicely built units, in any case!

@Hockeytree

…. You mean a Naomi one, right? ;)

Anywho, a few comments on the whole framerate thing. The MVS board outputs a framerate of 15Khz. I don’t see a supergun in the mix, so I’m assuming that the little LCD supports it.

Why not use a Dingoo running Dingux (see: http://tinyurl.com/q97e3d) for a diy arcade cabinet? it already comes equipped with a a/v out so any cheap display with a composite in will do and the controller would just need some new wiring

Hi, the problem with the lcd is the 50/60 hz, pal works at 50 hz (slower framerate) and ntsc at 60 hz (the real thing) so… ntsc better. Sony make 2 models instead of one compatible with both regions, other screens maybe doesn´t hace this problem.

A dreamcast mini… interesting… ;)
