so, how big are all the boards in a aes machine. seems the cheapest and best alternative would be to get an old upright, sans well, the upright case. stuff the inards in a p.c. case or something and get arcade carts
The boards differ in size, depending on how many slots you are looking for. The largest is the 6-Slot system. Check
HardMVS.Com for any information on the MVS motherboards.
As for the MVS carts, they are the exact same size as the home carts, just with different sized connectors for the motherboard. There about 8"x6"x1.5".
The "innards" of an arcade cab you speak of can be made into what's called a SuperGun. With these superguns, you can play Arcade boards on your television, including the NeoGeo MVS system, the Capcom CPS1,2 and 3 systems, NAOMI, and any other type of JAMMA arcade board. (JAMMA is a standard arcades use) Several companies on the internet sell these superguns commercially, specifically
MAS Systems. They build a great one called the SuperNova, I have one myself.
