Wanna let my retro bros know that Amazon USA has the Neo Geo Mini International for $30 right now:

If you were ever considering it, now might be a good time.

yeah no. if it was an aes mini with at least one stick or two proper pads, i'd buy it for that price.

>> No.6384308

Can any micro C USB compatible controller work or does it have to be one of the proprietary NG mini pads? If I can play this with my Switch pads I might just purchase this

Are there / will there ever be genre specific home arcade machines? Company specific ones are kind of cool but I'd much rather have a fighting game machine, a beat em up machine, or a shmup machine

I dont give enough of a shit to go through the headache of setting up a dedicated mame pc in an arcade cabinet, but I'd probably pay $200-$300 for a shmup plug and play

Arcade 1up has specialized "mini cabinets" that are themed with specific games and are about four feet tall, but they're not quite what you're looking for I don't think:

Yeah, I just checked. You can switch out any of the existing images or populateyour own. I see people running CPS games. Apparently it has a broadcom 1ghz processor in it so a lot of emulators work on it but it would chuug bad with anything 3D and the onboard storage is eensy but you can plug usb drives into the P2 usb-c port if you're so inclined.

Still deciding whether I want to buy one or buy a 4th icade cabinet for about the same money.

Walmart has the Final Fight cabinet for $50! That seems like a steal for a 3/4 scale 2-player cabinet.

I got lucky then, cause I Don't think that it's worth more than $30. I also hear that the button mapping is shit on the wired controllers. Eh, I'll take it for what it is since I caught the sale.

>>6384812
I've been trying to focus on the tutorials to get a better understanding of the hacks that can be done with it. Especially with the USB hack. Surprised that no one has found a hack for dip switches nor button mapping, but it's something.
