easy mod of a neogeo Stick 2

Montag, November 30th, 2009

Hi Folks,

we have some NeoGeo Sticks 2 for PS3 in stock.
But it works not @ the good old neogeo. So I make an easy hack for the neo geo.
After the mod it works on PC, PS3, Neo Geo, NeoGeo CD, MAK and Clones. (Attention do not connect both PS3 and NeoGeo at the same time).
You can buy it ready for use if you want or make it yourself.

I make use of 6 Buttons at the neogeo connector.

Here you can see the NeoGeo Connector:

3 Select (Coin) orange
4 Feuer D (4) pink
5 Feuer B (2) yellow
6 Rechts darkgreen
7 Unten lightgreen
8 5 V darkblue
9 N.C. lightblue
10 Feuer F (6) purple
11 Start grey
12 Feuer C (3) white
13 Feuer A (1) black
14 Links brown/white
15 Oben black/white

If you didn’t want to see 2 cables out of the neogeostick you can make use of a Sub-D 15 connector and a separate cable.

Hi Folks,

today it’s time to make amiga upcb working.

In the original Document of neogeo.h the +5V at older Videogame Systems are defined at Pin 5 of the SUB-D 9 pin Connector, but for amiga it’s wrong: Here we can find it at Pin 7 of SUB-D 9 pin Connector.

The frontsite needs most time because of the holes, frontdoor.

The buttons done with two different hole sizes, because of the authentik look deeper in the wood.

I changed my mind from mdf to a material in black.

It needs more accuracy in wood preparation like diagonal cutting

The advantage of new material is no need to paint :-)

I am currently building the body of the pinball.

Fist I have to cut down the sides so it looks like an pinball.

I screwed both together and make one cut, so both sides are identical
